No alcohol

Recently I find out my body really do not agree with alcohol.
So I decided not to drink at all.

Nobody

Have you ever met anyone who can not order at the restaurants?
Have you ever met anyone who can not tell what is his/her favorite song?
Have you ever met anyone who can not tell what is his/her preference in anythings?
Have you ever met anyone who can not enjoy watching sports?
I suppress my emotion to this extent, I can not see what I feel.
Only in the case, I feel extremely strong like explosion, I can feel.

My friends, gives me his favorite songs.
Now I am listening his favorite songs. This is not my favorite but his favorite. Now I am borrowing his favorite. I hope I can have mine someday.

Suggestion

I visited with my friends and I talked with him for hours.
He suggested me several things below.

Join Learn_Japanese forum.
http://learnjapanesepod.com/forum/
There people have a good community and he suggest me to join. I have seen them in real several time and I understand they are great.
Try volunteer work as a Japanese teacher
I have never teach Japanese however it might be enjoyable at the same time it will be helpful to others.
Business card
I should have a personal business card so that people can contact me. It is also really greeting. I am to organize cafe-meet-up. There I will deliver my new personal business cards.
Small note for cafe-meet-up
I will meet new people at the cafe-meet-up. I can ask people to write to me in my small note such as their contact and message to me. I will buy small pretty one for this.
Candy and chewing gum
My friends said I should carry candies always and give people. It would be a good ice break. He said he could have sex because of this small trick.
Think of the topic I can think of
It is nice to prepare some topic I can talk with people. Sometimes I can not really talk therefore I had better to prepare.
Don't argue , especially first time.
I often argue. It is not really nice.
Contact people more even if I do not like.
I am lazy and do not contact people. However if I want to have good community type of friendship, I should send e-mail to people more solidly. For example, when I met new people, I should send E-mail immediately after say good bye.

Cafe-meetup

I love cafe. There we can have nice conversation with friends over a cup of coffee. I love various type of cafes: small cozy inner cafe, cafe with terrace in sunny days, wild garden style cafe.
So I decided to have cafe meet-up. This will a series of meet-up if this first meet-up go well. I often think to be happy we do not need a lot of things.

Virtual Machine

Virtual Machine
This weekend, I tried VM first in my life.
Virtual machine is the thing you can have other OS on your OS.

For example, I am running Ubuntu OS on my computer. I wanted to have CentOS.
I only have one computer. What can I can do for this?!
I can have VM and run CentOS on Ubuntu.
If I want to have WndowsXP on Ubuntu, I can use VM again.
It is said that famous VM is below.
Xen
Vmware
Virtualbox

This time, I tried Vmware.

Book club

This month is the halloween month.
So my book club chose a murder mystery novel.
The story teller is a 15 year old boy who has Asperger’s Syndrome and live with his father.
The English itself is really easy to read.
The emotion of people around him is understandable and I feel warm and sad.

Synopsis from Amazon
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.

E-mobile on Ubuntu

I finally use e-mobile on Ubuntu.
It took a long time to make it possible. I check some web pages and tried their command however I could not fix it.
This time, I asked my friends to help me and finally I've to a internet life.
Here is the command I used.
#pppconfig
Connection name: emobile
Number: *99***1#
User: em@em
Password: replace_with_password
Speed:115200
Com: /dev/ttyUSB0
Method: PAP
To remove the device, /dev/ttyUSB0, I can use this command.
$ sudo modprobe -r uhci_hcd

To set up the device , I can use this command.
$ sudo modprobe uhci_hcd

To connect to the internet, I can use this command.
$ pon emobile

To cut the internet connection, I can use this command.
$ poff emobile

to test if I can get the internet access or not. I type this command.
#ping www.google.com

I do not want to do this every time when I connect to the ineternet, so I put shell command on the desktop. What I need is just clicking on the command shell icon on the desktop.
Here is the shell command file's content.

#!/bin/bash
sudo pon emobile


Here is the command fragmentations I still do not know however my fried used.
