A luddite being agonized with internet settings

I have another blog in Japanese, which I have kept for 19 years. When I started it, I had some time free in my duty at the private practice and wanted to publish what I thought about my profession and hobby. Ever since, I have kept it almost everyday. At first, re medical service and legal issues against so called "malpractise" which were mostly incorrect from the standpoint of medical profession. At that time, I have started playing cello again after a long hiatus since med school orchestra days. Playing in orchestras or smaller ensembles was another topic. Later on, I was more concerned about politics. The movements to prewar nationalism in our country has forced me to do with political issues there. Economy was the infrastructure, I understood those days. Quite few memories within my family were there as well.


Yesterday, with a deranged Google Chrome, everything should be initialized. A hard work for a luddite in IT. The last issue was that blog. It was impossible for me to access the admin page. This morning, I could make it with another version of Google Chrome. Last night, I was sweating imagining that I could had lost every posts in that blog. The content was not so precious at all but was still indispensible for me. Having read the content back, I found a lot of things I almost had forgotten completely. Especially on old ham friends. Now I decided to put the past log into an HDD even  though I know it is not a perfect media to memorize the vast log in the past.   


When I had difficulty to access the admin page, I thought the end of life could be comparable to it. I should get both ready for now. 


Another challenge is to make use of my very first smartphone. I am using it as a hand held phone only at present. The display is too small for me. I still need to get used to it for some particular purposes. Development of IT is not so handy for an old luddite like me, I am afraid.


This blog in English could be the only private media left for me in the future. I would make it as affluent as possible. For that purpose, your feed back as comments is always welcomed.
