The other day, when I was going to go to the dining room to eat dinner with a book, I was found by a junior.

A:"Ebata-san, are you going dinner?" Let's go together"

Ebata: "No. Because I read this book"

A:"Do you say that it is important to read a book than you eat a meal with me?"

Ebata: "Of course. Do you think it to be 1/100 of the value of this book to you? How impudent you are!"

A:"What do you read?"

Ebata: "This is the novel which handled a case of high treason"

A:"Was it the story of the His Majesty the Emperor Assassination plan in the Meiji era?"

Ebata: "Sort of. Anyway it is not your business."

A:"Then Ebata-san may read a book. Let's go to dinner together"

Ebata: "Nonsense"

A:"Do you hate eating with me?"

Ebata:" I hate eating with you at the bottom of my heart. Eat a meal alone"

A:"You are actually glad aren't you?"

Ebata: "Any person who eats up my two times a day of "the one meal paradise" is enemy. Get out quickly"

A:"How stubborn this old man is!"

Ebata: "How stupid this guy is! Do you have any good small talk that gives pleasure to me?"

A:"Of course, I have"

The next day,

Ebata:"Hey, watching A is your work isn't it? What are you doing? A was coming to destroy my "meal alone" yesterday"

B:"Really? Did he commit such a serious betrayal to Ebata-san?"

Ebata: "Why do you keep him loose? It is your responsibility"

B:"Such a his bestial wickedness for Ebata-San is beyond my imagination"

Ebata: "Well, I decided to forgive him only this time, because he donated one column topic. But if he do same thing without topics, I will..."

B:"Understood. You don't have to say it all"

When I told this above story to my daughters, they asked me "Was that a really conversation in the world".

It was almost a true story.

(Continuation from yesterday)

I don't know whether the business working on Sunday is good or bad, however, basically, it would a good thing.

In Japan, I don't know the reasons why we don't have much time of license switching on weekdays, are for

- Daily busy works

- Diligent national character.

Anyway, it is true that nobody certainly can afford to life.

-----

Well, I don't have an intention to blame for them.

I go back to my country home, taking my desk-top PC, and do various procedures and assistants for my father and mother, on the weekend and Monday(as annual leave),

Even if I take a day off as an annual leave or care leave, I cannot change the day of the regular research report, and

If you take a day off during the week, only thing I must work on a holiday.

-----

I think that a revolution is going just now, like "the Islamic Revolution, socialism, would be communist revolution or anything" in Japan.

"That's not it"

It has already started since before.

It must be called,

"Old person thrown in the mountains revolution"

"Unemployed revolution"

"Single revolution"

"Falling birthrate revolution"

They are

plain, inconspicuous, and no light of hope, to destroy the state of the mechanism itself,

and, they are true revolutions.

When I was a freshperson, the personal computer was expensive and the performance was low (from the current viewpoint.)

In that time, an administrator of the server machine was a longing job.

At the time, there was no concept of "PC server". The computer was called "Workstation". Many of the researchers were working from terminals of "Workstation" (which was called "X terminal" etc).

So, managing the server machine was a symbol of special efficient engineer among computer engineers, and it was no exaggeration to say that that was one of the status symbols.

I managed to become an administrator of the server somehow, and I did my best for being the administrator.

I was running around securing the budget, improving the skills to use tools, and understanding the concept of network,

If necessary, I programmed the tool myself (for example, I made a sort of "pod chat" on e-mail system).

Moreover, there was no concept of security at the time, so the workstations in my office are not only directly connected to the external net, but also could be accessed by outside persons. The super pastoral world was realized without problems.

-----

In front of me, there is a PC server that has 44 core CPU, hundreds of gigabytes of memory, terabytes of disk space, however,

no freshperson wants to manage the server by themselves.

(To be continued)

When I saw the notice of the animation "Violet Evergarden" with the theme of "automatic clerk - doll",

I thought "Is this about artificial intelligence, android", but, The theme was the opposite(the details are omitted).

It is an animation of really beautiful images (of course, it is a very wonderful story too)

From the start to the end of the program, it makes me feel like I am in an art museum where beautiful pictures are displayed.

When I visited "Orsay (× Louvre) Art Museum", I remember the time when I was overwhelmed by its beauty and lost my energy ---- as a good memories of overseas business trips that gave me a lot of unpleasant feelings.

It is rare for me, but I sometimes stop a picture and I am looking at it ---- to stop the movie and watch it as a picture.

Well, aside from that.

-----

I read three articles only today, stating that "It will be the era when artificial intelligence will do if it is a simple task."

If I were an artificial intelligence with personality, I think probably saying like this.

"Can you manage me (artificial intelligence) ? you are a person who cannot operate even PCs aren't you ? "

To begin with, humans can not manage even the same people in the right way.

That's obvious that if you look at the number of "Nikkei ◯◯" mails with a large amount of URLs delivered to me every day.

(Continuation from yesterday)

First of all, I cannot understand the thought that virtual money becomes investment choices.

You know, the value of money is generated by an illusion, In concrete terms, "the material cost of ten one-thousand yen bills is a few yen."

The reason why we can repute currency of in other countries to investment choices, is that we can value the economic situation as the illusion.

However, according to virtual money, virtual money comes to generate the illusion itself.

