A Business Meeting

Today, I had a meeting with a former colleague of mine.

Actually, he was my boss about 3 years ago, and both of us are now working for different companies from the one which we both worked for together.
Actually, it's often said that my employer and his employer are competing each other, but I think today we had very much constructive discussion. Granted that it's not clear the business could be put into practice at this moment, but I'm looking forward to working together with him. :)

Anyway, I have to hurry up my current work improving quality of a software related to cloud computing. That's the key factor, actually. :o

This RFC proposes a new TCP option to denote packet mood. :o

I like it. :)

Cherry blossoms and a farewell

My wife's grand father past away in Izumo today, and I'll be there tomorrow to attend at the funeral ceremony. If I remember correctly, he was 95 years old.

Spring is the season of cherry blossoms as well as the farewell season.
The cousin of mine whose one year anniversary ceremony I attended at last week also left this life in this season of cherry blossoms. As a typical Japanese, I'm feeling something from the fact they departed in the season...

Anyway, I wanted to take my daughter to Izumo to see him before hearing the news...
