The other day,

In a crowded train, when I stood up in front of a woman, who seemed to be vomit, I got off the compartment, and change it.

I don't wish to be concerned in such be vomited, and a witness to the scene.

-----

I told the above story to my family.

My senior daughter said that "you make it a rule to help foreign persons in need" and "you always keep a priority seat to give a person in need the seat"

"Yes, I do and have done them, indeed"

"It is contradiction!"

"You know...”

I told her the following,

- My kindness ranges within my expectation.

- I had and have no intention to help person that I can't reach my capability.

-----

"In other words, my "kindness "is not "free and infinite" but “free but limited".

"..."

"Do you think that I am cowardice? Still I believe in "it is better than zero""

(Continuation from yesterday)

After the patent brain storming, I chatted about the yesterday's diary of mine with my junior fellow.

Junior:"If you want, I write a letter or anything to your daughter. But it will be radish."

Ebata:"Why?"

Junior:"We are absolutely far from "affair" in the world."

Ebata:"I understand what you want to explain."

Junior:"If we can cheat, all of woman in the world become to lose."

Ebata:"...?"

When I looked quizzical, he continued his talk.

Junior:"If we can cheat one woman, other men except us can cheat more than twenty women at the same time. In the "love affair" market, women will come short."

Ebata:"I agree. and I also think "affair" needs some kinds of talent and qualifications."

Junior:"Even if I don't go back home for several days, my wife will think the possibility of accidents or works in the office. But I can tell the world "she never think of my affair."

Ebata:"My wife, too."

Junior:"I am a person who can think "I want to go home and read the paper soon" in during the mixer party."

Come to think of it, I also thought "What time can I arrive at the lab, after this date."

-----

off the go, he said to me.

Junior:"To tell you the truth, your daughter has an "illusion" of her father, doesn't her?"

Ebata:"Illusion?"

Junior:"I cannot understand the thought that Ebata-san is popular with women, which is an apparent error. I really doubt your daughter's sanity seriously."

Ebata:"You are right, but I am also totally disgusted with you."

(Continuation from yesterday)

I know well.

My this thoroughgoing isolationism is one of the reasons why I cannot be promoted in my company for my age.

I also know that it is important to have common popular topics for majority of people, in order to keep good relationships in the world.

So I had made efforts for them before.

I had tried to learn the names of football, baseball teams and the player by heart,

However, it had been in vain.

For me, it is easier to learn the year that Chengjisi Han's son or grandchild started to make inroads into Europe or East-Asia than above with my daughter's homework.

After all, I could re-confirm that "For human beings, it is difficult to learn anything that we feel difficult.

(To be continued)

Now, I hear a famous professional baseball team continues defeats in a row.

I am not interested in baseball at all (except for amateur baseball), of course, I don't care the condition of the professional team.

I pity the baseball manager deeply.

I think that any task of baseball managers is hard and harsh with strain of grief.

Of course, I know that any kind of work is hard and harsh, however, the strain of grief must keep almost everyday for several, is

"No kidding"

If the team continues defeats in a row, "fans" and "critic", who are not familiar with the details or condition of team, blame the manager,

and

if the team continues win in a row, they give the praises of not only the manager but also his/her character.

These defeats or praise chop and change week by week, and they don't feel shame at the undisciplines.

and

According to the nature of manager's jobs, the manager cannot ignore all their opinions.

I cannot do anything except for feeling pity, indeed.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Most of this problem comes to the teacher side, however I do not allow the excuse that "there is no such IT literacy for the teacher", "the teacher is busy and there is no such study time".

Because a teacher exists as "a existence that does not allow that excuse for students".

-----

However, no matter how much I rebuked and inspired the teacher, actually I am afraid that improvement of IT literacy is difficult.

Replacing "Reading, writing, Soroban" with "Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Mail, Smartphone" is the same as difficulties, such as the Meiji government aimed at studying for entire people in Japan.

No, is not it so difficult?

When I was 19 years old, I started working on my computer, and then I hit a lot of landmines on my computer.

I don't remember how many times that data has become an obscene due to HDD crashes or hardware failures.

So, for these problems, I have prepared quite a lot of preparations.

We have also tried Kernel backup and BIOS settings (USB boot, network boot, etc.) completely, and various startup interrupts such as F1, F12, and CTRL-I.

I have been tired of failing to start up my computer for the past two weeks.

(Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent GE V1.5.38 pxe 2.1 build 092 (wfm 2.0))

"I do not know the cause at all"

Yesterday, at last, I opened the contents of my PC, removed the dust, and replaced the battery (CR2032) on the board.

Even so, sometimes I was able to launch successfully. I could not say "the board has passed away" with his head in his hands.

-----

For the time being, I cannot do anything, so I switched to another alternative machine on my main PC and started worked.

And, this morning, I noticed that the same problem of "boot failure", has appeared on the "alternate machine", I lost color.

I thought that "there is another cause for this," I pulled out the network cable, and removing all USB devices. Finally I succeeded the boot.

And one by one, I erased the cause, finally, it was plugged into a USB hub for charging, I identified

"HUAWEI's smartphone"

as the cause.

I thought that the USB of "the smartphone of HUAWAI" was only used as a power supply mode, and it should not be the target of boot.

