Email and Chat

3月

6日

Chat and Email are two communication medias that were created along with the internet. The main difference between the two is with the speed that they occur.

Chat is like having an actual conversation where one party says something and expects a reply in a couple of seconds. Email is more like sending ordinary snail mail where you write something and send it but expect a reply in anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

Another difference is that most often all outgoing and incoming email are stored both that your mailer and server where Chat communications are not stored in servers.

People are moving more toward chat now days than email. Does your company have chat system implemented?

Japanese (Hinoki) Cypress wood shavings has distinctive aroma. You can place it with cloths and put in the bath tab to give you a feeling of Japanese Hinoki Bath. This package is made by Japanese wood curving firm called NISIMOKU.

Retirement and Renewal

2月

28日

I am retiring my almost 6 year old Mac Mini Server.
When I take this machine off, I will be replacing 2 x 1TB disks to 1 x 500GB SDD.
This 6 year old Mac Mini has quad core 2.3 Ghz Intel i7 processor.
That is faster than any current Mac Mini which only comes with dual-core i5.

It will be a fun project.

AI vs Intelligent Programming

2月

27日

A lot of companies are claiming they have some AI technology behind their products. In many cases, they do not have AI. They may have a very complex and sophisticated computer program, but that is nit AI.

If you give certain question or request to a human, a human does react to it but not 100% same ways. So, you can say if so called AI does only what you expect it too do 100% of the time, it is an intelligent program but not an AI.

AI is simulating human ...that means it must be irrational.

Product Design and Development

Designing a software is little like Clay Target Shooting". You need to aim for where the target will be instead of where the target is. The only difference is that flat target shooting, the target moves in the predictable direction and predictable speed.

No More Private Desk or Office

The trend now is to have no office nor assigned desk at your workplace. You show up with your Laptop PC and find the seat and start working. I like that idea.

Not in Japan ... not in the US either.

Macy's Online
I cannot find 32 x 36 Levi's in the US either.

I saw a large advertisement for LEVI'S in Japan ... Look closely ... the wait is 32 and length 36 ... Who wears that size in Japan. Is this a joke or making fun of people?

Selling Products To and From Japan

2月

16日

For many Japanese companies, the US market is very far away. At the same time, for many US companies, Japanese market is not even in their mind. I think I can help both US and Japanese companies sell products both ways.

Ice Coffee

2月

15日

This is not Starbucks.

When I was going to school, Ice Coffee in Japan was a popular drink. But for years, you cannot get Iced Coffee in the US. Only when the espresso drinks became popular Iced Coffee became a norm.

Did you know that?

There was no decaf drip at Starbucks at Itami Airport. So I ordered Decaf Americano ... It was so weak, it was terrible. I returned it. They made on with less water and gave it to me ... I accepted it but I threw it away without letting people at the store know. They may know how to make coffee but they do not know to make good coffee. Especially Decaf.

PS: In Japan, people call Iced Coffee ... Ice Coffee.
