I think free wifi everywhere would be much cooler. Regarding your search for a moesome 2D girl calendar for next year, I have a solution. I took a bunch of Hi res images that I liked and got a professional printing service to make a calendar for me. It turned out really well and all the pictures are EXACTLY what I wanted ^^ I on;y paid £7.02 including postage for 2 a4 calendars. I thought it was great value.

wow - nice article. so much covered from conferences, a singapore trip, an interview to food in one article. one q: wont the cooking brush leave scratches on the figures? about pirated software being used in my workplace - nopes. even it were i wouldn't grass over it cause it would mean trouble to me cause people get corrupted here over a small amount of money. also think i might have to forgo the next contest, cause i dont want to join youtube. the net connection sucks here bigtime. i'd rather have a 100mbps connection than free wifi (i dont have any wifi enabled devices ;) )

Actually, next year that Wireless@SG wont be free anymore (if im not wrong) ^^; it was free to 'market' it so ppl get used to browse freely with their laptop in starbucks, etc. But once its not free, they gotta paid to surf anywhere ^^;
(ID #383106) Posted on 2008/11/24 02:14
It won't mind paying if it is a minimal sum a month. They're slowly wifi-ing the whole island so should give them some credit for it.
(ID #384266) Posted on 2008/11/25 01:32
lol, I never noticed the bars there at the window, because everytime you took photos of your office/room, it's always at night!! XD

Free wifi is only at designated wifi spots not fully island ^^;

I’m sure you will be inundated with more homemade calendars than you can manage now. By the way, I use a mouthpiece brush or recorder cleaner to dust down my figures. They only cost pennies in UK. Bean-made coffee is so easy to make, and I agree, is the better tasting. Loved Guy Kawasakis’ presentation video. Perhaps now would be a good time to remind everyone of the reason for Mirai Inc being in existence? I see you still have a British passport. Any thoughts about becoming a Japanese citizen?
(ID #383118) Posted on 2008/11/24 02:21
mmm it has been a quite a while since a weekly tokyo post. :) Seems like things are settling down at a certain time and then suddenly becoming busy the next day for you. Hope you're coping with that well. 100mbps, since I'm more of a home PC user. Can't stand laptops for some reason...only if its to study, but for gaming...just cant suffice.
(ID #383121) Posted on 2008/11/24 02:25
Ramen .... shop .... *drool* Anyway, I'd much rather prefer the fast internet at home rather than free wireless. I hardly use wifi. Coffee is easy btw, just get youself a small spice grinder and one of these; http://www.kitchenniche.ca/images/bodum%20french%20press%20coffee%20maker%20chambord%20big.jpg It's as easy as brewing up Danny ^__^
(ID #383127) Posted on 2008/11/24 02:32
Fast 100mpbs would be better for me, almost all of my net activity goes on at home and I would appreciate faster downloads instead of wireless.
(ID #383128) Posted on 2008/11/24 02:33
Nice walkthrough Danny. I'd rather have 100Mbps flat rate then having free wi-fi at lower speeds. What kind of connection do you use Danny - ADSL or cable?
(ID #383131) Posted on 2008/11/24 02:38
Nice video ^^. I'm hoping to work on a few start-ups once I graduate in a few weeks. Both of them I want to make due to I feel that they will fill a void on the internet that I feel nobody has stepped up to do. While I do hope that I will get money out of them eventually, the main reason I'm making them is that I want people to feel connected or help provide information to people in an easy and simple manner. I hope it is something that works out next year ^^i
(ID #383156) Posted on 2008/11/24 03:08
As always a nice collection of photos. I'm happy with my ADSL speed so free wi-fi would be nice especially since mobile internet is way to expensive here.

