About me...

I have been hacking computers from my junior high school days. My first personal computer (of my own) was NEC's PC-9801F2, and it made me really mad (or too happy). It made me quit from junior high's brass band, only few months after it's arrival to my home:-)

Job offers are, of course, welcomed. I'm especially interested in jobs related to internetworking in the Silicon Valley area. ...only if you can beat the current deal I got.

Favorites

We believe in rough consensus and running code."(Dave Clark, 1992); "Can I have everything louder than everything else?"(Deep Purple "Live in Japan")
Favorite foods:: Everything, especially Ethnic Asian (Indian, Cambodian, Chinese... of course, Japanese); Harry: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
