Summer here means an occasion to go to the beach, but because of 'rona restrictions I virtually went to the beach by reading an old blog article.
And instead of beach I went to nearby temple, so that I prepared my bin of 5 yen coins and use it to wish for many things from world peace to success in ongoing Saturn projects.
After getting bored in tossing my coins I took pictures of cats. It was a quiet day with more cats than pilgrims
A cat
Another cat
A gang of cats
Do not feed cats ... but they seem to live well anyway.
(Are they using my 5 yen coins to buy cat food ?!)

Last Monday was a national holiday in Japan, called "Day of the Sea" (海の日). So I went to the sea, and spent a nice day there.
Priority peter in its natural environment : very similar to me, but without the girls, and with a TI89 in hand instead of the TI84+
Three years ago, I spent the whole summer period period at hospital without any occasion to go to the sea. So every time I go to the sea is like a little revenge over my cancer

Out of stock ":]". I'm glad to have finished this batch I don't plan to sell Gamer's Cartridge for a while, because stock of parts to build theses cartridges (electronics components, PCBs, labels, etc) is currently very low here. I'm even lacking of bubble paper used when shipping cartridges
So, what's next ? Of course, Saturn stuff I plan to use this "break" in cartridges manufacturing and sales in order to continue Pseudo Saturn Kai development. Main feature to add is cheat codes, which is a bit "heavy" one to implement, because processing in order to make cheat codes working isn't documented in details. But that will be done ! Also, there are some side quests here and there regarding Pseudo Saturn Kai features. I plan to implement as far I can, so it will be limited only by my free time, my motivation, and flash ROM remaining on cartridge
Gerber preview before ordering PCB on Seeed Studio, very classy and realistic
Edit (2017/05/11) : finally back in stock I catched the occasion to make some minor improvements to my homepage, such as adding anchor link to some sections, adding some directions for Japanese users, etc ... and I'm already full up with writing HTML
Edit (2017/05/12) : half of the stock already reserved oO
Cartridges are assembled by hand, hence stock is small, but I'm impressed anyway

This week I went to the beach
Me at the beach, but I use a TI-89, not a TI83+
I live in Japan near to the sea, but occasions to have fun in salted water is limited, because of the presence of medusa from middle of August, so I should enjoy beach now ^^
Because of surgery and chemos (lost 15 Kg in 6 monthes !), one hour is the maximum before feeling dizzy, but going to the sea is fun anyway