Of course, I think it is a good illusion.

Especially, if you know the making process of virtual money, that needs enormous electric and computer power, you can understand it so much more.

However, I don't think that many people can understand about the electric and calculation power, and share the illusion. To tell you the truth, I think that the ratio is absolutely "zero".

How to say, a hero in a boy's comic, who is brutal and unmeaning in many cases, will be shouting with his proud look

"I decide validation of my worth on myself"

Of course, I feel his action is likely to be a comic performance.

And I come to say "Here here, are you O.K. ?".

-----

"Your validation is decided by others, except for you"

"I am afraid that you think much of yourself"

I'm wondering whether to go to the movie "Fukushima 50" or not

This is because of these reasons.

-----

"NHK Special October Nightmare-Record of the Cuban Crisis and Horror of 1962 (NHK Special) (1992)" (pictures out)

This program shocked me.

It is no exaggeration to say that this program created me today as a "simulation maker"

I also bought DVDs and watched them at least 30 times.

After that, I continued to study about the "Cuba Crisis" and now I am confident that I have enough knowledge to present to anyone, anywhere, anytime, from the start of this accident to the end.

However another problem occurred.

I remember coming out of the cinema, furiously, after watching the movie "13 Days" (2000) starring Kevin Costner.

"No depth, flimsy, frivolous rash, not contemplating, and short thought", I remember going home while saying all kinds of abusive language.

Yeah, I know well. Again, "I" am "wrong".

Movies are mass entertainment.

For many, movies should be easy to understand, accept, and enjoy.

If they create a movie targeting a "special" person who can write a column of about 100 pages at any time about the "Cuba Crisis" like me,

The movie would have been a huge failure for box office.

-----

By the way, I investigated the Fukushima nuclear accident.

I am proud to be one of the few people who have probably read the entire report (over 600 pages) of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Investigation Commission, in spite of not directly involved in the accident.

I reread "Countdown Meltdown" by Yoichi Furuhashi three times.

(By the way, about Kaoru Takamura's "God's Fire", I have definitely read the book more than 100 times.)

I watched all NHK specials related to Fukushima nuclear power plant,

I am also the author of the accident commentary column from an engineer's perspective.

-----

"What if the result of watching the movie "Fukushima 50" is similar to "13 Days""

I will hesitate to go to the movie theater.

If I go to a movie, I want to have fun.

I don't just want to go to the movies and get angry and go home.

-----

So I would like to ask you.

Could you tell me personally, subjectively and self-righteously whether the movie "Fukushima 50" is proper for Ebata?

I hope you can judge it from the huge number of miscellaneous sentences that I have described so far.

I appreciate your kind cooperation.

Lately, I wake up in the morning with a cold feeling.

We know the reason for this. It is the loss of muscle mass due to lack of exercise.

But at this time of year, if I say something like "it's cold," it's natural for my family to start buzzing, and they push thermometers at me.

I'm pretty sure it's not 'the common cold or the flu or another scary something, however,

"Taking my temperature is not for my own sake, but for the peace of mind of those around me"

I knew this, so I obeyed what my family told me.

-----

I've taken my temperature twice.

It proved that my body temperature was not high enough.

The first measurement was 34.2 degrees and the second was 33.9 degrees.

------

The thermometer malfunction has been confirmed.

I'll change the thermometer and take another measurement later today.

I have been returning home alone every four months to support my mother in changing her gastroduodenal appliance.

And every time I returned home, I would buy one copy each of "Golgo 13" and other manga sold at convenience stores.

-----

Recently, my entire family returned to my parents' home for my mother's 49th day memorial service.

There, my senior daughter was reading a comic book I had purchased.

She was muttering,

"'The rules are always determined by the convenience of the conqueror.'..."

(*)Golgo 13 Vol.191 10,000 km Sniper

-----

It seems to have tugged at the heartstrings of her, a first-year working adult.

During a remote meeting in the morning, the doorbell rang, and when I responded, she started with a lengthy greeting, so I thought, "It is that" and I did my usual response.

I shouted, "Tell me what you need!"

-----

Simply put, what they say just "Registered mail" or "Courier".

I don't have time.

So, "Sales" or "Religion" from the beginning, that's fine.

If they say that, the response takes only a few seconds -- I just say, 'No, thank you,' and hang up the intercom.

It is a win-win for both parties, preventing the waste of valuable time.

-----

Later, I looked in the mailbox and found a postcard titled "Invitation to Bible Study".

This time, it seemed to be "religion".

Still, I thought, it was reckless of her to visit this Ebata family in this town for missionary work.

-----

By the way, I would accept a request to be a "lecturer" for a Bible study group.

Let me give you a quantitative evaluation of God.

I suddenly remembered that our first pre-marital crisis was a gap in our honeymoon destination.

I suggested that,

- "Grotto Temples" in Afghanistan

-"Wall of Lamentation" under the jurisdiction of the United Nations (or Palestine or Israel)

Other places I remember suggesting include Poland and Osifientim (where the Auschwitz concentration camp was located).

Well, everything was rejected by my wife.

-----

Since I was the one who had sought the marriage, I could not file an objection to the dismissal.

However, I should have gone 'back then' when I was physically more robust and had a higher tolerance for mental shock.

-- I want to leave this as my testament to the younger generation.
