The day after yesterday, I submit a final draft of the series of "An engineer who is never loved by English".

After listening to the above, my senior daughter looked like happy terribly.

I asked her the reason, she said to me,

"It it O.K. to draw illustrations, but hard to receive follow-up emails about deadline."

It has seemed to be rough for her, as a school student girl, to keep promises both strict observance of both delivery time and quality, thought this is an ordinary common sense of business person.

"Do you want to give up drawing?"

"No. But I can keep working as an illustrator like an adviser or a consultant.

―― Hey, girl! You are looking at me from height!

I could possibly keep the above phase.

Breaking our business partnership, both of us will take disadvantages.

Now I can complete the picture if she supplies me this draft line-work.

Father and daughter connected by interest.

I think it is so-so.

-----

At the midnight of yesterday, when I head down to family room, she was cramming for an exam.

After the exam, I promised her to start illustration with reading my final draft. So I told the contents.

"What kind of the final is coming?"

"Let me see... I dare say, it is like "Madoki-Madoka" isn't it?"

"What?"

""Starting with hope, and ending with desperation" or "Starting with pray and ending with curse""

After a moment of silence, the daughter said

"Should I read the draft, after all?"

Last weekend, I came to my country house, and helped my father to change his driver's license for drive history certification.

For some reasons we had had.

Aside from that.

On last Sunday, I went to the exam hall of driving test of the prefecture, I was really surprised to see

Enormous numbers of people.

For the people, the excising parking area was not enough at all. All of the larger driving test was opened for the parking lots.

"vehicle-free promenade" of the driving test course.

Even so, it was very difficult to find the parking space.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

I know well that if I make a report of these misconduct, something will annoy me, I did my work without a word, and went back home soon.

I think that I am also going to leak my personal information with my fault,

because I will not be able to catch up with technology evolution, or to be perceptual disturbance, or both of them.

-----

So,

- Making a display of many knowledge and skills,

- Taking pride in ability or worth

or

- Issuing intimidating orders to subordinates with authority in terms of office,

It might be O.K. however, perhaps, I think that it is better not to do.

Eventually, there is only one choice for us that "we can not do anything without someone's help and we become something miserable "

Our,beautiful, cool, powerful days, will be overwritten easily ,with that "miserable thing".

Now, if we are doing great, the misery time when "we can not be done without someone's help" will stand out in the future.

-----

Well,

In that sense, I am prepared from now "I will be the biggest shareholding of the miserable someting,"

I think that there are many people who do not know what I am saying, however, It is OK, because you are going to understand it soon.

You may not feel it, but the clock of PC loses time easily.

The reasons are that

- the accuracy of the oscillator installed in the personal computer is bad (instead of cheap)

- most PCs can acquire the correct time from the time server when connecting to the Internet,

so it is difficult for to notice it.

I studied about a personal computer to realize handling time of 0.000000001 seconds (quite incredible), so I am familiar with the time accuracy of this personal computer.

-----

In most companies, when accessing an external server from a personal computer, strict security processes run.

So, my personal computer was also in trouble because I could not set the time synchronization with the external server quite well.

Leaving it out, the time goes loses time more than five minutes in a week, so I tried it a lot

for example, tunnel a hole in the firewall or design of a module that receives radio waves of domestic radio clock.

-----

However, one day I noticed

"If I set it manually, is it soon?"

It took me less than 20 seconds to manually set the time of the computer while watching the time of the watch of my favorite radio clock.

-----

Engineers want to "automate" everything.

Their motivation for "automation" is not wrong.

"Automation" "Lightening" "Simplification" "Speeding up" is justice no matter what anyone says.

However, it is also an engineer who tends to lose sight of "cost with the justice".

I have been interested in virtual money (like BitCoin).

However, my interest of it, is not "function" but "investment choices". I don't care of it at all.

So I hope that the "investment boom" will be finished as soon as possible, I want to use it in daily routines.

The reason is simple.

"Payment procedure of newspaper at the front door"

"Collecting of membership fee of block club by routine-run"

I am annoyed by them to death.

Bank transfer might substitute for them, however I feel bad to know or be known account number, and account holder's name.

Direct debit is not good for me, because I lose the review of payment.

Virtual money is valuable to realize cash-out without "future trouble".

In short, I want someone to realize an "attached money by e-mail" as soon as possible.

Even if it is difficult, "Amazon gift ticket" that include an encashment function" is also O.K. to me.

(To be continued)

COVID-19 is currently in fashion, the so-called “new coronavirus".

In the future, I will use this name (COVID-19) in my my column.

Later, the name will be changed and it will not be possible to track the article.

