Sell my macbook

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:11:21 +0900

I got the newAlumni-Unibody macbook in Australia last month! I was very lucky as Australian dollar was very cheap at that time! It is so nice and I really really love it.

Now I have this old toy that I think I should dump. I bought this "2.2GHz MacBook (MB062LL/B)" in Dec. 2007 and it comes with the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Also the memory has been upgraded to 4G last year.

Please contact me if you are interested. I would like to offer
82000 JPY
or
5800 CNY

iphone application

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 23:13:03 +0900

It's been a while. Actually I was not busy but lazy to update this blog.
My life has been changed a lot with this global financial turmoil and Now I believe everything could happen like my company Lehman Brothers, that I thought would work for a long period, went bankruptcy. Also getting a little bored with my life in Tokyo.

Maybe not bored but just back to normal. Also my written English getting worse and my Japanese level does not improve so much. However, one more exciting thing was the Dictionary in Apple's iphone app store surprisingly selling well. Today I checked out, Korean English Dictionary KE No.4 in Korean app store. Chinese nglish Dictionary CE No.5 in China app store!

What a surprise for me! Check this out:

Chinese/English Dictionary

Korean/English Dictionary

And all my applications

Chinese Spring Festival Coming Soon

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 11:48:36 +0900

Chinese New Year, also called Chinese Spring Festival (春节) used to be the happiest season for me just like the Christmas season for western people. People gather together with their friends and family and I can reunion with my nephew and playmates and we can play together and get the “Red packets” from my parents and grandparents and don’t have to get up early and go to school. It used to be such a good holiday that I was so excited to look forward to when it approaches while this sort of feeling fades and I could not find much happy as used to be. Perhaps it is a festival for kids as my mother told me.

Not a morgan stanleyer any more

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:29:14 +0900

I have received some emails asking about IT division of Morgan Stanley Shanghai. First of all, I would like to clarify that I am not Morgan Stanley employee any more and I can't disclose any confidential information that I am not supposed to tell someone else.

Morgan Stanley is the best company that I have ever known of until now. B People are genius and friendly there and definitely it's a good company to work for but I would like to say it is not suitable for everybody.

Snowboarding and Night bus

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:27:33 +0900

It was just happened without knowing where i was going and who exactly I was going with. I was just told from my friend that there was a good deal of snowboarding ski trip pass. I accepted and it turned out that 11 people joined the group. And it was a lot of fun. Village, snow, mountain and hot spring. But also the nightmare - the night bus though, at least for me.

Cute deer in the Nara park

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:29:08 +0900

I love animals and especially those deer wander around the city streets which makes the city blend with natural. The second day of my kansai trip was the nara that I have been looking forward to since long time ago. It only takes about 40 mins from kyoto to nara by the ＪＲみやこ路快速. There are lots of tourist information in the exit of the train station. Turn right after you get out of the station, cross one road. Comes with the main street of Nara, which I guess it might be the biggest street it has considering it is such a small town. We did not book the hotel in advance. But it doesn't take long for us to find one even it is the busy season when we went there.

Go to the Apple's Armes

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:47:59 +0900

Apple? Macbook? Mac OS X? used to be so far away from my life, nonetheless I just fall in love with the Mac OS and bought my Macbook soon after get my credit card in Japan and regretted not knowing apple sooner before. Windows OS becomes more and more awkward to me after I switch to Mac OS.

Apply A Credit Card in Japan

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:37:53 +0900

Japan is a country where somehow national discrimination happens every now and then. Let's say that foreigners applying credit card in Japan would be a good example. Most of the credit card companies reject your application basically because of you are foreigner here regardless of your job, income, profile or whatsoever.

Multiple Emacs Shell Buffers

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:53:39 +0900

Having my work changed a lot during the last year, from a Lunix developer to a half developer half support and now are purely support, I do not have many chance to use Emacs that often anymore, but I keep to use to it as much as possible. After all it's my first editor in my programmer career. One thing I like is its shell buffers. Unfortunately, It only support one shell as I thought before. Because if you type M-x shell to open a new shell buffer, if you already have one open that will just switch to the existing one.

3 Days in Korea

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:32:24 +0900

Having spent 3 days in korea(most time in Seoul), I find that there are considerable japanophiles here. Although Japan occupied korea several decades before, it turns out not much korean hate japanese. So many Japanese stuff here, japanese resturants, Japanese signs everywhere, japanese TV channel, ... I even got a warm help from three korean girls while I was trying to find a hotel in gumi. They thought I was japanese once.

The O.C.

Sat, 19 May 2007 22:00:22 +0900

I get addicted to the American drama television series the O.C.(The orange city) these days. Iit was past-popularity show(start from 2003) though. I just run into it from a HMV shop in which the DVD version of season 1 is selling off. I need to admit. I'm always slow for the new things, at least, for the past years. When something new stuffs come out and draw the majority crazy, I usually skip it over. while the time when most people get tied of it, I'm incline to be fond of it. That's a big problem of me...
