Abstraction

There are many problem that everyone know the answer. (In fact, the answer is 42) We need to know how to abstract the problem to make clear the question.

Reading On Lisp

I'm reading Paul Graham's "On Lisp" on business. What a good job! ... in respect of this business.

Kita Onsen

We went to Nasu, a famous highlands in japan, this weekend. We stayed a historical hot spa inn named Kita-Onsenn. The inn seems to be dated back to Edo period.

"Mystery of the Rose Bouquet"

I went to see a latest play of TPT titled "Mystery of the Rose Bouquet" which was based on Manuel Puig's drama. The play moved me close to tears. In a simple term, the drama tells us that the god's attempts is often resulted in failure but sometimes go well. Is that kind of this web comic?

Illustrator 5.5

Illustrator 5.5 seems to make an eps file with the paper size fixed. So, if you draw an image with the object protruding to left or below, it's dropped out, since the lower-left corner is regarded as the origin point in eps.

Work

That's all.

Prosthetic tooth

Dental clinic. According to the dentist, my gum seems to been recovering very well after the implant treatment. If nothing happen, a prosthetic tooth could be placed at the next month.

Small park

I found a small park while a walk. There are still a lot of places where I've not visited yet around my house, though it's more than six years since I've live around hear.

Do it right, or don't do it at all.

Tokyo marathon 2007 takes place tomorrow. I'm not interested in the marathon race itself. However, the traffic regulation must be placed so I checked the web site. But it's terribly hard to get the web site tonight. When I got the traffic regulation information finally, the page was produced in a PDF file which is linked from the html page just by the javascript function. That is, it cannot be saved, without opening it in the web browser. I had no choice to get it using wget. Unbelievable. Furthermore, I cannot view the PDF file using Acrobat 4.0. It seems to support only newer version of Acrobat Reader. Are you serious?

Call/cc again

I wonder why does this procedure just evaluate (+ n 1), rather return the value?

(define (integ)
 (call/cc
   (lambda (skip)
     (let R ((n 0))
       (cond ((eq? n 10)
              'exceed)
             (else
              (call/cc
               (lambda (k)
                 (set! integ k)
                 (skip (+ n 1))))
              (R (+ n 1))))))))

Hot Bath

I don't usually take a bath. Instead, I take a shower every morning. Furthermore it's cold shower. It wakes me up and keeps my skin tight. However, today I took a bath because I could come home early. Lowering my body into hot water is OK sometimes.

Fleeting

I went to the office in the morning. Then I sat the desk and began to work. Took a lunch. Again work. Soon realized that it's 21 o'clock.

I'm so engaged in a job lately that I have nothing to write in a weekday.

Equilibriem

I seemed to have been losing my aplomb through the last week. I must keep my equilibrium carefully.

Precious Relationship

I went to Shinjuku to meet and eat with my friends. We have known each other more than ten year. Everyone has changed his life for this years, but we still could have chatted on and on without reminiscence. I think such a relationship is difficult to get.

It has been really hard.

I overslept this morning. And I spent a daytime taking a nap. I'm now, however, so sleepy.

Combustion Experiment

I've belonged the space engineering club in college (almost 10 years ago). Today I joined a 30th anniversary party of the club. I'm so surprised that the club is still be active. Moreover, they are developing a newly designed rocket. Cool. They showed us old boys a combustion experiment of the new model.

Break

A storm has been blowing over. I passed a set of printing data to the press tonight. I check a blue slide tomorrow, and all I can do will be over.

Indexing is a hard work

The most important part of building a technology book is to pick up indexes.(I don't know whether the sentence 'building a book' is appropriate.) I think that a poor index dominates a book even if the book has interesting contents. As far as the book I am involved in, picking up index is incredibly hard work.

UPS

I got a baggage including bottles of Flax Oil.
I'm astonishing with the rapid service of UPS.
They have a nice staff in a japanese branch.

No Weekend

I will not take a day off on this weekend. Alas...

Ordered

Finally I ordered flax seed oil and fish oil at iHerb.com. It costed about $40 for shipping. Hmm...
