thailand floods 2011



near completion- wired most of the address bus and control lines. one more chip was added which is used to provide delay for the /DTACK line. maybe works without delay but I am not too sure about that.

there is much activity since then.
I have visited Netherlands for holiday.

And I use new webhosting provider.
It is http://bba.hitechworld.org,

My fansite http://yuu.mtfujitown.info is "suspended" but you can see for yourself.



Nobody Knows is a 2004 movie by Yagira Yuya.
I did not watch it for maybe half a year now.
But I have added a new cover for the case.
It is totally unrelated, and was not created for this purpose.
It was not created for any purpose.
I figured out it fits into the case actually.



The cheapest perfume I was able to find for quite a long while. Not even 2 Euro no just 99 cents. But it is not really a complex fragrance. Cigarettes also cheap only 1/3 of regular price. And chinese takeaway foods.

i made paper stencil (mask for spray paint).
it is BEYBLADE manga book.



50 LEDs matrix that I built recently.
I like the way it looks.


indoor snapdragon posted by (C)tetsu-jp

snapdragon plant and strawberry plant.
both grown from seeds.

I tried Twitter recently.
But I am not sure about it.
It's too limited. More designed for mobile devices!

I am not a big fan of mobile devices.
for instance, the file system is often locked.
And they make choices for people...
More, so-called "App" is often of little use.

I think if I want to use computer, I do this using a home PC, or I go to internet cafe. No seriously I do not want to buy any mobile device in the foreseeable future.

When I buy a phone, I just want a phone.
When I buy a digital camera, I just want a digital camera!

I do not want a walkman or radio or LCD game.

Sure...I have a SONY Ericcson that can upload pictures directly to web. But it costs money, and the quality is low. I almost never use it.

PIC programmer posted by (C)tetsu-jp

The PIC programmer construction was now completed.
First test run!
There is a lot of work to program the firmware.
And Windows software.

It is amazing, a big nest of wires!

the PIC programmer posted by (C)tetsu-jp

There are many ready-made programmers available.
However, I build circuits with 2 or more microcontrollers.
The commercial programmer that I use always must reload firmware!
This takes one or two minutes.
So I build a secondary programmer!

2011 - bionic computer!
this year, i build many CFL systems.
added 8 more lamps today! must be 500 or 600 watts now.
more than 100 metres wire!
the main supply wire heats up a little (30 degrees).
it is just noticeable.

J.P. CHENET ROUGE posted by (C)tetsu-jp

So what makes you drink red wine?
When you previously have been opposed to alcohol?

1. I saw someone on the internet drinking red wine.
It was just a photo of the wine glass.
I read the blog, and it does not really look "drunk".

I still promote that it is not a good thing to begin with for youths.
If one becomes 30 years old maybe it can be appreciate.

2. I smoked some marijuana weed, and then I also tried it together with french red wine. Indeed I am currently very unhappy. So drinking helps me a little to have a good time.

Indeed I do not really care anymore. When I try Whiskey or Captain Morgan (rum), I can only manage 1/3 to 1/2 bottle at best, and even so, I get terrible pain in the head the next day.

Even if I like the taste, I almost never drink hard alcohol. Maybe once a year.

Beer is too much proletarian. people in the streets drink beer. and people who goto bars. I can do it, but I do not really like it.

So I spend some time with french wines,

J.P. Chenet, Italian Chianti, and also I tried wine from Chile.

It is considerable how much effort they put into it:

-the right temperature
-many details about how it is grown and matured
-there is often a cork bottle (however it also has twist cap and tetra pack)
-There is a whole science of which foods would harmonize. however, I do not really have any of these foods.

OK when I try tetra pack wine from Spain, it is different taste than J.P. Chenet
But you guess that right?

Miracle Grow fertilizer. It is very concentrated so it must be diluted.


young strawberry plants posted by (C)tetsu-jp

strawberry plants. before the WW2 it had a double meaning in Japan. But I think it has become out of fashion. Even if crude variations still continue to exist. However I do not think it is special to Japan. It can be found spread all over the world if you really look. But at the time of WW2 these powers were corrupted to a great deal.

Now the LED matrix! it is powered by a $1 microcontroller. It is new model! It is good! I examined the documentation. I coded the western charset a few days ago.

But I am not sure about scroll message content.

