Garigarikun WIN !!

Garigarikun (ガリガリ君) is the most popular ice pop in Japan.  It is very inexpensive but delicious with a lottery.  I won at the first time while I had eaten over 50 ones in this summer !!  It is said that the winning rate is 1/32 (3%).

This stick can be bartered for another ice pop.

PowerPC Lubuntu kernel

When the new updates including kernel 3.13.0-35-powerpc-smp were installed, the bug appeared again.  I felt the kernel 3.13.0-33 and 3.13.0-34 were very stable.  So, the kernel was changed to 3.13.0-34 and it's working good.

SIM-unlocked softbank 007z part 3

Even if sim-unlocked and firm-updated, the connections to NTT Docomo of my softbank 007z are not stable.  According to 2ch, a softbank 007z supports Band9 (1.7GHz) and Band11 (1.5GHz) only, Band1 (2.1GHz) is not supported.  It also imformed that the modified 007z for BIZ firmware makes it possible to catch Band1 in exchange for unsupporting Bnad9 and Bnad11.

Change "SBMFAREN_JP_MF80" to "SBM_JP_MF80V1.0." by Binary editor and flash.

The connection to NTT Dococmo becomes very stable.  However, this is not recommended, as it is said that the restoration to original firmware is impossible.

Planex GW-US54SAG on windows7 64bit

Planex GW-US54SAG is not officially supported to windows7 and also 64bit vista.  To use on windows7 64bit, I tried some other drivers.

I downloaded Atheros AR5005UX and Windows Vista 64bit driver from the unoficcial Atheros Czech drivers site.

Then, I installed that driver and choosed the model as Allied telesyn AT-WCU201g Wireless USB Adapter.  Now, It works fine.  But this driver seems not to support the softAP mode. 

Eating loaches

Traditionally, loach is the stamina food of the summer as same as eel in Japan.  This is a pot dish of loaches at the Shibuya branch of Komagata Dozeu (駒形どぜう).  It matches a cold beer well.

Lubuntu 14.04 for PowerPC becomes stable ?

The first point release of ubuntu 14.04.1 was disclosed.  In original release of lubuntu 14.04, there were some troubles around Geforce 6600LE videocard on my PowerMac G5 (late 2005).  Especially, the bug of mouse cursor with noise often appeared and caused the kernel panic.

Although the yaboot parameter "video=ofonly nouveau.noaccel=1" was used, I didn't feel a remarkable change.  However, this bug seems to disappear after recent updates !?

Tunnel fire !?

The Tokyo metropolitan expressway sprays water-mist into Yamate Tunnel to prevent the tunnel temperature from rising (japanese).  Yesterday, it was very hot day.  I saw so much mist that I misunderstand the tunnel fire.
