!!!Profile of Toshihito Ishida {{lastmodified}} [[English(This page)|Profile]] [[日本語|プロフィール]] ::What introduced me to the Astrophysics? :::In the lower grade of the elementary school, I read a book on :::the constellations and the myth of them, and interested in them. :::After that, I had been observed some objects with my friends, :::who are also interested in Astronomy. However, I gradually get :::tired with the constellations, their myth and observing. Then, I :::had a next chance to read a book of the third volume of the :::''The Astronomy of the 20th century'', which is written by :::Professor O. Strube and very interested in the Astrophysics. I'm :::sure that without reading this book, I would be the specialist :::of the other discipline. :::The above book is out of print now, but you may be find it out :::at a used book shop. ::Computers :::My interest to the computers are somewhat different from ones of :::the other people I met, especially in the interest to keyboard :::and pointing devices(such as a mouse). Unfortunately, I only had :::a chance to use keyboards with ''QWERTY'' configuration and :::Romanized Japanese input methods. However, recently, I have :::found some softwares for makeing keyboard to the so-called :::Nicola configuration, and now I write Japanese with this :::configuration. I also have got a customizing file to make my :::keyboard to Dvorak configuration and a tool to change keyboard :::configuration as anyway I like. However, unfortunately, this :::customizing file and software does not co-work with :::Nicola-rization software. Thus, I cannot try to use Dvorak :::configuration, til now. Furthermore, I found another interesting :::method to input Japanese characters by one hand in the :::customizing files included in the trial version of the Japanese :::input method ''Matsutake''. :::This method impressed me very much! ::Pet Bottles :::I guess that many people who had a chance to see me will see me :::with a pet-bottle (often it contain 2 litters of oolong tea). :::This is because I have some kidney stones and advised from my :::medical doctor to drink as much as possible.
