About the author

I'm a freelance sci/tech writer and very bad doctoral student studying semiconductor nano processes.

-Books

I had written 3 books, and I describe about 1 book which is in print now.

"ABC of computer hardware for embedded software engineers"
(組込みソフトウェアエンジニアのためのハードウェア入門)

This book is written by 3 authors including me. We described about hardware construction, handling and treating of equipments, curcuit design on FPGA, measurement, how to use oscilloscope.
After 3.11 quake, I released free a part of this book about measurement "Can you be proud of that you are familiar to measurement equipments ?" for people who are anxious about radiation from Fukushima nuc plants.


"Linux 2.6 for Enterprise systems" (2005)

"How to construct a secure internet server on RedHat 8" (2003)

-Articles
I had written a lot of magazine artilcles.
From recently work, I will show some of them on the web.

"Cats may understand this the simplest ABC to be a microcomputer engineer" (in Japanese)

Part 1: A first electronic circuit
Part 2: A first assembler
Part 3: A first mechatronics


The below are written about the supportive engineers after the quake(in Japanese).

"Let's support the North Japan area damaged by the quake, on cloud
computing and Android"


"Let's think about what we can do just now, considering the difference of the damaged area and not damaged area"

"Although we finished some applications that support the damaged people, many propositions are remaining"

Spiritual strength will overcome radioactivity?

Several days ago, I found posters by volunteer probation officers near from Nakano station, Nakano, Tokyo.


Top: "Movement to create a bright society"
Right; "We agree to society where everyone can start over"


Left: "Don't be scared by quakes, tsunamis and the danger of radioactivity, make this Japanese society bright"


I think it is impossible for human to survive against radioactivities even if we are spiritually very strong.

Scared, escaped and adjusted

These are pictures at meat corners of a supermarket in Suginami, Tokyo, Jul.20, 2011.
Good domestic beef meet sold at the half of usual prices.





In Jul.09, it was broadcasted that radioactive cecium was detected from beaf meat produced in Fukushima prefecture. And in Jul.14, radioactive cecium wes detected from beef meet produced in wide area of Japan. Because radioactive polluted rice straw was diffused to about all areas of Japan, so beefs which ate them were polluted. People in Japan became to hate to buy and eat beef meat. So the supermarket forced to cut down the price of beef meet.
In Jul.23, I saw very few amount of beef meats. I couldn't take the picture, but racks of beef meats were empty. It seemed so cold.

And now, most of supermarkets are selling beef meat as useal. Looking closer, we can find the beaf meat corners are scale-downed, so it seems not empty. The supermarkets are saying all of meats were surveyed and they are not radioactive polluted. We have to believe that, because we, ordinary Japanese have no way to test that the meats are radioactively polluted or not.
Japanese eat not so large amount of beaf meat, and we were not so threaten by radioactive polluted beaf meat which were found early July. Now we are considering that there are no safe beef meet in Japan, and have adjusted ourselves to slightly radioactive polluted foods.
