Does it look very sunken?
It is one of those ships that moves pontoons around on Lake Washington.

KanjiWORD

KanjiWORD by Pacific Software Publishing, Inc.

KanjiWORD is one of the very first software package that PSPINC published in the US. This software enabled non Japanese version of Windows 3.1 to process Japanese text. That was back in 1993~1994 ... two years before PSPINC start its Internet hosting business.

The last technical support for KanjiWORD was just last year. One of the user lost the 3.5" installation diskette. We try to replace it but we realized that we did not have any computer in our company with disk drive. We needed to take one of the PSPINC display computer to duplicate the disk.

Only females do this.

I heard female re-enters a car when you start pumping the gas into a car. Most guys stay outside until it is done. That is the reason why people who drive a way with the gas nozzle attached are females.

It is not safe to reenter into a car while you are fueling according to this sign at Chevron Station.

I will be traveling to Japan from January 23 to February 6. I will be flying Delta from Seattle to Narita, Japan. I will be staying at Takanawa Prince Hotel Sakura Tower in Tokyo from January 30 to February 6.

I booked this hotel using online booking site. I think I got the room cheaper than any Japanese web site. I like this note because it is not a huge hotel but good location and easy access to the airport and railways.

Facebook Account vs Page

https://www.facebook.com/PacificSoftwarePublishing

Many small business owners have opened the Facebook accounts and use them to promote their business. I have done the same but I learned that is not how it should work. You create PAGE which looks and act like an Facebook Account to promote your business.

In my case, I own https://www.facebook.com/uchikura account. I use thios account to create following pages to promote my company and products.

https://www.facebook.com/Pspinc
https://www.facebook.com/PSPINCJP
https://www.facebook.com/PacificSoftwarePublishing
https://www.facebook.com/pspnewsmail

PAGES have more functions than the account. You get to see the traffic to your PAGES. You also can have multiple PAGES from your account. You can also assign other people to be the administrator of your PAGES.

If you have any question, please contact me or my company.
