A little about myself.

I also contribute articles to IT magazines about Open Source Software as a core member of Japan Apache Users Group. I've been in computer related fields from 1978. starting in college, nuclear physics major, I had to take a class in FORTRAN and that was it, I was hooked on the machines. I started working first as an application programmar at a system development company. Then moved on to a system integration company, and specializing in data communication, small & mid size systems. I run a small intranet at home, a router, Windows Servers, Windows Desktops and CentOS Linux . The Linux runs DNS, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and POP3 making it nice for software testing and development.

The 24th Mt. Takao Hike

24th Mt. Takao to Mt. Jimba trail in all, and 3rd this year.

As you know, we had a snow last Monday and I thought the snow left a bit the trail. But no a bit, over 30 centimeter deep or nearly 50 centimeter deep somewhere. This is a exactly snow-covered mountain! It was my first experience.

The panoramic view below from the top of Mt. Jimba was really amazing as always. Tea-houses at the top of Mt. Jimba were closed, but not a few hikers were there. I guessed they wanted to see and feel snow-covered mountain.

I made a cup of instant miso soup there, only poured into hot water. I really enjoyed it.
