Since this is not so self-evident that change.gov’s iPhone “app” is not an actual application but an iPhone version of Obama’s website (you can’t find it on the App store), and since few sites actually provide you with the link to go there, here it is:

Save the world! (if you think you can)

On matters of personal life, it appears really hard to find a romantic place on Nagoya for Christmas eve.

Aren’t we a little tired here…
皆も結構疲れきっちゃったのかな…

First of all, I have to tell that from now on all my blog posts will be written in English. Several reasons for that decision:

- A bunch of my posts (if not all) will be written from my iPhone, and the French IME is like crap on the iPhone OS, so it’s not worth the trouble. I like writing good French, at least when posting articles.

- I want my Japanese friends to be able to read this blog. I could as well write in Japanese (and I will do so if I feel that my English is becoming difficult to understand at some point), but on the other hand it would become impossible for French visitors to read. So English is the right choice here. その上で英語の読む練習をさせてあげてもよろしいでしょ。

- Last but not least, recently I am only speaking Japanese (although I still dream in French for the most part of it), and I feel as if my English skills were slowly slipping away. Asides from a Spanish friend I met here at Nagoya Institute of Technology, I don’t speak English at all. I don’t get around with international exchange students much, only with Japanese people, so in the end I don’t get to practice English. Which is not good. I don’t want to trade English for Japanese, so posting in English on my blog will allow me to train my father’s native language a little.

That being said, let’s get down to business. I’ve been thinking about writing posts from my iPhone ever since I downloaded the Wordpress application for iPhone. After fixing our FreeBSD server - whose qmail queue was crammed with spam, acting as an open-relay and flooding /var to the point of no inodes being left, *sigh* - I finally upgraded the wordpress script so that the xmlrpc would become usable by that iPhone implementation of Wordpress.

And I must say I’m quite satisfied. The categories management feature is even better than the one I was using long ago with Drivel, that shitty good-for-nothing open source app for blogging. Well, since the Wordpress for iPhone app is - as the name states - dedicated to Wordpress, it’s obvious that it has to be working better than Drivel, but whatever. I like bitching on open source crap.

The next thing will be to try and upload a picture from the iPhone cam library; I’ve been reading in some comments on the App Store that one of this app’s flaws has something to do with picture formatting. Whatever, let’s see if that’s to be taken for granted or not

So here’s a pic of the kinda things we do during the meetings in our lab. Ok, I have to say that it was a 飲み会 meeting; in other words, it’s like that only on special occasions, and this time it was for our little iPhone contest: alcohol and the like were allowed. Let’s make that precision in case my sensei ends up reading that blog someday. The lab is a serious place. I’m not even sure if I’m allowed to post that pic here, people here being very picky about privacy. Well, I’ll ask and see. If it’s not possible I’ll just delete the pic right away.

So here’s our architectural masterpiece: Pisa tower, cocktail remix3d.
