I was setting up new site on XP-Pro with IIS.

Error I could not go over was:

Failed to access IIS metabase

It was fixed by following command.

aspnet_regiis -i

It was not mentioned in the error page. It refers to

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904

But it was mentioned in

Thank you,

Google map on phone

|

Until yesterday, I did not know Google released Google map on phone.

I used to use KMap on Java. But now it works as native program on Palm or Windows Mobile. That's much better.

Thank you Google.

Giga Pixel Project

|

Do you know how many pixel can be captured by your digital camera?

It is about 1-10 mega pixel for most of the camera now.

1 giga pixel is 1000 mega pixel. 1000 = 10 x 10 x 10.

I've attended Giga Pixel Project's presentation yesterday.

Here's their photos:

I wrote loan amortization calculator for Jeanette's site.

http://www.notaryloans.com/calc/

It shows how much your payment goes to principal payment.

Of cource other money goes to interest payment.

If you pay extra, the money goes to principal payment. So it will accelarate to pay off your loan quickly.

If you pay just minimum payment, 30 years loan takes 30 years to pay off.

If you pay about 15% extra every month, 30 years loan will be paid off about 20 years. I think it is big difference.

Yesterday Fancy Green Cheeks Conure(10/6) new bird come to home from PETCO. He is a Fancy Green Cheek Conure.

The hatch certificate says he came out from egg on 7/6/2006.

Rupet was his given name, but I cannot pronounce properly. It came to his middle name. Now his full name is Lucky Rupet Hada.

He will be about 10 inch and live 20+ years. We have to write about on our will. Pre-Paid Legal is helpful for such issue.

He is fun boy. I feel he is reincarnation from Celestial Parrotlet I used to have. His name was GT (Green Tea).

98 New Beetle 77777 mile record After Las Vegas trip 2 weeks ago, I was checking my car's odo meter time to time. For business mileage I check every day. But I wanted to see 77777 mile record.

And I've got it. It was yesterday. I avoided freeway and took local load for commute.

The 98 New Beetle was present from my parents for our wedding. After we've stuck on Pismo Beach with dirt bike trailer, the maintenance cost much more than average.

For the cost wise, it does not make sense to keep car. But I consider it is a kind of luxury I could not do before. I talked to one of my friends some time ago. He said it is not luxury, it is love.

The beetle has number plate as "HADA BUG", but we call "BeBe" as nick name. "Be" is from Beetle. Another "Be" is from alarm lock sound.

I talk to "BeBe" that "You are good car. I appreciate you all the time." He says "Thank you.". It might be just reflection, but I don't mind.

I was recommending this restaurant to many people. Pizza is excellent, but other food are also excellent.

Chicken Francis @ Tony Soprano's in downtown San Jose But I forgot what I ate before. That was Chicken Francis.

Main cheff Marvin is not here on Sunday. So I'd recommend other day.

He has experienced over 17 years and very care about what he cook. House source is made every day from fresh vegitables.

This dish does not have tomato souce. So I'd recommend to have other dish with tomato source.

羽田家の2連シャワーフィルター Do you know your skin absorb toxin?

It is called transdermal absorption. Many people care about what you eat & drink. But it is easy to forget about this toxin through your skin. Skin care, cosmetics, even shampoo & soup may harm you.

Chlorine (& chlorinated compound) is in the tap water & shower water. When it get vaporized, you intake to your lung.

Your pore also open with warm water and absorb toxin more.

Right photo is my shower filter. White one is old one. Black one installed recently. Both did not reduce water pressure so much.

I used to get itchy after the hot shower, but after 2nd one. I don't get it any more. My wife experienced same way.

When we had white one first time, we noticed the difference a lot. But the filter may not work long time.

Water in Silicon Valley is not so great. Especially in San Jose. Mountain View was much better. But after both shower filter I think the shower water quality got much improved. I recommended white one to friend in Oklahoma. She like it too. So I think it is worth to try for your place too.

BTW, black one has cleaning mode. In the mode it spray out to left side. It's better to install facing to wall.

White filter: Aquasana Shower Filter
Black filter: New Wellness Shower Filter

You may be able to install 2 white one. (white one is cheaper)

Tonight I've finished my role to hold Toastmasters area speech contest. It happened by many people's help. I feel very lucky & happy for getting these helps. Thank you very much everyone. I want to pass my appriciation for more people.

When we hear good speech or evaluation, we get inspired. I guess it is all about inspiration. We feel we can too. We can look up for next level. It is not forced. It is not by sales.

If you have not been at Toastmasters club, please check out your nearest club. I'm sure they will help to achieve your goals.

Here's photo before & after.

 2002-04-29: Right after braces installed

 2005-08-08: After braces off

It took about 2.5 years. It was like investment. It was difficult to start, but it was done half automatically.

I had jumped off from tree and crash into rock when I was child. So the bottom teeth were bent inside. And I got accident when I was playing basketball when I was in high school. Jaw alignmnet was messed up. But it was fixed by chiropractor in Japan.

Well I feel we can make amend on past mistake. It is good.

I went to orthodontist at http://www.drmashouf.com/ 

Thank you very much Dr. Mashouf, Dr.Kouvaris, Dr. Fernandes, Rachel, Robin, and all staff.

When I started blog site http://naoki.hada.org/blog/ I thought it would be nice to bilingual site. Because I'm Japanese-English bilingual and MovableType is well handling on both language by UTF-8 support. After while the site got almost all Japanese. So I thought it's better to separate site.
