I totally forgot this account, I should have used this more often.

Anyway, so I ordered Kindle2 few days ago, and anticipating why they take DAYS to get the ship date estimate. and found that Kindle3 is releasing;
Yup, run to cancell the order and order Kindle3 instead. So thanks for Amazon order taking so much time.

However, Kindl3 is avail on Aug 27, so I have to wait more (but saved $$)
and I have to look for the Kindle 3 cover
(Kindle3 is bit smaller than Kindle2 so existing case/covers don't work)

japanese "light novel"

Googled chiropractic reviews and found one, (lots of reviews on citysearch.com)
called up the number and ask they would take a new patience.
Things went much faster than expected and went into the doctor's office on the SAME day.
Doctor flipped my arms/shoulders, put some machines to apply strong vibrations and some kinda ray (en-sekigai-sen??)
and put me on to the bed over the huge rolling pin up and down under my spine.

Well, it seems like there's no surprise for the doctor, he once looked up my occupation "programmer" and concluded as 'wear & tear' for my shoulder pain.
Pro is, not so expensive and luckily my insurance covers good part of its cost. Also each visit would be a 30-min or so.
Con is, it's not like one-shot-treatment, I have to keep coming back time to time.

Maybe I should get a super-expensive mattress and a office chair for my own health...

At my usual stop at Union Sq. farmer's market, I saw Hyodo Yuki (sp?) with her crews.
I guess they try to tape those farmers at market.
They came to one of my fav farmers tent and started asking a owner.
Well, I should not say this but her English is well "japanaese",
well,
just like mine. I guess.
Why can I recognize her? Because I read her asahi.com articles time to time.
(Her pic on the side.)

The thing is, when I saw her my head or my reception all turn into japanese.
That's a strange sensation... :O

I found an English version.

Ok, he got a iWeb (from iLife package) to brush up his website. He made a site of files (HTML, js, css, images) and found some tool (Automator in MacOS) to upload these files even for 'beginners.'
It failed because Yahoo web hosting can't take a file with space in its name and iWeb made lots of them.

I made a "workflow" in Automator somehow to
* change the file name and foldernames (replacing space with underscore)
* update HTML file's URL (replacing %20 with underscore)
* update js file (for slide show, generated by iWeb) to change file names (to image) to the one without space.
* ftp to the web site automatically

Ok, somehow I made 3 of above 4 points with Perl script. Jeez, I haven't done this for long time.
It was so hard to remember how to use those. Especialy Perl is bit different than typical scripting..
Well, it was a good stimulation to my getting-old brain!!
