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.

Mt. Jimba to Mt. Shoto trail

Everybody who like hiking have their favorite trails. One of mines is Mt. Takao to Mt. Jimba trail. I went to there about 20 times last year. But the trail is becoming very popular lately, especially after Mt. Takao won the three stars of Michelin's travel guide. You must be really surprised to get there in weekend. They say Mt. Takao is one of the most crowded mountain in the world.
Actually, about three million people visit Mt. Takao a year.

I go to Fujino Station from Hachioji Statin at 6 o'clock Saturday, and begin to walk to Mt. Jimba. The panoramic view from the top is really amazing.

Then, I go to Mt. Shoto through some mountain tops. It is very tough but good exercise for me. Yes, Mt. Jimba to Mt. Shoto train is my favorite trail now.
