Koganei Festival



I live in Kodaira City, Tokyo, Japan.
The nearest station is Musahi-Koganei, and it's
in Koganei City, neighbour of Kodaira.

Today, they seemed to have a festival around the station,
and I had to walk two bus stops . :(
But, everyone seemed to have a happy day, today.
I also enjoyed a little walk. :)

Debian/GNU kFreeBSD

Debian/GNU kFreeBSD

I tried 'debian-20060402-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso' on my VMWare box.
But, the only thing I got after installation was
"F1 FreeBSD" and beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Indeed Debian is a unique distribution becase multiple kernels are available,
they need more man power.

Me? :o
I want spare time.....

Kami gari 2

"Kami-gari 2 : Lipper" by Masaki Yamada.
ISBN 4-19-861990-5

Roughly speaking "Kami-gari" means "Hunting the God" or so.
It's about 18 years ago when I read "Kami-gari".
In those days, I felt the book was imcomplete.
This time, indeed description of the background world was improved and
there are many new ideas, but still I had the same feeling. :(

Banjo no Teki

"Banjo no Teki" by Kaoru Kitamura.

In English, the title means "Enemies on the board" (in a direct translation).
Kaoru Kitamura is one of very popular mystery authors in Japan.
The book is a bit different from other Kitamura's works, and I was a bit surprised.

The 2nd book of Lionboy series.

Blood Memory

"Blood Memory" by Greg Iles.
ISBN 4-4165-0780-9

Like his former work, "The Footprints of God", this is a very good work
but could be a bit tough story for some kind of readers because
child abuse is one of the most important theme of it.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
J.K. Rowling

ISBN-0 7475-8108-8

I bought this book on July 16, 2005.
But, I cannot remember when I finished that.
Anyway, it must have been in July or August, 2005.

BTW, I'm wrting this note on June 23, 2006.
It's about a year since the last book (this 6th book) was
released. I'm wondering when the last one will be available
and what sort of finale we can see.
That must be a tough work to the last book anyway.