For example, the "Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake", "Miyagi-Ibaraki-oki Earthquake", and "Tohoku-oki Earthquake" are finally decided by the Cabinet as the "Great East Japan Earthquake".

That aside.

-----

The outbreak of COVID-19 has increased the quantity of masks nationwide.

Due to concerns about the shortage of paper due to this, in Japan, there is an uproar in purchasing toilet paper.

There are various ways to use toilet paper. However,

"Paper used to clean the excretory organs after stool"

I think this application is mainstream.

And, in that application,

"In the absolute sense, I am a person who is not worried about lack of toilet paper at all"

I can say with confidence.

-----

Well, everyone.

Listen to me.

I mentioned here that when I was young I traveled alone in India.

At that time, I was traveling around the country at cheap hotels in India with "When in Rome、do as the Romans do."

At that time, there was no toilet paper in the downtown area of India at that time. Moreover there was no concept.

"Anus was hand-washed with water"

In particular, when wandering the dead line, I had to go to and from the toilet in minutes.

If I was using toilet paper, I could bleed from the anus and not be able to defecate itself.

Therefore, in fact, I was cleaning my anus using water and hands.

As a result, it was true that the anus was kept clean.

And once I got used to it, this "manual washlet" method seemed even more "right".

-----

Of course, I acknowledge that this is a good thing I have gained from the result waking around the dead line in India.

However, when the toilet paper disappeared from the store,

(1) As above, my anus can be washed with water and hands (*)

(*) Of course, you need to wash your hands afterwards.

(2) Submerged magazines and newspapers and semi-dried paper can be used as a substitute for toilet paper (*)

(*) Since it is not desirable to flush the toilet, you can dispose as burning garbage

dirty? How do you think infant diapers are processed? ―― If you are a regular child care person, you can feel that it is normal.

(3) If you blow your nose, you can use ordinary A4 paper. (4) If you want to wipe the table, just use a normal towel.

By the way, (5) If you use A4 paper and stapler, you can make three-dimensional mask on your own.

If limited to the purpose of preventing droplet infection to others, this should be quite effective.

-----

If you were born as a person with intelligence,

"Use your imagination a little"

I want to say that.

Do you think that there is a good story of "winning the fight against COVID-19" without changing the current lifestyle.

"Wash your ass hole with your own hands", literally.

I watched the BS1 Special "2.26 Incident - Approaching with Top Secret Documents" (rebroadcast).

I thought that N-Spe would never be able to surpass "The Cuban Missile Crisis: A Shuddering Record, Nightmare in October", but this was another great work.

Unusually, my other family members were also watching the program seriously. There was a different kind of power and fear than in the movies.

The Navy's network kept track of the coup d'etat of the army's young officers in real time, from its inception to its suppression.

This is based on a recently discovered document.

-----

My father was a student at the Naval Academy (the war ended while he was still in school), so I have heard some very vivid stories about the Army vs. the Navy.

Well, that's aside.

In this program, I heard that there was a plan to "directly attack the Diet building occupied by young officers with distant fire (40km range) from a battleship", and that the battleship Nagato had already been deployed in Tokyo Bay -- to be honest, I was pale.

This is not the era of pinpoint missile attacks using lasers.

"Chiyoda Ward, annihilation"

I thought so too.

-----

What surprised me the most was the interview with a 103 year old army soldier who was automatically included in the rebel army.

No way, right? The way he speaks so clearly, the details of his memories of that time, they don't seem to belong to a 103-year-old man.

He looked youthful enough to pass for "65 years old".

Is it "Old Japanese Army" ? Would I get the anti-aging benefits if I joined the military?

I wondered if there was such a thing as "recruiting senior members of the Self-Defense Forces.

I don't know much about SWIFT(*), and I honestly don't think I understand deep in my heart what it means to exclude major Russian banks from this system now.

(*)A non-profit organization headquartered in Belgium, a global payment network that handles international financial remittances

However,

"VISA and Master suspend card payments in Russia"

This threat is understandable for me.

With such sanctions, the Ebata family's cash flow would collapse in less than two months.

In the case of the Ebata family, if Amazon's service outage is added to this, I would, at that moment, raise the white flag.

-----

If the removal from SWIFT was a "missile attack", the suspension of VISA and Master feels like "urban warfare".

Anyway, whether it is SWIFT, VISA/Master, or Amazon, I am keenly aware that "The persons who controls the infrastructure, controls the world".

Of course, I believe that "The persons who holds the energy controls the world" will remain constant.

In any case, there is no change in the fact that Japan does not have either of these (infrastructure or energy), and therefore "Japan cannot be the world's dominant player.

-----

Therefore, what our country needs is a "realistic strategy for the weak" and the "openness" to be able to proudly claim that "this is our country's survival strategy.

