Gemini said "You don't necessarily need to use Kanji in your instructions. I can catch your point even if you write only in Hiragana." Whaaaat? Do you understand what I said even if I type instructions without Kanji? That means I don't hav…

I made it to Friday somehow. I'm now feeling a bit down about how little progress I have made with my English study. Yesterday, I tried using Copilot a little. I was annoyed right away by the fox that appeared in the top half of the window…

1Password's subscription fee is going up soon. It seems that they've decided to abandon their individual users. This was fairly big news, wasn't it? Around the Reddit community, looks like it's heavily under fire. According to their one-si…

It's raining. I'm not sure when it started. Yesterday, I got to bed in the early evening since I was so worn out at work. I could've sworn a certain data patch request for midnight arrived. However, I had neither HP nor MP to do that. Well…

I'm still working. This entry is an aggregate of venomous imprecations. Should this entry hurt your feelings, please don't hesitate to go back. When on earth will this damn work ever end? We don't offer 24/7 service like at a 24-hour conve…

I'm working despite the holiday on Sunday. Due to my absence, it turned out everything was messed up when I reported to work earlier. The migration procedure I'd checked was almost all altered. On top of that, there was an avalanche of ske…

Yesterday, I watched the 1st episode of "Emily in Paris". I was amazed that I surprisingly managed to understand what they were talking about. I guess the lines are just like that of the TOEIC exam because the story is based on business se…

There is nothing to write about. No matter how hard I struggle. This is a grave crisis for my diary. Umm, isn't there something to write about? Yesterday I went to Muji to buy an A5 binder for my diary. It seems that I can't fit six months…

It's Friday. For real? Oh, I almost forgot my paid day off is carved on my schedule. I was about to report to work. It was close. Nicely using up paid days off is one of the tasks I have to do as a decent businessman. It might seem as thou…

Just before I called it a day, I could've sworn a kinda urgent request was crammed into my mailbox. It must've been my imagination. I don't give a shit. I'm sure someone upright will deal with it. Let's dump something trivial like work. It…

As blatantly as I've been writing tons of criticism in my diary to satisfy myself, it was just practice in English. Full disclosure, the previous sentence is a lie. I encountered a difficult sentence yesterday. So I tried to mimic it here.…

Due to my restriction on watching Japan's damn news, I'm not sure about the current news in Japan at all. Even with the weather, I need to feel out the real atmosphere firsthand. Recently it isn't cold, is it? What about the Nikkei average…

There is no content to write about in my diary. That's because I don't have any news sources. Now that I've ditched dratted Yahoo Japan, there is no source to criticize. I have no choice but to check Yahoo.com. In North America, the Nancy …

Today, I'll describe how feature-rich the Redux PCB is. Mind you, Redux is one of the PCBs for a 60% keyboard. At first, I thought I needed dedicated arrow keys at the bottom right of the keyboard, but now that I've gotten used to an ANSI …

I'm in the thick of an all-night shift. Now that this damn failure constantly happens, I'm getting used to dealing with an all-night shift about once a week. I'm wondering if I should go take a bath at a spa tomorrow morning. Thanks to add…

I pulled off another tough week, finally reaching Friday. Unfortunately, I'll be under a grueling all-night shift schedule tonight. I think Audible Premium, which as you know is one of Amazon's services, is rather pricey. I wouldn't be abl…

I have to make more efforts than before to master English. I already know all too well that I shouldn't check damn Yahoo headlines. They're nothing but useless news what with vulgar entertainment news, someone's infidelity, and blah blah b…

What a setback this score is. This time I got 795 points on my latest TOEIC result. The breakdown was that the listening section was 415, while the reading section was 380. Granted, this time my reading skills seem to have improved compare…

It's likely to rain starting today. Does that mean it'll be warm? Tomorrow it'll be a holiday. What holiday is that? Let's see, it's, umm, Japanese Independence Day? No, no, no, according to Google, it's called "National Foundation Day" in…

It's snowing so heavily. I wonder how long it's been since downtown Hiroshima had snowfall like this. Yesterday, I went to a public bath near my house. That place had a nostalgic mood like the Showa era. Unfortunately, there was no one wit…

Good morning. It's so freezing, isn't it? I've read 70% of Harry Potter. The Quidditch match against Hufflepuff anticlimactically ended in a flash. I think the rules for Quidditch must be updated. Honestly, all players should seek the Snit…

It seems that the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics took place in Milan. I wasn't aware of it. It's time something like Netflix covered the Olympic Games. That's because I don't have any TV tuners even though I have so many monitors.…

I somehow made it to Friday. I wonder how many times Fridays have come since this year broke loose. This week I fortunately managed to avoid having that all-nighter. In other words, some people who have virtuous souls will be sacrificed on…

I'm planning to be off tomorrow. After going to the dermatologist, I'll go vote for our future. You might wonder why I'm going to the dermatologist. It's just because I'm getting older. My whole body gets itchy before I go to bed. It's bec…

Ahh, there isn't any stuff to write about. I wonder how many times I've written similar sentences in my diary until now. Strange calls have been coming in. All of them are surveys about the upcoming Lower House Election. Of course, I alrea…

The repair work for the water pipe has been completed. I appreciate his work. His work deserves to be praised as professional. How wonderful using a faucet normally is. That's exactly what the famous saying says, "Don't take it for granted…

Lately, I've been watching movies without English subtitles. Of course, I can hardly catch the lines. But I find it somehow different than before. To be precise, it seemed like I was able to catch 20% of them. If I watch movies with subtit…

The spa was nice. Actually, it's been a while since my Body Battery score (shown by my Garmin Watch) went over 90%. Unlike public bath spaces, typical spas have amenities such as shampoo, rinse, and body soap. However, both have the same p…