100mbps. I don't have my laptop with me all the time, even if I do *most* of the time, and I'd rather have a much faster home connection. I'm not out long enough to really need Internet; there's always stuff waiting to be watched and games waiting to be played.
(ID #383168) Posted on 2008/11/24 03:23
What a nice Week(s) hmm Danny. A lot of things happening in your life, so much changes on the blog, and a lot of news to bring up to us. I had a lot of trouble without a Free Wi-fi in Tokyo, so Let's go for a Free Wi-Fi. Coz without internet for searching, its really hard to travel in a different country.
(ID #383169) Posted on 2008/11/24 03:25
100Mbps please~ Since I'm home almost all the time.. Only that 1 week or 2 when back to hometown... Rural area = no wifi =( The flowers, I think we have it here too, if you're workin for big companies. ^^ What? DC is flagged as adult site at Germany? O_o
(ID #383171) Posted on 2008/11/24 03:32

(ID #383193) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:03
I remember Danny talking about this when he was in Germany. He asked how many of us who had problems with blocking of DC. I can't remember the answer to that question though, but a search could tell if you are really interested in this question. I don't have blocking issues and that's good enough to know for me (at least for now)

Another nice week love the series! I'd rather have the 100Mbps. =w=''
(ID #383199) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:15
I think getting a faster net connection would be better thab a free wifi. What if the makers of the Wifi has a conspiracy, then the outcome would be bad. There are free wireless connectivity, but the connection is crappy. LOL, better to get a guaranteed 100 mbps, physically connected. World is moving so many people will know how to make a 100mbps on their own, making it free.

wonderful & meaningful week there ^^ 100Mb connection plz~~~~~~~~ Better get a good coffee machine first, which would cost an arm or leg ^^; or the simplest, use a french press pot.
(ID #383205) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:24
"Got my Indy Jones waiting in the lounge for viewing - how was it compared to the previous Indy's?" Compared to the others it's bad alright. Overall it's ok. "Are you aware of any pirated software being used at your work? If so, would you grass on your company?" lol, I would never do that... 98% of my software is pirated =/
(ID #383209) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:28
Free wifi please :) I could live with 7.2Mps if it meant I could stay connected to the internet anywhere in the country.
(ID #383212) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:29
I don't like browsing on mobile devices; give me the 100mps. Oooh, you sat at the window right behind the wing? That's my favorite spot. I love watching the ailerons. ^_^
(ID #383220) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:38
Loving the shots in the plane! I love flying, I stare out of the window the whole time!
(ID #383224) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:41
I like those pictures too. There is something facinating about looking at the ground from a plane. However I hate flying. I don't like the forces and movements of a plane. Also the more I learn about safety and how planes work the more I don't like flying, which is interesting because airlines actually tell people about how planes work to get them comfortable about flying... it's the opposite with me ^^
(ID #384418) Posted on 2008/11/25 05:35
I would rather have free WIFI. The only things that I can think of that require 100Mbs are downloading games and anime/t.v. shows. I have one of those stuffed animals from the crane game that I won. Those games are pretty addictive. As for Indiana Jones, South Park put it best: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg raped Indy.
(ID #383229) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:45
Same. I'd rather get free WiFi. 7.2Mbps isn't a bad speed at all, unless you download games and anime then that's where the 100Mb connection comes in. All in all I'd sacrifice that to be able to get a net connection on my laptop wherever I go.
(ID #383266) Posted on 2008/11/24 05:29
I want 100Mbps free Wifi ^^. The last Indy movie is really bad in my opinion and really don't like the ending but that's just me though. Previous 3 Indy movies are much better.
(ID #383231) Posted on 2008/11/24 04:47
I dont think you can get 100mbp on wifi

God, I wish America would get it's act together for some killer internet. Our Idea of Fast is a 10/1 cable connection. 15/2 Fiber if your lucky (which I am not). Then to top it off, cable can often get bogged down hard during prime hours. BOOOO.