Just one thing to add here -- "nuclear".

We are the only country that can express our opinions on "nuclear weapons," "nuclear possession," "nuclear energy facilities," and all other "nuclear" matters in the following manner

"We will not listen to any story"

"We will not accept the logic of any justification"

"We will not tolerate any force or any excuses"

I believe that our country is the only country in the world where illogical emotional outbursts are allowed.

-----

The atomic bombings, the reactor meltdowns, the proliferation of radioactive materials - where else in the world have we been subjected to such a series of tragic and distressing nuclear experiences?

There has been none.

Only in our country (Japan).

Hence, I believe

"Only when it comes to "nuclear weapons," there is no need to be rational or logical, but rather to respond with fury and indignation."

I watched a BS1 special, "Close Look at the Self-Defense Forces: The Realities of Missile Defense".

I'm currently thinking a lot about how I'm going to live after I retire.

"I wonder if there are any openings for 'Senior(Elder) Self-Defense Officers'"

I am thinking about it.

That is quite seriously,

I,

(1)cannot run more than 500 meters

(2)cannot walk with objects heavier than 5 kg

(3)If you let me handle the firearms, I could cause casualties to our allies by misuse.

(4)If I were to camp out, I am confident that I would be a corpse on the second day.

On the other hand,

(1)build an improvised communication system in wartime (maybe).

(2)harassment of the enemy's strategic system (maybe).

(3) (If I can get proper training), I can learn about various types of cyber attacks faster than the average person (maybe).

As for working preferences,

'I want to work remotely from home and serve in cyber warfare only.'

I am aware that I am being very brazen.

However, I am not insulting the SDF people, I am just really hoping that they will use "this half-assed IT senior" as a defensive force and use it to their advantage.

-----

I wonder myself how the former head of the university's self-governing dormitory (who deserted during his term of office) came up with this idea.

If I had to give one reason, I would say it is the influence of this series of articles.

I feel that now that I have the habit of reading figures such as "the number of SDF personnel, the quantification of conventional forces, and the ratio of forces in each country," I am able to see the "reality" of war.

I was a young man when I was talking about national defense without knowing that level of numbers -- well, I think I "played my part properly" in that.

The youth is an important protagonist of Clausewitz's "trinity" of "1. the people = in charge of instinct = in charge of the passion and enthusiasm of war(？)".

To be honest, a young man who does not have a rebellious spirit against war and power--I would say, "If you are such a youth, stop being the youth immidiately"

I have previously written a column on the GIGA school concept.

GIGAスクール構想だけでは足りない、「IT×OT×リーガルマインド」のすすめhttps://t.co/DKbAezZbFT pic.twitter.com/hDYOZ70G9a

? EE Times Japan編集部 (@eetimes_jp) November 30, 2021

A news program recently ran a feature on an "IT literacy gap" among elementary schools in Nagoya City.

The causes of the disparity can be summarized as "money (budget)" and "human resources (teachers)" -- the same as in any other world.

The academic achievement gap is also caused by "money (cram schools)" and "human resources (instructors)," so it can be said that it is precisely the same form.

-----

I, however, have been looking at it wrong.

Yes, there are "money" and "human resources" issues, but we have had three years of historical miracles to overcome -- the "Corona Disaster."

At that time, children and adults were also forbidden to go to school or work and had to study or work at home.

Not for three days or three months, but for three years (well, not the whole three years).

I believed, and even wrote, that "IT literacy among teachers must have exploded in the last three years.

(but I could not find that journal of mine. If anyone finds it, please let me know).

Was I just a fool to believe that all teachers in the field had improved to the point where they could conduct real-time remote classes independently?

-----

However, if teachers in the field are being asked to "deal with tablet freezes" or "set up wifi" or even "install LAN", then that is a pretty bad situation.

The jobs are essentially that of a janitor, who maintains the school's facilities, including electricity, water, and building repairs.

But it covers the whole gamut of IT equipment, from signal strength, directionality, IT addresses, device drivers, app installation, security measures, AWS cloud settings, and more.

Would there be such an "IT janitor"? Well, I don't think so.

Maybe with those skills, they can work in any company's IT systems management department.

And they would be making more than a public elementary school salary.

-----

I think the GIGA School concept fundamentally lacks a system that can maintain the IT infrastructure on campus, even before tablets and apps are used.

I hope the system in that area will be a good place for senior IT technicians like myself to receive after retirement.

IT applications have made significant progress, but the IT infrastructure itself, as far as I can tell, has not evolved much since 1970 -- at the level of electrical wiring or water pipe joints.

So, I think the "retired recipients of senior IT technicians" will probably be exemplary until about the time of my death.
