One of the nice things about my new office is that I can see Mount Fuji and the peaks of Hakone during the weekly meeting. We are on the 20F and the meeting room has panoramic view of Tokyo.

It look a long a time to find this link. I was looking for "passenger cargo ship" and many other keywords but if you want to go travel around the world or even across the pacific on a cargo ship try freighter cruises. I'd really like to try this some time.

I wonder what happened to Richard Bowyer's mailbox. I just tried to mail him and it was full...

Joybubbles,

I hope you are enjoying the sunrises & sunsets in your new place. I'll give you a call when I arrive, I'd like to hear your stories but I don't expect that to be anytime soon...

Take care!

Stuart

I'm really hot...

Death to cheap consumer routers! describes what happens when your home WiFi router goes bad. My Wifi router suddenly needed a power cycle once or more a day as it was prone to hanging up. I wondered whether the provider was resetting something every day around midnight as it always seemed to go bad around then but apparently they get flaky when they get old. Who knew?

Current Mood: relieved

Woo! I just randomly checked the Soul Flower Union live schedule page and found that Soul Flower Union will be playing at Kotobukicho next week!! Wow! It has been such a long time since I have seen them. I used to live about 5 minutes away from Kotobukicho and have been to the festival on many occasions. I think have haven't been to one since Zen was born. Here's the details, see you there:

Avoid Heathrow At All Costs

And in the comments: "Whilst you might think the airport is annoying, the rest of the country is just as bad. I can say this because I'm English."

I always prefer to fly from Japan to Europe and then fly to some local airport in the UK to avoid Heathrow. It's too big and the shops in the European Airports are much nicer to pick up last minute presents to take to the UK.

Well, the weather man says that the rainy season is officially over. It was bright today, but I didn't venture out. I think the post rainy season should be officially renamed the "Sweaty Season".
