Hi everyone, 皆さんこんにちは, Long time, no update, mainly because I couldn’t find the correct words to express the emotions and circumstances. 正しい言葉が欠落していたので、私は長い時間で書かれていない。 All the while I re-realise what I first learnt at Uber Tweak so many years ago. If I don’t write then eventually I won’t be able to contain myself in the realms of my mind alone. 私が記述する必要があることを覚えて. Today is the public holiday Coming of Age Day (成人の日). Also it is currently snowing in Tokyo, Yokohama and Shinyokohama. This is a big surprise as I didn’t expect to see snow.

Hi everyone, 皆さんこんにちは Work is still quite busy. 仕事がとても忙しいです。 Last weekend I visited Akihabara Electronic Town, looking to find a replacement laptop. 先週末は、交換ラップトップを探してい、秋葉原エレクトロニック·タウンを訪れました。 I wasn’t able to find one I wanted and was told to look online. 私が欲しいものを見つけることができませんでしたし、オンラインに見えるように言われました。 I couldn’t find a replacement fan for my NAS. I will need to try again another day. 私はNASの交換用のファンを見つけることができませんでした。私は別の日にもう一度行う必要があります。 I went to Ueno and played Marco Polo. 私は上野に行って、マルコ·ポーロを果たしました。 Ueno Park is very scenic and Ueno Station has a lot of entrances. Apparently the zoo was closed. 上野公園は、非常に風光明媚である。上野駅では入り口がたくさんあります。どうやら動物園は閉鎖されました。 I found the people I met. We went to the “Hub”. It was like a British pub-style bar. 私が会った人々を見つけた。我々は、[ハブ]に行ってきました。 それは、ブリティッシュパブのようなスタイルのバーだった。 The next day was a public holiday, […]

Hi everyone . こんにちは みんな。 Have arrived at a new country and employer. 新しい国と雇い主に到着した。 SIM Card doesn’t work here as it is 2G. SIMカードは2Gです、ここでは動作しません。 Missed last direct bus from Narita. But managed to arrive safe and late anyways. Didn’t realise I could have had discounted bus fare due to youth until I was on the bus. 成田からの最後の直通バスを逃した。しかし、安全かつ遅いとにかく到着することできました。私はバスにあったまで、私は若者のために割引のバス運賃があった可能性を実現しませんでした。   First week at work was busy but fun. Lots of new faces, new systems and new processes. 職場での最初の週は忙しいけど楽しかったです。多くの新しい顔、新しいシステム、新しいプロセス。   Power  adapter for laptop is sick. Will eventually buy a new laptop. Discovered 価格.com , which makes up for not being  able to use umart any more. ノートパソコン用の電源アダプタが壊れている. 発見された  価格.com , これはumart に適した代替手段です。 Passmo and Suica cards , already are […]

Hi everyone, Been very busy. Doors closing and windows opening. Employer and physical location have changed. I had such a wonderful experience giving my own goodbye speech. Thanks to everyone at Emerchants that made working there so fuffilling and fun. Have enjoyed saying good bye to several people in Australia, including a wonderful fish dinner complete with discussion regarding children conditioning their parents with verbal triggers, the nature and definition of live and living. (See announcement of synthetic life here and the line between life and non file here by Martin Hanczyc, also  see Theo Jansen’s Synthetic Creatures here , also see the Chinese Room Thought Experiment). For most of the information from the […]

Hey everyone, New Year, Finally the year of video blog (vlog/ vblog / something else here) or it would have been if I could have gotten the audio sync in wxcam to align to  the video feed. I also played around with dvswitch and webcams (picture in picture) attempting to ressurect the plans for meta vlogging goodness. Look at me , now look at me, now back to me, what you do see ? Its just me. We need to go deeper. Did some further improvements to the manga downloader stuff in Python given that the source HTML stuff had changed, still not fully finished. Watched numerous anime including Black […]

Hi everyone, Recently I have added some Magnetic Bubbles of Distraction to my blog, for those who don’t like to read stuff. (Which appears to be most of the people I talk to, I am not sure why) These used to be on by default, but now they are no longer. They are implemented in canvas and Javascript (and based on the work done by hakim ). They are separate to the drag and drop components of the blog theme, which allow people to move sections of the blog around the page at there lesiure, they are also seperate to the click to read links on each of the posts.

Hi everyone, Still no spice collection, just a single canister of Mixed Herbs, and still no bookshelf, justs books in boxes, although I have a small LCD TV, but need aVGA cable in order to use it with the netbook or other computers. I did acquire icecream and apricot nectar and organic blueberries. 😀 . Though I am all out of icecream at present, so I will need to acquire some more, and also ration my consumption. Trying to slowly focus on side projects in order to ensure they get completed slowly rather than misplaced in the chaotic and busy jumblings of life and employment. Glad to be reading non-fiction […]

Hi everyone, I am really enjoying the cold weather. I would have posted earlier but I spent two hours last night coining Chionarchimaniation (the act of entering a hyperactive / frenzied state during the winter or when exposed to cold weather or snow) , to express a concept in I had in mind for this post. I still haven’t found a place to move out to, or a replacement netbook / laptop. I did buy a DWA-125 wireless dongle (for the Windows XP box on my floor so I can vpn into work) from Officeworks and was presently surprised to find that it uses rt2870 Linux drivers. I love the cold […]

Hi everyone, AC adapter on for net book is damaged, managed to get it working for the moment, replacement should arrive next week. When it does I will probably order some tools so I can repair the old one using cable splicing. Messed Ubuntu configuration on MID by updating a single package, then accidently reinstall older firmware including old Android, old GNU Linux and old bootloader, nothing starts up clean, and I will have to borrow or acquire a male to male USB cable to reupdate the bootloader. Work is fun, lots of Telerik familarisation, and lots of tickets to keep me busy.Managed to spend the test card from work […]

Hi everyone, Updates: I am slowly doing stuff with dvswitch, some of which will involve the new webcam I received (logitech hd c510, works with uvcvideo, though not with built in webcam in tandem yet). The dvswitch stuff is a side effect of my volunteering for linux.conf.au 2011, which was amazing. Other side effects include the development of my OpenWRT knowledge (I did lots of flashing of them for LCA) and getting to have fun in patch closets as well learning the basics about recording digital video. Additionally I am helping review the videos as well. Also got a yubikey or two from LCA haven’t done much with them yet. […]
