Moved to a New Personal Web Diary & Blog System (ZemoLash & UsagiLash 📝🐰)

ZemoLash & UsagiLash

I've recently built two new systems: ZemoLash and UsagiLash.

Conceptual diagram:

ZemoLash (backend): Originally developed as a Content Management System for MemoWiki. I extended it so it can now handle blog data as well.

UsagiLash (frontend): A Blog Rendering System that displays the articles managed by ZemoLash.

The blog's HTML and CSS are basically the same as before, with just a few unnecessary parts removed—so the design hasn't really changed.

The GeoRSS feature has been dropped (but standard RSS is still supported).

I'm developing and testing a new blog system.

PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) with DEATH NOTE

NI-Lab. — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 15:00:00 GMT

"I have a pen, I have an apple -- apple pen," Piko Taro, a character created by Japanese comedian and DJ Kosaka Daimaou sings in the clip, clad in matching animal print and busting some serious dance moves. The video has already collected more than 1 million views on YouTube, and Bieber's endorsement probably won't hurt.

Death Note is a Japanese manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The story follows Light Yagami, a high school student who discovers a supernatural notebook from a Shinigami named Ryuk that grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose name and face he knows. The series centers around Light's attempts to create and rule a world "cleansed of evil" as "God" using the notebook, and the efforts of a detective known as L to stop him.

Henn-na Hotel with working robots at Huis Ten Bosch

NI-Lab. — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 15:00:00 GMT

I stayed at Henn-na Hotel. This hotel's staffs were robots.

Excitement meets comfort. Introducing state-of-the-art technologies, Henn na Hotel is the world-first hotel staffed by robots.

At the front desk, you will be greeted by multi-lingual robots that will help you check in or check out. At the cloakroom, the robotic arm will store your luggage for you, and the porter robots will carry them to your room (only available in A Wing). Mechanic yet somehow human, those fun moments with the robots will warm your heart. Furthermore, once you register your face with our face recognition system, you will be free from the hassle of carrying the room key around or worrying about losing it.

OUR CONCEPT | Henn-na Hotel

Front Desk

This dinosaur talks! He gave me the check-in instructions.

Robot cloak Room

This is a pay locker exclusively for guests staying at the hotel. You can use it to store your bags before check-in or after check-out. Here, your bags will be taken by a robotic arm. Simply place your bag in the "Baggage Handling Door" (42cm × 72cm) and the robotic arm will automatically store it in a locker for you.

"I love this maple bread" is written. But the front staff cannot eat it because she is a robot...

The room key is a card or face authentication. However, face authentication never succeeded...

I stayed this room.

Tuly-chan is a cute robot in the room.

Tuly-chan is operated by voice recognition. She tells us the weather when we ask it. She can sing a songs, turn on and off the lights, setup a wake-up call and others.
