Rainy season

At last, rainy season has come in this district.
Very humid days will continue for about a month... dull days...
though it is good to read book in house (^_^;

The warm pacific high pressure comes up from the south,
and the cold high pressure of the Sea of Japan (Ohohtsuku).
Between these high pressure a stationary front appears,
which is called "Baiu-zensen" (a plum front?), and this causes
the rainy season in Japan.

Disk Full!

I usually use Linux boxes for my work and hobby(?). One machine got
troubled today. Debian is installed in it, and recently it was
updated to a new version "sarga". I didn't know it and upgraded by a
command through Internet. The machine has only a small HD, so disk
full caused error during the update... Now the machine is almost
recovered. But is it better to use more large HD? Ummm...

Permanent member of the Security Council

Japan seems to want to be a permanent member of the Security
Council... I cannot find the reason why it is necessary, but Japanese
government and/or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs think so. Even the
mass media don't say the convinced reason. Of course, I know that
Japan contributes much money to the UN, but then what?
Today's subject was heavy... I'm not so good at talking about politics
etc. However, the above one is my recent not answered question...

Sleepy

After all, I could not sleep last night, and now it begins to be
bright... Sorry, I want to sleep a bit until morning.

Busy...

Yesterday I could not write a new article, because it was a holiday.
I do not have a PC at home, so it is difficult to update when I don't
come to my office...

OK. To tell the truth I came to the office yesterday, but I have
forgotten all about this blog! (^_^;;; And today I am very busy, so
I'll finish with a short one... I'm only writing a poor excuse today m(_o_)m

Himeji Castle

My nickname here is "mktf". This contains two initials which I don't
intend to write (^_^;;; Anyway, mktf lives in western part of Japan.
There is Himeji castle near here. This castle is selected as a World
Heritage by UNESCO.

Himeji-jo
- UNESCO World Heritage Centre
"jo" means castle.

This castle is also called "Shirasagi-jo" or "egret castle", because
it looks like an egret. In spring, many cherry trees blossoms in the
park inside and near the castle. There are threefolded fosse around
the castle, and swans live in it. The castle is built on a hill and
the view from the top is very good. I'd like to put the picture here
some day... before that, I have to check how to put pictures here (^_^;;;

First Experience

Hello!

This is my first experience of blog.... now I'm very excited!

Today, I decided to make this page after reading a mail magazine
(mel-maga) which recommends to make a blog to blush up the English
ability. Though the mel-maga is written in Japanese, the home page is
here. I'm still
doubtful whether I can continue to update for long time... but anyway,
I started and I'll try!
