●2026/06/10 23 Years of Running a Home Server — Why I Still Offer Free Web Space

Why run a website on a home server for 23 years — and still offer free web space and email to anyone who asks? Rereading my old terms of use made me put the philosophy into words.


●2026/06/04 Auditing My YAMAHA Router Config with Claude Code — RTX830 Real-World Example

I handed my RTX830 router config to Claude Code for a full audit. It found issues I’d missed in years of hand-tuned setup — here’s what came up and how I fixed it.


●2026/05/30 Living Every Day with Claude Code — Life After Migration

I’ve written before about migrating my home server entirely to WordPress. That post focused on the migration work itself, but development hasn’t stopped since.


●2026/05/30 I Attended All 5 Days of COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26

All five days of COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26 at Makuhari Messe: a six-day road trip from Aichi, and the story of a band I first met through a station billboard three years ago.


●2026/05/28 Japan Jam 2026 Day 2 Report — Back at the Festival After 15 Years

On May 3 during Golden Week, I attended Day 2 of Japan Jam 2026. The last time I went to Japan Jam was in 2011 — fifteen years had passed without my noticing.

This post covers the full story of migrating my home server’s long-running static HTML site to WordPress.


●2017/07/01 My Server Has Been Renewed

After 10 years, my home server got its fourth-generation rebuild — from a single-core Sempron to a Pentium G6500, 16GB of RAM, and full gigabit networking.


●2014/06/06 Applied for mineo.

I finally applied for mineo, an MVNO on au’s network. The plan: go back to a feature phone and cut my smartphone bill — now I just wait for the screening to finish.


●2014/05/24 au’s MVNO Service ‘mineo’

That’s ‘ mineo ‘. The 1GB per month limit is quite strict, but for me, who only uses about 2GB even with fairly heavy usage, it’s the perfect service.

●2014/05/13 Indignant at au’s response to my smartphone malfunction… (continued)

The repair ended up free, cover included — but au’s support still left a bad taste. A record of how they hinted at a paid repair before playing their hidden card.


●2014/05/12 Outraged by au’s response to my phone breakdown…

The phone’s symptom was that when I launched the camera app, the camera would normally switch using the “camera function switch,” but the app wouldn’t recogniz…


●2014/05/11 R152 Touring

During this year’s Golden Week, I took a trip from Tokyo to Nagoya, combining it with a visit back home, and did some touring on R152.


●2014/05/10 Home Server URL Change and Other Things

Upgraded Movable Type from 4 to 6 after the URL change — and my first post in two years, with notes from ARABAKI ROCK FEST.14 after a 400km drive to Sendai.