However, with the "HUAWAI smartphone" connected, the same phenomenon appeared on two PCs. and with disconnected, the same phenomenon disappeared.

At present, there are only "HUAWAI smartphone" at home (only the second girl is clinging to the iPhone), and I have not been able to experiment with other Android devices, but at least the problem did not occur on the iPhone.

-----

I do not know whether or not spyware is loaded in "HUAWAI's smartphone" and it does not matter for me.

It is possible that personal information of my smartphone has been transferred by using a personal computer as a springboard.

I will give my personal information, if someone need them(No, no way, absolutely).

Anyway, they can only track my home, company, super public bath and ramen-shop.

-----

However,

"I can not forgive anyone for having kept me suffering for the past two weeks"

And, I'm getting angry and angry.

This is called a "backlash".

And it is also a typical process in which "atonement" occurs.

After the state of emergency was lifted, I know that the morning rush in Tokyo has begun again, according to news reports.

I'm more than a little shocked.

I had assumed that a significant portion of the workforce would shift to telework.

I thought that at least "staggered work hours would be the norm", but unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.

-----

I was wondering how widespread the state of telework was prior to the outbreak of this disaster.

"I got a hit in a column I had written."

At that time, I was estimating "13% of the workforce".

In particular, this graph shows that the only work that can seriously adopt telework is the "service field".

Watching NHK news, we get the illusion that telework is being introduced everywhere.

In fact, I guess the news about those things are just rare cases.

Two months of declaring a state of emergency may not have been enough time to create communications literacy for all of the Japanese workers.

-----

However, my daughters are taking classes, conducting job interviews, and talking to their friends in a light-hearted way at "home".

So changes in the way people work through telework, triggered by the corona disaster, may emerge in the next 10 to 20 years.

If that is the case, then we may have to evaluate the "morning rush" in 10 years' time, not "now".

In the anime "Super Cub #10" episode, there is a scene where the main character drives the Cub through the snow with normal tires.

Driving on snowy roads is dangerous even for cars. However, in the case of motorcycles, it is a "confirmed fall" hazard.

But, well, even if I know that, there are times when it is unavoidable.

For example.

"From the college laboratory where I arrived in the morning in sunny weather, I have to pass through the city of Kyoto in heavy snowfall at 3 a.m. on my way back to my lodgings"

Snow in Kyoto can be very troublesome for motorcycle riders.

In a word, it's snow that doesn't freeze easily, and maintains a very ideal (and the worst for motorcycle riders ) ice burn for several days.

In my case, I was carrying a 9kg laptop computer "PC-9801LS" (list price 886,000 yen) in a sack every day (it's true), so it was practically impossible for me to move around without a motorcycle.

-----

I bought the computer with a list price of 886,000 yen in cash with a part-time job -- while earning money for school and living expenses.

My university life was filled with no romantic events, but (as I have already mentioned many times) I never thought of myself as an unlucky person.

"The days are full of hard work, and I don't have to think about anything else". That's all I could say.

I consider myself lucky that my "alone" nature and my "technology-loving" nature mesh surprisingly well together.

Aside from that.

-----

When I was a senior in high school, after taking the entrance exam for Hokkaido University, I wandered around Hokkaido by train for almost two weeks in March.

I spent my days repeatedly buying a loaf of bread and pouring it down with water, while using a round trip ticket to visit various parts of Hokkaido (or rather, almost all parts of Hokkaido).

(Somehow, this meal itself is similar to the main character in the anime "Super Cub".)

During the journey, I saw

"a running motorcycle with blowing away snow in a blizzard"

from the train window.

The technique of the rider of that bike was truly amazing.

- While anticipating the movement of the bike as it is swept away by the snow,

- Without slowing down,

- Drafting the bike from side to side,

- Driving easily on roads with deep snow

- An old man in farming clothes

In fact, he was running alongside the train, which was a great speed.

"Oh, my God, he is so cool"

I clung to the window and kept watching the old man driving the Cub.

-----

Whenever I remember that scene, I still think of the line from Porco Rosso (the anime "The Red Pig"), "That's what cool is".

Recently I am developing a programming using with OpenMapStreet for my work and hobby.

However, my interest is going to the direction of cult issues that are not described in the manuals, for example, map falsification ( of course, for my private use).

On the other hand, watching numbers of my blog counts, there seems to be a lot of people who are interested in.

-----

Lately, there are many annoying issues, so I often use the google search engine.

My desperation is big terribly when the hit article is mine.

I watched the NHK program, dark side mystery "The Devil Was There! The World Shocking Exorcist Trial? Who Killed the Girl? ～".

A commentator on that program talked about Auschwitz.

This reminded me of something.

When I was in elementary school, a teacher was about to talk about one of the Nazi policies, the so-called "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" She said to me,

'Hmmm, I think Ebata-kun can explain this better than I can. Can you do it？'

At this time, I was in the fourth grade.

-----

I was more familiar with this kind of thing.

I explained the scale of the number of people killed by giving the population numbers of our city at the time. For an elementary school student, I think I did an excellent job of explaining it.

-----

However,

An elementary school student familiar with the history of the world's (including Japan's) genocide -- This must have been a 'disgusting elementary school student,' not only from a child's point of view but also from an adult's point of view.

I think back to my teenage years and recall that it may have been inevitable that I have few memories of "cheerful" or "fun" times.
