I told that last Saturday, I was dealt with my daughter’s tour of college open campus under the blazing sun.

We avoided the trial lectures for high school students, and decided to go a booth for individual interview, whose interviewer was college students.

I have known that

It is easy to talk an active student to understand the background of the department.

I asked my senior daughter to call for the answer for the following three questions.

(1)What kind of study is going to be needed to enter the college department?

(2)What kind of study you are doing now?

(3)What kind of job after graduation?

-----

We chose both law faculty and commerce only.

The student of law faculty was spare figure and handsome man after her mind. He told her some stories with legal mind logically and slickly.

On the other hand, the student of commerce was dimly young woman, and told us each part of the story. I was afraid that I had to lose time, and tried to sleep alone.

However, I noticed that her story had included all answers against the above my daughter's questions and she finally completed to make one story.

They were fearful students.

My daughter was very moved to hear the stories, and speak loudly "I am going to go this college!"

"Please go ahead, if you can"

I whispered in my mind.

I was absent from an early bird meeting today, because I thought I was not mandatory.

But actually, I also thought that I wanted to offer a silent prayer in front of the television for mourning the people who died in the attack.

-----

Pay attentions to young men who will want to marry my daughters in the future.

A day to commemorate the dropping of the atomic bomb of HIROSHIMA

A day to commemorate the dropping of the atomic bomb of NAGASAKI

A day of anniversary of the end of World War II

Birth date of your parents

To a guy who cannot say even such a thing, I will never agree to your marriage,

even if I know that the agreement of the parent is unnecessary for the marriage after the war in the civil law.

I don't say that "tell me the differences between light water reactor type nuclear power generation and heavy-water reactor type nuclear power generation"

-----

Seriously, the news says that the youth who cannot say the above, is increasing in rapid pace.

Though I was really surprised to hear that the youth who doesn't know the word "Auschwitz", I also feel hopeless, with saying "Japanese, either".

I used to re-read my this diary on August 6 every year.

I can say everything in the present.

I feel that Japan is going to try to move on to a new phase after the WW2.

-----

In the Cabinet reshuffle, Japan's prime minister said, "challenge, challenge and challenge to the future",however,

I am a party leader, whose party has one party policy, "stagnant, stagnant, and stagnant to the future"

"Actively retrospective (not even an ultra-conservative)"

(Of course, in the public, I says that the true reverse),

-----

Well, without insisting on "stagnation" so radical,

I , who reject to make this country like

- Overhead of the people of the street (street) and non-combatant,

- letting the sum go down on them,

- Boasting a strong country

and hope to make this country

weak, hesitant, down without a fight, sickly

- much better,

have believed it, am beliving it, and going to die

am a just old man.

(Continuation from yesterday)

We understood that we were not different positions, so we started to talk about this issue seriously.

Ebata:"I can understand that the shirt with red chili pepper sauce is going to make me lose the trust in our society. But who can notice stains on the stains ?"

Wife:"I believe that any underware should be maintained as just one unified color, and I think that wearing such a shirt is uncomfortable for us"

I got it.

We were sold each other, to know "there are many ideologies in the world"

Finally, this issue were decided as following.

"If I don't care of it, my wife leave the shirt to take its my course"

-----

Ebata:"Let us try another way. this way works as a kind of audit."

Wife:"What?"

Ebata:"This becomes a collateral evidence, that the possibility of my love affair is infinitely low, if I keep wearing such a shirt"

Wife:"Unfortunately, the logic cannot be done"

Ebata:"Why?"

Wife:"A praiseworthy woman who can love affair with you, will be guessed as a person who is able to survive everyday life, even if she get a stain of red pepper to her bra"

(Continuation from yesterday)

Well, on this occasion, now I declare "I will not do my funeral".

This does not means,

"I decline my funeral"

but

"I refuse to implement my funeral in an absolute sense"

Of course, I will feel very happy, a people I want to meet, comes to meet me.

However, although it is a really small number, there are

"the persons who I don't meet even after my death"

I cannot bear, the person will say condolences and look down on me (because I will be in a coffin), even if it is an imagination.

Anyway, I will not able to shout from inside the coffin,

"Go home! Idiot! Why did you come here?"

This is really frustrating.

In addition, the guy is subject not to notice that "I hated and hatred him from the bottom of my heart"

They guy might say that "I was dependent on Ebata" and "We are real best friends" with saying a lie in peace.(Because I will hate or hate them).

