Exciting Times
Here’s a quick (big) announcement: I’m parting ways with DotCloud and will join COOKPAD in February.
As for DotCloud, It’s been an interesting ride for me at 180 Sansome and I will definitely miss working with them, and wish the best luck at their challenge to be the best platform as a service. My last day at DotCloud is 1/31.
On February 1st, I will join COOKPAD, Inc. to...
Lumix DMC-GX1 JPEG settings
One of the problems I see with GX1 has been that the default JPEG output is so “flat” and it’s not my taste, especially when compared to the GF1. After a bunch of trial and errors, also with reviews on kakaku and 2ch, here’s something I came up with.
Feel free to cargo cult it, but don’t blame me for bad JPEG rendering because of that.
Mostly used with Summilux...

DMC-GX1 firmware update version 1.1 is available from the Panasonic website.
I applied the update this morning and it’s yet too early to judge if it actually got better, but i definitely see the differences.

チベットのラッパ犬
椎名誠の超常近未来アジア風SF小説最新作。舞台設定は直近のひとつ目女
に近い感じの近未来中国。武装島田倉庫あたりから続くこちら系が好きな人にはおすすめ。後半のペースダウンが残念。

Tell Your World on iTunes US Store →
Absolutely the best song ever by Hatsune Miku, produced by @kz_lt. If you haven’t, check out Google Chrome commercial featuring this song.
Thank you kz and TOY’S FACTORY for making it available on the iTunes US store. Now I can’t wait for the EP release in March that contains my fave songs such as Far Away, Star Story and Fly Out.
The JSON license →
I was looking at the acknowledgement screen of Apple TV today and found that the JSON license is there and includes the following text:
The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.
a) is this license (for JSON.org parser I assume) compatible to OSI? I guess not.
b) isn’t Apple doing anything evil? Who decides what is evil anyways?
Quick google search shows the same question on...

DB: Power Grid, by Rio Grande Games.
MA: Yeah, very good. The whole family enjoyed it. I think this is the first relatively complex game that … none of us knew how to play it and we learned it by reading instructions, not by like having somebody teach us..
DB: (laughter) I’m sorry, there’s a picture on the Amazon page where people can upload...

JG: It ended up that, just through Email, I have written mailing lists and stuff like that, I’ve written like three or four books worth of email. That’s why I feel like…
JT: Not a narrative though.
JG: No. Not like one single thing.
JT: People were like, “I don’t understand this email”
(laughter)
JG: Right.
JT: “Chapter 4”,...
Android phones suck
While I am a supporter of Android (been a user for almost 2 years now), I have to say that parislemon’s “Why I Hate Android” post has a point.
Nexus One was a great idea, although it was meant to fail when Google gave up Verizon and Sprint models in favor of Droid and EVO.
I’ve been using Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, running MIUI ROM with 2.3 Gingerbread. I like the...

UPDATE: I did more experiments with configuration tweaks.

台湾に行ってきた 3日目後半〜4日目
3日目のつづき
忠孝新生近くのカフェ MUCHO MUCHO に移動。
各席に電源もあってゆったりハックするには最適なカフェ。台北にはこういう感じのところが結構あっていい感じです。
数年前はこういうところは喫煙者も多くて大変だったんだけど、公共施設の室内は禁煙になる法律ができたので、それも解消。とはいえ、テラス席は喫煙可なのでそちらに近づくと若干煙かった。
直前になって連絡をとりあった Audrey, Gugod それと Chupei.pm の dryman と情報交換＆ハック。gugod は perlbrew の新バージョンのリリースとかしてた。
3時間ほどでカフェを後にし、台湾のアキバといわれる光華市場へ。
なんというか、中身はふつうにアキバのPCショップが並んでる感じ

台湾に行ってきた 3日目
３日目の朝は、MRT大橋頭駅まで歩いて行った途中にある朝市から。
平日の朝だというのに、すごい人ごみ。これを毎日やってるってんだから、すごいパワーだな。
台湾風ミックスお好み焼きを買ってみる。基本、観光客がこないようなところなので日本人と気付かれず、中国語で話しかけられまくり。わからなくても、なんとかなる。
卵がうまい。
このあたりも惹かれたけど、昼も近いのでセーブ
スローターハウスｗ
金物屋の店頭で見張る猫
MRTで忠孝新生駅へ移動。永康街の手前で東門市場に通りかかる。ここもすごい人出。
ここにも肉
抜けたところのCocoでタピオカミルクティーと抹茶アイスティー。なかなか美味。
ランチは永康牛肉麺で。地元の人にも人気。日本人観光客も何組かみかけた。
