Memories

Yesterday I met Nobue-san again for lunch, this time we met at Iidabashi and went to one of the cafes by the lake there. It was quite pleasant there sitting on the lakeside, watching people feeding the fish. Though it was spoilt a little by being next to a fairly busy railway line with trains […]

Another quick entry today…since its been something of a long week and I need to go to sleep sometime soon… Looks like I’ll be off to Finland the week after next for a week of debauched code integrationm. So I will, briefly, be back on the old GSM number – hopefully Orange haven’t forgotten me. […]

And todays gadget of the day is…

A keyboard! At last I’ve got some mobility and can sit more comfortably while typing. Its going to take a little getting used to since its a Japanese 109 key keyboard with way more squiggles per key than I know how to use and a dinky space bar. In future I must remember not to […]