(To be continued)

I was relieved to hear that my senior daughter said "this note PC is a part of me at present",

She is spending her daily campus life with the PC.

-----

Yesterday, I heard the new whose headline was "the 40 years has passed since the first PC appeared",and the first PC was "PC-8001, presented by NEC".

I had the same PC as above (Correctly ,it was "8001MK2")

"PC has never been out of my sight in my life"

I feel keenly that.

I have thought "the first PC is "TK-80" isn't it?" or "How about the series of PC-6001" , however let me go above and beyond this.

-----

As for me at that time, I didn't know any computer language except for "N-BASIC"

And I was really surprised to see the marvelous speed of program based on hexadecimal numeral (Machine language)

(*)I was sorry but my friend had designed that.

I could say that I would feel that the speed is faster than the super-computer even if whose speed has the world record.

Thanks to the Machine language programming, I could control an image data processing within five seconds, though I had needed more than three minutes before. My study in the college seminar was going rapidly.

"In order to pull up a performance of computer, I have to talk to the computer by the computer language (binary)"

I could realize that at the moment.

-----

Now, we have already got some high-speed technologies like hight-performance compiler, parallel operation language, multiply-layered core CPU and GPU adaptation. So it cannot be helped that nobody knows the concept of "Machine language"

However, there are some engineers who can use "machine language" in the battle field of R&D for controller that is needed of nano-second degree of accuracy.

I am sorry that I cannot say "it is me"

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

However there is a way to know whether a person has installed COCOA app, without talking. It is to make

"An app that checks to see if the person in front of you has the COCOA app installed"

(I will call this app COCOA' for convenience)

The point is that the COCOA app is open source and publicly available.

This means that anyone with the time, ability, skills and energy can develop COCOA's derivative application, COCOA'.

However, to be precise, this app cannot detect the contents of the phone of the "person in front of you" mentioned above.

The COCOA' can only detect

- Within a radius of about 10 meters from your phone,

- Number of "phones with COCOA installed

So, in order to identify whether or not the "person in front of you" has COCOA installed. the condition is given:

"There is no one else within a radius of approximately 10 meters except that person.

-----

The principle of operation of 'COCOA' is simple.

The COCOA' tries to find a phone that is transmitting COCOA's Bluetooth signal.

That's all the app can do.

What's more, the information in the Bluetooth radio waves is not tied to personal information (such as the phone's solid number), so it cannot be used to identify an individual.

I'm sure you've looked for free WiFi access points around town.

COCOA' just does the same thing.

-----

If I (or someone else) develops this COCOA', it could be a bit interesting.

If the hypothesis that "people who have COCOA installed = high corona literacy" is true, then the following investigations and judgments can be made.

For example,

- Launching 'COCOA' at the entrance of an izakaya or noodle shop

This allows you to see at a glance how many people in that store are running COCOA.

Before entering a store, you can find out, roughly, the number of "high corona literate" customers in that store before you walk in.

(I wouldn't go into a ramen shop with 10 customers if there were only three phones with COCOA running at the entrance of a ramen shop)

- Launching 'COCOA' at your workplace or at a drinking venue.

You can observe the "corona literacy" of your organization or group as a group.

(For me, I'm hoping it can be used as a trump card to "use that as an excuse to refuse to attend a drinking session".)

In the future,

A sign that says, "we do not allow people who do not have a smartphone with COCOA installed to enter the store".

The paper could be put up in front of the entrances of all establishments (government offices, amusements, schools), not just restaurants.

-----

I took a quick look at the source code and it seems to me that developing this new app (COCOA') is a bit of a challenge.

I don't have enough skills or time, but the time factor seems to be particularly significant.

Therefore, for the time being, my work is to to write a column that explains easily

"You don't have to worry about COCOA extracting your personal information"

I might be able to help you with this work.

The column by Ms. M, who has been taking care of my column at EE Times Japan,

"After the second dose of vaccine, I had a 'full combo' of adverse reactions."

is very powerful.

After reading it, I thought

"Individual differences in adverse reactions are amazing"

-----

The Ebata family's (mine, my wife's, and my second daughter's) adverse reactions are as described here.

By the way, my wife and I was able to get an appointment for my senior daughter at a large vaccination site this time.

My wife and I did not have any adverse reactions that interfered with our lives in both the first and second rounds, and my second daughter's reactions are that she had something like the flu but had a good appetite.