(ID #383283) Posted on 2008/11/24 05:41
we already have free wifi in Paris in almost all the public space ( garden, museum etc..) and admistration building. it give u a free wifi access for an hour, after that u have to restart a session but u can restart as many time as u want. take a long time to settle that because the internet providers were not really happy and also because there was a lots of legals issue. So that, plus Mc donald free wifi and a lot of restaurants and bars that also provide wifi u can connect to internet almost everywhere in Paris. but not really sure that is usefull since that Two providers annouce that they gonna start WIMAX next year, going first in Paris.

I never did get too far into the practice of making coffee from beans because I can't stand the stuff. ^^; I do visit interesting, semi-remote places known for their great coffee, though. Right now, for example, I'm in the volcanic region of Guatemala. If you decide to take up making coffee from beans (or would like some ground coffees from interesting places) let me know and I'd be happy to send some along when I go somewhere new!

Watch Indy ASAP His 'very apparent' age will bother you for the first 5mins Then if you are a major/super fan, the next 10mins should erase all doubts about the movie...and his age. tsk tsk tsk Danny, you know you're not supposed to turn on electronic devices while the plane is making landing..........taking photos like that. Unless i'm mistaken and the laws aren't that strict in Japan?
(ID #383317) Posted on 2008/11/24 06:01
Good point. However I'm pretty sure that the electromagnetic noise from the camera is minimal. The problem is mainly (only?) about devices transmitting a radio signal (like a mobile phone or a wifi notebook).

Didn't get the chance to taste ANA dessert. The last I went to Japan had to take Thai Airways to reduce cost. The food was very good but the service was bad..

This is my favourite series of yours on the blog :D Nice to see you are continuing with it! 100mbps???!! We pay more for shaped net that can go up to maximum of 24mbps (if you live at the exchange and no one else is connected).

Seeing as Norway's internet offers plain suck, I want a 100 Mbps connection more than I want free WiFi. Sure, that'd been total own as well, but after being stuck with a 4 Mpbs connection for so long, I want fasssssster naow! And I'm happy to see this series still alive and kicking. I really enjoy these articles and the photo walks ^^

Now I know who to blame. I think it's wrong to start Christmas before Christmas. A valid compromise would be to not start before the 1st of December. Since the shops and media started acting like Christmas in November, it's like it's not really the same when it's finally Christmas :(

Regarding your question about pirated software at work, their's no pirated software being used at my work. And if they even had pirate software in use, I still wouldn't grass the company (you can see it as a benefit actually, in case your boss starts to get really annoying you can threathen to grass him/her). About the 100 Mbps/free WiFi, I personally would rather have 100 Mbps. Since I'm only online on my desktop (I don't have a laptop yet), free WiFi has no benefits for me.

Hmm... wifi everywhere would be nice, but I'd have to upgrade to something more than just my iPod so I could view it easily. Indiana Jones 4 was a little sketchy for me, but viewable.

DC used to have them but I haven't seen them in quite a while. I remember that I signed up in the first place because members with an account that was more than two weeks old could remove them by clicking something. Maybe they are automatically removed now for members ^^

nice view from the plane window Danny. lovely. i'll be considering ANA in future as their food looks nicer than the ones on SIA. that rice cake dessert looks oishii. if you ever remember the name, please do tell. also, Shaolin Gril sucks poo, but if you insist, do go ahead and watch it. ^_^ and free wifi wherever in Singapore? not really. there aren't a lot of those free hotspots yet so personally, i'd still prefer higher access speeds at home, but that also means that i'd need tons of HDD space because there's so much to download at a faster speed.

For a pleasant kick, steep tea leaves in fresh coffee. I like doing this when I have some strong-tasting green tea and it's the only preparation of tea I'd take with milk. That aside, have you ever had any of those habanero chips? They're quite good. As a laxative that is.

they actually they filmed most (of what wasn't CG) in good old 35mm film just like how the old films were done - thus giving the feeling as if there had never been a 20 year gap between filming good decisions on Spielbergs part

BTW, the ISP plan you are looking is a mobile broadband meaning you can use it everywhere with a 3.5G network... have Japan already reached 100mbps on mobile broadband already? wow!!! Further more wireless@SG is not even Singapore wide yet... The connection is still bad and can only be found in certain places... Lastly it's only like a trial... which they are going charge for by 2011... ... ...

