Cleaning bathtub

I cleaned bathroom yesterday.

I bought a cleaner that tells you don't need to scrub but just spray.




But I don't think it worked so well.
Next time I will try another one.

Ended Analog TV

Japanese analog TV broadcasting system has ended its transmitting on July 24th. (except for Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate, where devastated by the 311 earthquake).



This means all Japanese broadcasting has changed to digital.

I was wondering a lot of trouble on that day but actually not much.

A day of new broadcasting.

Changing mail software

Network system of our office has changed a lot yesterday.

And I had a trouble to share files between PCs.

Finally I gave up to use plural PCs but only one main.

Then I have to move all my files to new one.

Especially to change the mail software is hard.

I will try today again.

I might be rather an analog person...

Eps file

Today I spent lots of time to create an eps file.

I just wanted to transfer a ppt file to eps, but actually I spent a whole day and still not yet succeeded.

I bought an acrobat software and tried to transfer from ppt to PDF and then to eps.

I could, but the file size was big, and the picture quality was insufficient.

Please, someone help me!

Soba noodle for lunch

I had a soba noodle for lunch today.

This was my first trial to eat soba at the office restaurant.

It was good that the price was only 250 yen, but the taste was... so so.

From childhood I like soba very much, and I usually cook (just boil) by myself on Saturdays.

Mmm, I think mine might be better.

Grinding tooth

A small part of my front tooth was chipped a little.

The dentist said I may grind my tooth in my sleep.

Probably I have worked too hard and been stressed??

Honda internavi

I applied Honda's Internet navigation system, called internavi.



It was originally for car navigation but now they made an iPhone application.



It's good or even better because it is linked to internet.

For example, when to find a parking, all lists around the destination appears automatically, and it informs me the price and availability of those parkings!

Wow, gorgeous...

Mt. Fuji?

I went Hamamatsu on business.

On the way to go, I tried to find Mt. Fuji from Shinkansen.



Mmm, not near one but seems far one.



Finally I couldn't find the mountain.

It would be much easier when in winter as the air will be clearer.

LED lamp

Last day a ceiling light bulb of my house burned out suddenly.

I thought it's a good time to change the light from bulb to LED.




Upper: Mini crypton light bulb (40 watts)
Lower: LED lamp (4.5 watts)


Though I had wondered if the brightness of the LED might be less, but the result was good.

In addition, the power consumption of the light went down to one tenth!

The only problem is... the price of the light was still ten times higher than normal bulbs.

Eco air conditioning

Today I cleaned the porch of my apartment.

At the same time, I moved the outdoor unit with a slight angle.



Only by that, the power consumption of the air conditioner will be reduced significantly, because the air flow is very important for the outdoor units.

Cool mat

It's July.

In this summer we have to save energy because of TEPCO's failure.

We bought a cool mat.
That has a gel inside to keep cool.

I hope we can stay overnight without air conditioner.
