If anyone uses LimeSurvey, I need help. When creating a new survey in LimeSurvey (LimeSurvey Cloud 6.15.4) and setting a participant list with access codes for each participant, entering an access code is not required after activated. Instead, it's possible to proceed. Does anyone know it?

Soon after getting back to Japan, I am already tired of seeing that xenophobic discourses, including much misinformation, are gathering public attention in the campaign of the July election for the House of Councilors in Japan's Diet.

At Doha for the transfer to Narita, I got an assorted dates box. It looks so tasty. Probably coffee matches dates!

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

It's too hot in the aircraft. I have never had such a lovely flight!

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

See you, Morocco. A very exciting trip in Africa for the first time! Now, I will have a long flight to Tokyo.

One of my talks done today. I enjoyed a small lunch and chatting with my research folks. I will have another presentation tomorrow.

Good morning, Rabat. I have gotten refreshed.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

Finally checking in. It was a long long journey from Tokyo to Rabat. I am about to dose off, but I got to make an on-demand video instead of skipping classes during my business trip.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

I could have a good sleep. In the aircraft, Starlink is available for free even in the economic cabin. I guess Qatar airways makes a great amount of benefit.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

I just boarded a flight to Doha from Narita. My final destination is Casablanca, Morocco, to participate in the 5th ISA Forum of Sociology. I wish for a pleasant journey!

Soon after a small nap, I'm surprised to see breaking news on skynews and Al Jazeera that the US stroked on Iranian nuclear sites. How justified and constitutional? Also, given the history, even the US will get involved in turmoil.

After a meeting, I was walking to Ikebukuro from my flat. Using a parasol protected me from being exposed to the beating Sunshine. I couldn't find my things at several shops, so I ended up ordering some items through Amazon.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I'm gonna visit Rabat to participate in the Forum of Sociology of the international sociological association. Not only scholarly discussions and networking, I am also wondering about lovely local foods.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

I have almost shaken off my cold longing since last weekend. To refresh myself, I stopped working and jogged around my flat under the terribly hot weather in Tokyo.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

How sophisticated non-alcoholic beer is!

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

I am waiting for a connecting flight to Haneda, Tokyo. It looks very hot outside in Hong Kong today.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Overhead compartment war begins in the aircraft. I do not take my one onboard, but I trust the luggage handling by Cathay Pacific!

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

One week business trip in the UK is about to come to an end. Unlike the first time visit when I was a graduate student in 2013, I felt relaxed while staying. In 2013, it was the first time to present my study alone in an intl conference, and I didn't have time to enjoy the city. How time flies!

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

I am very lucky to have a chance to meet my old friend in London. My trip this time completely done!

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

Every business of my business trip to the UK has completed. To refresh, I was jogging around Regent's Park. I enjoyed the beautiful park and roses. After exercise, I headed for St Pancras and got some souvenirs. My late lunch are sushi and salad. I am now wondering if I should go eating dinner.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Morning sightseeing jog in London. It was fun!

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Because it is not dark even at night in the UK, I feel I should still be awake though I am already sleepy.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

ChatGPT returned an image of my photo while running today in London. It looks much younger than I expected. Haha...

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

London jog! A lovely refreshment. I am now good to go working.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Morning jog in Bristol. I got a light shower while running.

010

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

After just checking in my luggage, I was hanging around Bristol. I found some good beer places.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Hello, UK! I will take a bus heading for Bristol shortly.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Staying for the transit to London. I tried another Dan Dan noodle in HK. Delicious!

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Now flying to the UK via Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific. It has been 12 years since the last time I visited there. Already thrilled.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Refresh run after coming back home. Hydrangea is gradually blooming.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Good morning from Tokyo. To avoid a rush hour in the trains, I am heading for the campus on Wednesday.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Drawing a shoe in the morning run today.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

After the rain was up, I was jogging on a different course from my usual one. Running in a fresh way was interesting. Cleaning my flat is my routine on Sundays, and then, I did grocery shopping. The somen season has come this year. it is a kinda noodles made of wheat and popular in Japan's summer.

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

I love good stationary. Kokuyo WP roller ball is the best of pens which I have ever tried. Gripping and writing texture are both good, and the ink colour looks lovely as well. Do you have your favourite stationary?

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Hanging around Ginza and Hibiya. Many international tourists visited a famous stationary store, Itoya. I have no exact idea about why they are interested in stationary. It seems like a variety of pens, notepads, etc., looks interesting to them. Also, I feel Japanese stationery is convenient to use.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Good morning from Tokyo. Although I didn't feel so well, I made a run at a slower pace this morning than yesterday. Having said that, running always makes me refreshed. Have a lovely day, folks.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

Nonalcoholic beer and fried snacks for refreshment. Nonalcoholic beer was not so good about 10 yrs ago, but now, both the taste and flavour are very nice. The price is also surprising; 88 JPY per a can. The snack in the photo is the fractions of corn dogs (maybe they don't make corn dogs actually).

Trump Administration Says It Is Halting Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International Students www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u... The first thing I read soon after having woken up this morning. I cannot say but this news is insane.

Evening sky in Tokyo. I am good to go back home for now.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Good morning. The high temperature will be lower than yesterday, but I feel the humidity is worse. Anyway, tidy up a pile of my work!

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I feel France24 sometimes produces a program focusing on Japan as for social and cultural topics. The video game 'Exit 8' is introduced this time. I suspect some staff are Japanese geeks.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

If anyone in bsky uses LimeSurvey, how do you feel about the new editor? Is it better to use than the classic version? Just it depends?

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Just back to my office. I just took a seat for the first time after having gone out today. After a small break, I will teach a class for graduate students.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Iced coffee before teaching. It is very hot in Tokyo. Stay safe.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Run before getting hot today. Be mindful to be hydrated under the hot weather.

000

Kenji Ishida @ishidak85.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

My work today is done! No, terminated actually. I am now good to be relaxed. In Tokyo, high temperature tomorrow is going to be 30 Celsius. No long sleeve shirt and trousers!
