I've been listening to two parts of news programs. One is BBC news which deals with the situation of Iraq and the raising of the oil price, recorded on September 29. The other is Bloomberg news which has the story of the election of US president and some economical matters. Both was recorded in an internet radio. The quality of sounds of the latter seems to be better than the other one even though the recording condition is same.
Finally, I bought RIO SU10. I've been using it for a week. I usually listen at some music and news in English while commuting.
I've recorded a BBC news program by my PC last night. It was about 20 minutes broadcast and WMA file size was 12 MB.
I'm going to buy a silicon audio player, RIO SU10. It's the cheapest one. It costs under \10,000.
Then I'll listen to internet radio in English using it. Today, I've installed a HDD recorder program in my PC to make some WMA files for listening.
I got up very early and went to my office before 8:00 am.
I've fogotten writing this diary long time. I made a presentation for our boss to put our plan and get some money. It was a difficult job for me. And I made a poster-form presentation which was almost same as the former. I'm going to go to Takatsuki site of our company to make the same presentation this Friday. It must be the first time to visit Takatsuki, Osaka. Because it wasn't our company before the merger.
G.W. has ended and today was the first day of the working. I'm sleepy because my mind and body is still in the vacation.
Last night, I tried to read a 8cm DVD-R by my DVDcamcorder but could not.
Then I looked for some information about it in Internet and found a news from the DVD-R maker which is written about a serious trouble in fabrication of the DVD-R. They said the DVD-R might damaged by their packaging material and then could not read.
I've got angry and confused. But I remembered my parents should have a backup of the DVD-R.
G.W. will come soon. I'm going to my parents' house and have some plans there.
I really caught a cold. Or something wrong like an allergy. I got some medicine for headache, and then I feel good.
I got up very early in the morning. I still have felt something wrong with my throat, so I got some medicine.
Last night, I saw a column on a newspaper which described about a paper about writing in English and its author who won the Novel prize of Physics last year. It seemed that the paper was usable for writing in English especially for scientific subjects.
Then, I looked for the original paper but I only remembered little knowledge about it, so I managed to find it. But I did it.
The title of the paper is as follows.
"Notes on the Writing of scientific English for Japanese Physicist" Anthony J. Legget: Butsuri vol.21 791-805 (1966)
I completed a videogame this morning. It was a role-playing game and I've played it about three years! Now I'm looking for new one. I might need three or four years for playing it...
Our boss presented us our half-yearly action plan.
I guess I'll have a cold, because I feel something wrong with my throat.
I attended a meeting with staff members of the worker's union. They told us about new system of personnel affairs and disscussed about it. Our company just merged with the other company, so they have a lot of problem.
I bought a book that revealed the secrets in "24", but it wasn't better than the similar book like "The Blair Witch Project". I'm going to sell it after I complete reading.
I've just watched the last story of "24" this morning. It was fun. I'm going to watch "24 season 2" in the near future.
It's been clouded and cold this two days. And It's going to rain this afternoon.
Today was a cold day. I attended a long meeting for a pretty difficult subject. The problem wasn't clear, so the people who attended the meeting have got tired.
Last Friday, I went to a big exhibition of medical imaging. Our company exhibited a new system which is introduced in newspapers, so many guests visited our booth and it was crowded.
On the way to Pasifico Yokohama, where the exhibition was held, I rode on Minato-Mirai line at first.
I made presentation material all day. I'm going to attend a meeting after 5 p.m.
I wrote e-mail in English as follows and sent it for amanresorts.

Today, I got an invitation from orkut. I've read something about it. I've been interested in it, so I've just joined orkut.
After work, I had enough spare time. It was rare for me recently. I enjoyed watching videos of "24" for 6 hours until 0:30 a.m.! And then, I remembered it was the time for "24" broadcasting, so I watched them until 4:00 a.m......
I'm looking for new themes in my work these days. It includes some difficult problems, so I'm tired from it.
I'm interested in a TV program "24". I enjoy watching it in my home. It's a popular TV drama in which every episodes proceeds in real time.
There were a lot of freshmen. Trains were crowded by them.
Today was the last day of an accounting period, so I had to deal with some vouchers. I don't like these bussiness matters.
March is the month when a lot of meetings of scientific society are held.
I've attended two meetings in the last 4 days. And I'm going to attend the meeting again.
I visited a car shop for an annual inspection. I thought I had to buy some kerosene for an oil heater last night, because I won't be able to use my car until saturday by the inspection.
Monthly meeting for reviewing patents was held. We've reviewed a lot of patents in few hours.
I'll try to write my diary again.