That is all for today. I often write on HATENA now.

pineapple plant posted by (C)tetsu-jp

it should have a bigger pot, and fresh soil. however, i do not have space available, except when i build an open CFL system. the plant is more than 2 years old now! they do not grow so fast here, outdoors, it was only growing very slowly, even in the summertime.

it improved a lot under CFL light! so i added another 84 watts panel today, installed it, but did not connect the wire.

it can be quite dangerous for people who do not know electricity- we have 230 volts here in Europe. however, recently I exchanged all the wires, removed burnt out bulbs, and there is active cooling now. absolutely no risk of fire, even the plastic baskets do not get much hotter than 40 degrees.

without cooling, i had leaves burning sometimes last year, when they touched the plastic boxes. before of that, i even used CFLs without boxes!

all these systems completely designed by myself, no book or website was used for information.

they perform quite good now, that I have added a fan for cooling! more powerful lamps can be used, and more lamps can be built into one basket. it is the first time that i have built 4x 21 watts CFLs into one basket.

i would like to have a small room just for the plants or a big wardrobe!

it is a very interesting hobby after all, that I think, developed because the garden that the children in "Nobody Knows" made. Not sure if there is any intentional reference to "weed"...

new dc/dc converter PCB posted by (C)tetsu-jp

it always takes some weeks from giving PCB order, until it is manufactured, and until it arrives. The company is located in Thailand however I think they make the PCBs in Hong Kong.

Paid about $100.

And assembled a few PCBs. New small SMD LED- high efficiency! means it does not meed much power. There are also chips to do that- to step up voltage!

Now small circuits can work from 1.2 volts battery, just one battery, and do not need 9 volts battery anymore. they do not last long, and they are expensive!

There are also new chips to do the same thing...


dcdc converter IC test circuit posted by (C)tetsu-jp

here one test circuit which is using a step up IC.
However, my transistor circuit also can generate 12 volts for instance- the IC can not do this.


the 40 cents microcontroller posted by (C)tetsu-jp

small microcontrollers which just cost 40 cents each! well they do not have large memory, just 512 steps, and small 25 bytes RAM.


solar powered LCD clock posted by (C)tetsu-jp

wired up my solar LCD clock again- improved the panel! it is now running all the time on my desktop, gets light from small 6 watts CFL.


under the sink... posted by (C)tetsu-jp

small garden under the sink! CFL powered! in the winter time, plants do not grow properly, and maybe they would even die. here they can grow! just 2 CFLs do not get very hot.

that's all for today...

OK I made a new photo of myself:

and you know in the western countries there are strange buildings called a "church"? inside the buildings you can find a model of a person nailed to a cross! They say, if you believe this, you could be "saved"! and you could eventually go to "heaven"!

I mean, strange, what is "heaven"? do they own it inside the church, or do they control access to it? and why only dead people can go there?

Something else...egypt's pyramids, pharaos, and daily life. they had many pharaos, not just one, and not nailed to a cross. Well they died too yes, and they built them big pyramids. then at one time, it all collapsed. more than 2000 years ago already.

the egypts for instance believe, if you kill a person, in a future life, you must repay, and the same person eventually gets reborn, and then kills you! life never ends according to their belief, only our bodies die.

so it is wrong and cheap, people go to christian church, and think they could get away so easily...and it is against life, somehow? I think egypt is more pro-life.

Life is so short and dead will occur soon enough, so why think all day how it would be to "go to heaven". If you are born in a western country, this christian religion is everywhere, in the school, the parents often have something to do with it, and buildings in every city.

maybe it will vanish like egypt once vanished. nothing is forever or is it? it only seems to be forever because our lifes are so short.


calendar for january posted by (C)tetsu-jp

maybe he could be Egypt Pharao. I mean it is up to him what he is doing with his remaining lifetime and future life. A pharao is not the same as a king for instance. In Egypt, they had many different ones at the same time, it is just the memory on the less important ones has simply vanished.

and the ordinary people simply have been slaves, they had to work all day, lived 40 years at best. so... was it really a good society? maybe better than christianity, where people are constantly unhappy, and they must feel guilty all day.

So how did Egypt vanish exactly? Well I can not really print it however one thing for instance was alcohol, and parties. They had more and more parties, over months every year, and soon it all collapsed. If you do not like the greeks you could say, it is because of the greeks who invaded, but I am not sure if it is the complete truth. Sure the style of the artwork changed considerably. However, also greeks are different- their weak point was they all competed with each other! they had 20 or more cities, and wars all the time. So they vanished too...not before however, coming to egypt.

I think Egypt vanished because it became impossible to control it, as people became more and more, and the borders are stretched out so much. So how do i know all this? Well playing Age of Empires maybe...quite educational, videogames, much better than school or to read complicate encyclopedia books.

I played Children of the Nile maybe two years ago...just after some months it became boring.

I hope when I am together with people, they remain interesting for a long time, not just a few months. Indeed I do not have these kind of relationships, new people every few months, and just to abandon the people from last year.
