Ok I think I finally got Plexamp to work again on my cellular data. With the old router it just worked. I have the new router setup as access point and port forwarding setup on the modem.

Plex on the AppleTV has decided to show only one server (computer) and says the other is unavailable. Plex has only been getting more frustrating to use recently.

Ok, time to get serious about clearing things out. This Mamiya 6 is a lot of fun. Let's call it USD $125, shipping included anywhere in the world. It's always worked great for me, but sold as-is given the age. Happy to answer any questions.

Was woken up by the earthquake earlier this morning. My first thought was, “no earthquake alarm?” Then I went back to sleep.

Foreign residents packed Tokyo’s main immigration office Monday, facing waits of as long as 7½ hours as applicants rushed to complete procedures before steep increases in residency fees take effect this week. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09...

Tokyo immigration bureau swamped ahead of residency fee hikes

Visa applicants faced waits of over seven hours at the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau, just days before permanent residency fees rise twentyfold.

And more rain. On the bright side 😉, Thursday and Friday is only calling for rain in the early morning hours. Sunday looks like it may rain late at night.

One day work week is done. First and only class was at 9am. Had 17/30 students in class. Honestly that’s more than I was expecting.

Why does Japan cook most of its wild salmon? A Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Public Health survey of 27 wild Japanese salmon found Anisakis (parasitic nematodes) in every single one. The fish averaged 22 worms each, with one fish containing 161.

Curious why there are two names for salmon in Japanese? There's an interesting historical (and scientific!) reason behind that.

Today’s outing was almost 13,000 steps at 9.6km. It was a small mountain with many other people on it. However it was the smallest’s first climb without any support.

This way but do we take the men’s or women’s path? Women’s because it is “easier”.

Saved this from going to electronic waste. Powers on and buttons seem to work. A bit scratched up and dirty. The white DS model shows dirt a lot though.

When I was in the Ikebukuro One Piece store the other week, I saw a disposable camera with a One Piece paper cover. Would have been cool if the film was pre-exposed with characters on the film. Or if it was like that Star Wars Ep1 camera with superimposed characters.

Been rocking a 2018 (purchased in 2020) Mac Mini for the last six years. It has worked well in this time. Doing everything we needed it to do. Maybe it is time to think about upgrading to the newer M models.

The Japanese Communist Party (JCP) has a few young people out holding signs. I usually only see older people doing this for any party.

I’m going to guess there was a spike in city water usage today. First nice day in awhile so people got their laundry out to dry. We will have more rain coming tomorrow and later this week.

Biking 24km with an electric assisted bicycle is hard. The bike is so big and heavy. I only used the battery on steep inclines and the last little bit since I was tired. However, the two boys did great biking that distance.

This pisses me off. Who made Kawagoe attractive to tourists? Who opened a lot of souvenirs, restaurants and food stalls FOR tourists? Who is promoting Kawagoe on Tokyo trains? And who DID NOT anticipate how crowded it could become and the lack of garbage disposal? Hmm? Hmm? youtu.be/30BGrcO7ziY?...
