Stressful elementary school days and comfort of railway running by

Image
When I was at elementary school, the classroom and interaction with my classmates and schoolmates was usually pain for me. As I didn't want to repeat pain of troubles and failures, I tried to be a good boy from the beginning of every school day. I always came up with miserable result, finding myself crying from being rebuked by a teacher or bumping into trouble with other boys at school. In most case, I couldn't remember what was wrong. More than 100 times, some classmates said that the class didn't need me. One of my limited comforts at school was viewing railroad cars at the southeast corner of the ground of the school. The Tohoku line was running beside the school. Although express trains didn't run any more, after Shinkansen, running further east of our city, was in operation, square, massive, and powerful figure of trains encouraged me a lot. I enjoyed to speak details of railroad cars running then and ones of the past, having known by picture books in the second l...

The first hero's name was """" (four double quotes), player MaittakB with shypox, age 11 - My hero's name in computer role playing game was a combination of meaningless symbols like "****"

 It was when I was an elementary student that the first three episodes of Dragon Quest series, one of the most popular computer games in Japan. This series also made the genre of computer role playing popular, and many follower games were on market. When I play Dragon Quest or other roll playing game, I had hard time with decide the name of the hero and other characters. Many computer role playing game prompt us to enter the name of player characters, and in some game we are advised to enter the player's own name for the hero, because players play the role of the hero. I didn't want to enter my name, because before I play myself Dragon Quest, I saw a few classmates playing the game and the hero of them died so often. I didn't want to see the character with my name were killed so often. Just a few days after I began this blog in September 2009, I didn't totally face up with the fact, and made that post.: From my past post The first day I played my favorite RPG "Drag...

My episodes with Dragon Quest series when I was at elementary school

Dragon Quest - one of the most famous computer roll playing in Japan. I refer to this explicitly probably for the first time here. I implicitly told an episodes or two when I first start blogging. They were one of those stuffs the least I want to remember! Well, like other classmate boys, I was a fan of Dragon Quest when I was elementary school. The first episode was published in 1985, when I was 11 years old. I didn't own the first two episode, Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II, I borrowed them from my friends.

According to bullies in my childhood, I was likely to be speaking different "Japanese" than they speak - This is one of how I got despair of speaking, maybe any language

 Write, write and write. Post, post, and post. And I'm going to win [_blank_]. I want to make this the tactics for this month. I will see the strategy for the next after I see the result. To explain more seriously, I'm not sure what I really want to write about and I'm really good at, until I finish writing certain amount, say 100 entries or 20,000 words. I'm also looking forward to unexpected writing even when I feel like incapable of writing anything. Even now, I'm being surprised that I'm writing something at least partially, if not entirely, making sense, because I was so exhausted that I was thinking I can't write anything that make sense just before I began to write this. I know, however, I'm not able to tell what I really mean to tell. When I was at elementary school and junior high school, classmates often implied me that they don't understand at all what I was saying, by saying to me, "Speak Japanese". That literally means that ...

My daily things in August, 2020 - medication and exercise

I take a pill or two every. I get medication for high blood pressure. I also take the pill to mitigate anxiety. Last month I was away from exercise, because almost all days were daily. It wasn't good condition at all to go cycling, and it discouraged me from going out for jogging. Once or twice a week, I went out for a walk with my umbrella up. Each time the distance I walked was only about a kilometer whereas when the weather is fine, I jog three times a week, for each time 2 to 4 kilometers. In August the weather got much better, so I make it a rule to go out for swimming for each weekend, and go out for either cycling or jogging early in the morning as long as possible. In July, I didn't gain weight than I had expected for lack of exercises, but interestingly I gain one or two kilograms after I regularly do exercises.

Before I landed a job, I was too dependent in even finding my strength - especially in 2008 when I was under job training.

You may want to remember and express your strength briefly, if you are focusing too much on your week point to remember your strong point. What is my strong point? I'm interested in the root knowledge of information technologies, and I haven't given back blogging in foreign language, since I began ten years ago. In 2008 I was under job training for people with disabilities. Co-trainees who had mental illness but not on the autism spectrum are more likely to find a job early, but ones who were on the spectrum like me have a hard time with finding a job. I myself tried hard to raise the performance, speed and accuracy of data entry work outsourced to the training office I go to. I however didn't take any action by myself to find what work and what office are more likely to match my personality, my skills I've already acquired, and my interest. I totally depended on counselors, job trainers, and helpers there to find my strength and the place which I work at and help with ...

I'm taking plunge to get Raspberry Pi 4, for test server purpose

I ordered Raspberry Pi 4 starter kit taking advantage of a time sale. It cost a bit more than 10,000 yen. Looks like power supply, micro SD storage, OS installers, HDMI cable are all included. Since 3 month ago, I've wanted to get a Linux host at hand, to test SSH connection and port forwarding, virtualization like docker, and test web server with CMS like WordPress. This recent version seems to be powerful enough to serve as a desktop, but my first priority is testing a Linux server at a local network.