(ID #383753) Posted on 2008/11/24 15:17
I don't trust wifi security. I ended up using cables to connect everything instead of wifi due to security for both the network and me. Considering the research results on affects of waves from mobile phones, then I guess wifi can be at least as bad. It might even be worse because the energy in the signal is higher. Also using cables gives me gigabit ethernet. Quite useful for streaming video and fast forwarding ^^
(ID #384463) Posted on 2008/11/25 06:30
nice. the food looks delicious yum yum. but for the internet, the free wifi is not really good.. sometimes it is very slow and you can dc anytime.. probably not good for anything unless you are surfing image light website. So i rather have a 100Mbps internet connection at a lower price >_<

What I'd prefer? 100Mbps. By far. Heck. I've been dreaming of a line with decent upstream bandwidth for ages. I'd actually start hosting webpages at home then. The main reason I do not own a webpage right now is that I am weary of free providers/dislike their ToS/limitations/whatever, and I am not willing to pay for a shitty webhoster. And good webhosters tend to be expensive. I'd rather have a dedicated box I built myself at home for that. I could also host voicechat servers, or whatever the hell is needed for whatever. As well as a decent FTP as internet storage for friends of mine. After moving here I got stuck with a shitty 3Mbps down/360Kbps up ADSL line, which fails. The 16Mbps down/1.5Mbps up I had at my previous place was nicer, but alas, the 3Mbps line is as good as it gets over here. I'd probably kill to have internet per optical carrier at home. As for WiFi everywhere, I have a sort of irrational hate on everything that works wirelessy, so that's a no-go for me.

Maybe you've heard turkish coffee is pretty famous, I love it. But more than that I'm just a sucker for the smell of freshly grinded coffee. If I ever notice a grinder like this somewhere, ı can't stand but get close to it even if I won't drink coffee lol, love the scent of it. http://www.turkishcoffeeworld.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/newslideshow/kahvebuyuk03.jpg

DC was blocked over here in Germany? In what kind of facility did you try to access it?There isnt anything that makes DC an Adult site from the law view.There was probably some kinda program installed that has a userregulated rating system(if you know what i mean?) Did you try the new Ramenshop?I absolutely love Ramen Shops! Too bad there arent that many over here^^ Theres no pirated software at my work.We usually just use an OS and scheduling/billing software Gotta sign up for Youtube now...

Was at an internet cafe at Berlin station.
(ID #384056) Posted on 2008/11/24 21:33
Well. I can kind of see that happening in internet cafes or when using any kind of public internet connection. Someone uptight would likely flag DC for the mature figure content. Technically I can't surf DC at school without risking getting into trouble.

http://www.bgblportal.de/BGBL/bgbl1f/bgbl108s2149.pdf Warning. German wall of text. Made of lawbabble. To make it short, since the fifth of this month or so, any pornographic material of people that APPEAR underage (even if they are not) is illegal. This includes drawn work like doujinshi. How a drawn character can 'appear' or 'not appear' underage is kind of a riddle to me. Some sections are rather awkwardly and/or mushily worded, too. In the end, depending on the judge, I bet you could lock up half of the people in the darn country if you just interpreted the wording the 'right' way.

Yeah it was probably flagged by someone from the internet cafe in this case.Back when i was in school most sites you could have fun with were banned :(
(ID #385275) Posted on 2008/11/25 23:09
Curiously enough, my current school has rather lax firewall settings. Our admins are good with computers, but not with the 'internet'. All the obvious pages (like the ones containing 'naughty words' in the URL) are of course blocked. But pages like DC, meidocafe.jp, danbooru or 4chan are NOT. Though I admit, those are holes that I rarely exploit, given the fact that I do not want any misunderstandings.