In comparison, Ms. M's adverse reaction seems to be much worse than ours.

Incidentally, "moderate" for the new coronary infection means that in addition to the symptoms of this adverse reaction of Ms. M.

"A condition in which one's own hands are used to forcefully tighten one's own neck, making it difficult to breathe, for more than one to two weeks"

-----

I used to have asthma, so I know it well. Asthma, in a nutshell, is a disease that makes it impossible to breathe.

In the past, each asthma attack has lasted less than two hours for me.

But that thing could go on for more than a week or two -- that's so much "torture" that I could consider suicide.

-----

Ms. M's symptoms correspond to what is called a "mild case of corona" -- "like a mild cold?" Don't be silly. Even a "mild case" can be quite a hell.

In addition to this, "moderate corona" is a high fever and neck tightness that lasts for more than a week or two.

When you have "severe corona," it's not about the pain anymore. It's about losing consciousness. And once you become severely ill, you have to leave life and death to your own "luck".

-----

The reason why I refrained from going out (only late night walks) and completed my two doses of vaccine early was because only

"To avoid this hellish pain (and death)"

To put it bluntly, "prevention of infection to others" is a petty reason that is about 1000 steps backward from this purpose.

I honestly don't care if other people (except for my family) suffer or die.

-----

I will continue to do everything I can to 'avoid my hellish suffering (and death)'.

If you don't want to get vaccinated because you are afraid of adverse reactions to currently known or as yet unknown vaccines, that's fine, however,

"A condition in which one's own hands are used to forcefully tighten one's own neck, making it difficult to breathe, for more than one to two weeks"

If you are suffering from those symptoms, I will not help you.

(Unless you're like my mother, who was stopped by her doctor from giving her a second shot because it was seriously dangerous.)

-----

Finally, there is the matter of the "president of some housing company" who appears in this column.

If this is true, then the president fits my previous definition of a

"lowlife terrorist"

It can be said that the president of the company himself is "power harassing" his employees to prevent them from getting vaccinated, putting their lives in danger.

-----

I was given a powerful example of "Ignorance is violence" and "Low ability is the strongest".

My wife has wanted a new TV for a long time.

Our current TV has broken terrestrial digital tuner on the unit, however, we can watch BS channels and can use terrestrial digital tuner of the HDD recorder. Therefore I had difficulty with it.

Nevertheless, in light of the recent trend toward larger screens and higher functionality, as well as the fixed price of TVs, we decided to purchase a new LCD TV.

And the old plasma display (270,000 yen at the time) was to be placed upstairs in the bedroom.

Because it still works well.

At that time I thought the work would only take an hour or two, such as relocating the TV.

-----

At the moment my wife and I lifted the TV, I felt a lightning bolt of pain in my lower back.

"This is no good."

I had the feeling.

I have had many hiccups in my life, so I set out to transport it with sufficient caution, but I already had a gut feeling that it was kind of an 'absolutely impossible' weight.

When I was a college student, I joined a climbing club(I retired in half year) , so I can feel to estimate the weight which ranges from 20 to 30kg.

However, I could understand "The weight of this TV is our of scope" in a flash

Thus, the harsh weekend had started "How a ordinary couples can carry a TV weighing over 75 kg upstairs and then up to the top of a wardrobe"

(To be continued)

I hated the "assigned reading" for my summer homework as a child, so I chose my books.

Later, I found the contents of the "assigned" books quite interesting, and I remember being impressed that the selectors had put a lot of thought into them.

On the other hand, I had a tough time because I assumed that a book I chose must include a summary of the book to lead to my opinion of it.

However, I learned much later that it was only necessary to write about one's impressions of the book, and it was not required to explain the contents of the book.

I regret it now, saying, "I went through a lot of unnecessary trouble."

-----

In my time, there was no such thing as a so-called "light novel."

Today's "light novel" is interesting.

I, for example, even became interested in "geopolitics" from "a light novel" and "quantum mechanics" from "a light novel."

I even got the English translation of the light novel and am studying English (there are a lot of words I've never seen before).

I admire the authors and editors for the amount of effort they put in to create such an easy-to-read light novel.

-----

By the way,

(1) Is there still a homework assignment called "book report" during summer vacation in elementary school?

(2) If (1) above is "Yes," is it acceptable to submit a so-called "light novel" report?

If you know of any, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
