Number of People Studying Abroad

Jul

22

This chart shows number of people studying abroad. Japan is not even in the top 10. Korea with half the population of Japan ranked No. 3. China and India are ranked No.1 and 2.

What is this chart telling you? I have my own interpretation, but I would like to hear what you think.

City of Bellevue Parks and Trail System

Jul

21

This city has one of the best parks and trap system that I can use with my dogs. It's all so green and well kept. Other than a few homeless living in the park, it is very clean. I pick up trash and beer cans when I see them.

Taking Care of Three Dogs

Jul

Mayumi is on business trip to California, so I get to keep Tiny and Nano on top of Pompom. Timmy seems to be happy but Nano is little confused. I guess she will be fine.

Homeless Problem

Jul

20

Not all homeless people are same. Some tried very hard but never got any break. But there are other homeless people who choose the homeless life. No matter what the reason is, I see no reason for homeless people to just dump trash and garbage.

I think city or someone should start cleaning up the mess (not people, just trash and garbages). I pick up trash and cans in the park I walk every morning but I do not want clean the parking lot next to the park. (As you seen in the picture)

Gifts for May Parents

I am planning to give item locators as a gift for may parents. They are always misplacing their keys, cellular phones, glasses, wallets ... This may give them little comfort.

Indian Food

Jul

Good Variety

Because there is Microsoft and many engineers from India ... we have good selection of Indian food. May be because I had Indian room-mate during my college years, I ate Indian food a lot. So, I am used to it.

I think it is a good value for $11 ~ $12 ($15 ~ $16 with Tax and Tip). I try not to eat too much carbohydrates, I eat no rice. But today, this restaurant had Dosa ... I had to have one.

What is Dosa ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosa

言うまでもなくマイクロソフトの本社には多くのエンジニアがインドから来ています。そのおかげで私の会社の近くには沢山のインド料理やさんがあります。大学時代インド人のルームメイトがいたからか、毎日カレー（カレーみたいなもの）を食べていたせいもあって、インド料理は大好きなんです。

インド料理はお昼ビュッフェ（食べ放題）スタイルがほとんど。お店によって少し味が違います。だいたい $11 ~ $12 で食べられますが、Tax + Tip で $15 ~ $16 になってしまいます。日本みたいに安いランチはないですね〜〜〜

私は今できるだけ炭水化物を食べないようにしていますが、今日はこの店のお自慢のドーサを食べてしまいました。薄っぺらいからいいか。。。

Phishing-Scam-Virus Email

Jul

17

I don't have Capital One account.

I receive several emails pretending to be financial institutions. Most of the are what we called phishing email. It is trying to fool you to give up your user name and password. So, be very careful.

What is Phishing?

Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

Cloud is Good for Some Application but Not for Everything!

Jul

Picture of Our Backup / Failover Datacenter in Bellevue, Washington.

If you have an Intranet Application. it may not be a bad idea to utilize cloud infrastructures like AWS and AZURE. But if you are running an Internet Hosting Business like we do, doing it on the cloud does not make sense for many reasons.

(1) It will be harder to control the cost.
(2) We cannot always diagnose and fix problem remotely.
(3) 100% contro over the hardware is not possible on cloud.
(4) When something goes wrong, we have no way of fixing the problem or diagnose the problem.

For those reason, PSPinc hosts 40,000+ clients servers on our hardware at our datacenter in Seattle.