Your internet connection is like 100 times faster than mine (only 1mbps lol) And problems often arise with our internet connection. Now wonder we always complain about our internet provider..

Woo more Tokyo! As for me I would rather have Free WIFI everywhere I go, it just feels more convenient. I met Guy Kawasaki about 4 years back, a truly inspirational man and a great speaker to boot! It was part of a large tech conference for teenagers and he was probably one of the few good speakers where everyone clung to his words. One of the lines I remember best is "Mooch off your parents as much as you can." lol.

Danny, how much is the monthly fee for 100Mbps in Japan? I remember you mentioned Japan uses fiber optics cabling? It's bout SGD90/mth for that speed here. And that's the promotional rate.
(ID #384271) Posted on 2008/11/25 01:38
If I recall correctly, he said he pays 5000 yen a month. Which is orders of magnitude less than what I'd have to pay here. (Considering it'd mean the ISP would have to run a underground fiber line just for me for at the least 400 meters or so. And that's being optimistic.)

Thanks for those pics and that video link- quite inspirational. I've been putting something together myself, and that video helped to clarify to me some of the reasoning I should be using and reminding myself of when I wake up in the morning and get started each day.

100mbps is what I would prefer. I don't own any portable devices that I'd be able to connect to a wireless connection with (Isn't that weird?).

100Mbps, definitely. I could deal with here-and-there but not everywhere wifi in exchange for Epic Internets +10 at home. The best you really ever see here in the Phoenix, AZ area is in the 20Mbps range. T_T

As always, you start the post with FOOD! It always make my mouth drool... Haven't watched the Indy Jones and no money to buy the DVD... Sad... 100Mbps or free WIFI? I choose the first one... Would like faster and better connection to free WIFI... Gret post as always and I especially like this picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/3053306264/sizes/o/ I've never ridden on a plane before^^;...

I love how your work involves going outside and meeting folks a lot. Sad to see not a lot of food pics this time around. I chose the first option but would prefer both even if I have to pay for the latter. :D Getting at least 3mbps here is soo expensive.
(ID #386166) Posted on 2008/11/26 14:44
I would definitely prefer a 100Mbps wired connection. Only getting like 1Mbps here and its throttled.
(ID #386435) Posted on 2008/11/26 18:49
That Tempura Don & the plane food looks SOOOOO good~ Fresh coffee is really good, and you'd definitely taste and smell the difference. ALSO, That floral shop is so pretty, ALL those flowers~ ahhhhhhh~ -w-

i believe wireless@sg is running at 512kb/s which is really slow. A portable usb modem will be required to even have decent internet speed on the go but i would still prefer 100 mbps ^^
(ID #387578) Posted on 2008/11/27 12:46
Kagamin as a foodstuff in ANA? D: Anyway I have to disagree on the supposedly "nationwide" coverage of the wireless@sg. It is usually available in places like libraries, starbucks and such, but not really everywhere. Add that with a number of people using the same router as you and massive lag ensues. I want the 100 mbps please, takeaway. :D

Wireless would be cool. Combined with a Blackberry, you could waste time on the internet anywhere. I've never had more than 768k, so even 7.2M would be a godsend.
(ID #400598) Posted on 2008/12/06 10:33
Man.. My internet is 769Kbps >_> My internet provider goes up to 21Mbps, but thats $50 a month and the one I have is $150.. And it works for what Im using it for right now. Once I move Ill shell out for the 21Mbps stuff.~
(ID #403076) Posted on 2008/12/08 09:24
I meant $15. $150 for 768Kbps would be a little pricey! @.@

When I saw that 7.2 mbps ad, I was stunned, but when you mentioned that Japan has 100mbps, I was like WTF!!! The only maximum speed we can have here is 2mbps.
