This summer, I went back to my country house with my junior daughter, and the day was a "Owari-monogarai(last half) on the air.

My country house was is the local area, and I knew that the program was not broad casted in the area.

I sent her "Unfortunately, we should watch it on the Internet", and she replied "BS11 is not available is it?" to me.

This her unnecessary phrase lighted my fire.

At my country house, Not BS wave but only the surface wave is delivered from cable TV line. Because there is no need of BS channels for my parents.

------

I could use BS11 channel during only the period of our homecoming, I came to think that

"I will install BS antenna only for the airtime, temporary"

(Permanent installment might annoy my parent when I don't stay at the country house)

For the first time, I bought a BS antenna from Amazon.com, and tried to check the connectivity of connectors and cables. Because I wanted to try it before the real installment.

In addition, the time we would arrive at the country house was just before four hours to start the TV program.

With a big parabola antenna whose diameter is 45 centimeters, I rode on an automobile, train and Shinkansen-express.

I came to think "How foolish I am", however, I also know by myself that "connection activity" is like my hobby.

No matter how much I tried, I could not confirm the BS signal detection from the TV, and it came to be in vain after all.

-----

However I have no intention to give it up.

At the next homecoming, I will continue the "connection test" even if I break out the cable at my house, and get the the TV turner.

Though I don't like the words of "kizuna(bond)" and "connect to friends around the world!"

I am a party who insists on "connection studies / manual studies" in the compulsory education process.

Today, new my column is released, so I take a day off.

Over the AI (24) Extra edition：This is the seriousness of a engineer

"Steins Gate" and "BEATLESS". Let me verify the feasibility of the AIs in animations

-----

For me, the biggest result of writing this column is that I was able to understand the effect of "Analog Hack" from the bottom of my gut.

"Analog hack" is used to mean "machines hack humans", however, I think that it might be O.K. to use in the sense that "humans hack humans".

- Briefly bowing to the latter person, before reclining the seat of Shinkansen.

- When a car approaches while walking on a pedestrian crossing, trying to pretend to "trot" as I noticed the car

- Do not criticize, pretend to be in sync on the surface, even if it is a foolish opinion of an urgent boss

-----

There is no problem that these are not your flattering, but

"You are doing "analog hack" against others"

No extra "kindness", "sincerity", "courtesy", or such things are necessary for these actions.

Even if you do not want to "take power", the implementation cost of "analog hack" is scary "cheap", considering "insurance to avoid troubles in advance"

For example, the content of this column I wrote before, is a typical "analog hack".

Recently, there are many foreign tourists not only in Tokyo and Osaka but also all over Japan.

I'm surprised at the large number of foreign tourists I have come back to at Nagoya Station, where I have come home frequently at the first round and the first Bon Festival.

If you say this, I think that people in Nagoya will get angry, I want to ask them

"Why do you come to Nagoya?"

-----

"Meiji Village" is interesting for sightseeing.

I also like "Nagoya Castle".

"Osu" is also fun, from the similar viewpoint of "Akihabara + Ueno",

In my opinion, Akihabara is not much to speak of "electric town".

I don't think it is a fair comparison, because I compare Akihabara with Osu in the age when amateur radio was called "the king of hobbies"

In addition, you don't have to worry about food in Nagoya

(*) When I first came to Tokyo, I was surprised that "what a casual place about taste" and knew that it is a “city where guidebooks are essential.”

-----

Still, I don't know why people from overseas are dare to come to Nagoya, so I used the google research engine.

"Toyota Industrial Technology Memorial Hall", "Linear Railway Hall” "Noritake Forest” "Nagoya City Science Hall”

Come to think of it,"Nagoya City Science Museum" have the world's best planetarium with a dome inner diameter of 35m, and when I was an elementary school student, I was a heavy user who had an annual membership in the Nagoya City Science Museum.

In that sense, Nagoya seems to be a "technological tourism city” where science and technology related facilities gather.

-----

When I was a boy, I could say that I had days with machines and electricity.

If I think about it, I might not have been completed without the "Osu Jack Shop" and "DIY Home Center".

To begin with, I was locked in a lab by myself, even at the company office, writing patent specifications and reports, coding, building a system.

Even before the Corona disaster started, I was sort of "working at home in the office".

Still, meetings and business trips were pulling me out of the lab.

-----

These days, thanks to telecommuting, working hours are increasing.

However, in my case, my work and hobbies are in the quantum state of "0 cat" and "1 cat", so I can't "observe" the real working hours with any accuracy.

Anyway, since I can't find a "break point" during working time, I can just keep on building a system.

Reports, patent specifications and conference papers were also submitted on time and without delay.

I feel deeply that this is another result of my thoroughgoing "anti-team-playing" spirit,

-----

However, my physical condition is falling down certainly.

"solitary attributes" + "forced telecommuting" + "IT environment with three computers and five displays running at the same time

is equal to

"chronic fatigue".

is established now.

I finished reading "The Mountain of Marks" by Kaoru Takamura.

As expected -- it was tough.

In addition to the style it seems to fold in at the last minute, my wife said, as she did when she finished watching "Lady Joker" on Amazon Prime,

"There's no help for it anywhere"

It was a work that followed the high road of Takamura literature.

======

When I climb a mountain, the mundane thoughts of everyday life fade away in an interesting way, and instead I am stripped of the shroud of work, life, and words to reveal only my life.

As it was condensed, rolled, extracted, and scraped away, it usually took on a bizarre appearance that surprised even me, but the experience was, in a word, out-of-this-world awakening and paralysis.

(The Mountain of Marks, bottom volume)

======

I am a dropout who gave up mountaineering after only one attempt, the so-called "Yari-Hotaka traverse" (Yari, Karasawa, Kita-Hotaka, Kamikochi route).

However, with the pain of climbing a mountain, I achieved about three walls deep beyond what seemed to be my limit, and I was horrified by my own, when all the social masks were removed and I became "myself"-- I still remember that feeling very well.

I remembered that moment when I realized, "So this is what I am when I lose all of my interfaces: reason, intelligence, sociability, civility, courtesy, and everything else."

-----

The only time I can face my 100% blank self right now is "that fleeting moment when I jump into the cliff called the expert course at the ski slope."

"a moment of zero thought"

I've never experienced it, but I'm wondering if that's what Zen is all about.

So, as a rule, I ski alone.

(To be continued)

For some reason, I am now working in a business hotel with my computer (desktop).

I can use wire LAN, so it is very helpful.

I am writing documents, and making materials, however there is one problem. The LAN address system is different from my home environment.

No, I can't say anything if you say, "How about hard-copying the IP address into the program nowadays?".

Even though it is an experimental prototype, it becomes more cumbersome if it has to be TLS-compliant.

Even if I made another key, I'd have to throw it away immediately... I can't help it... I can't code with it... It's a pity...

So now I am watching the NetFlix.

I had a colleague about 15 years ago who confidently said, 'Global warming is a lie' (he changed jobs some years ago).

I even wrote such a column, so I disagreed but did not argue otherwise.

Because no one knows what the future holds.

-----

But even in the dozens of seconds it takes to get out of the car and arrive at the front door, my body is likely to be burning experience, even this summer,

"Does he still say 'global warming is a lie'?"

I am suddenly reminded of him.

I wonder if he might say, "This is abnormal weather and has nothing to do with global warming.
