Code Ninjas
Once a week, my kids go to the programming school called Code Ninjas. As they gain programming knowledge, they level up, and their wristband colors change. It is similar to the karate belt ranking system. Since they are studying at a state-approved online school, they have required computer skills. They used to go to the… Read more

Write about your first computer.
Hi, I am back. How are you? I bought my first laptop around 2010. One day, I went to Office Depot. A new Lenovo laptop was $399. I immediately thought I should buy it. My current computer is a used Dell. Photo by Pixabay @liliflorida on Tumblr Read more

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
I already learned blogging and basic web design skills. Next year, I want to create educational content and animated videos. A few years ago, I created 20 Japanese lessons (for English speakers) with other specialists in six months. The job was not easy. AI is faster and easier, but I want to work alone (or… Read more

My husband is a former IT programmer, and I am working at a tech-related company. I am a teacher, but I am not a public school teacher. Our children are also studying at a… Read more

WordPressにプラグインをインストールしたら…🤨😑
今朝、WordPress内のプラグインを新しくインストールしたところ、エラーが発生！しかも、その後にJetpackもエラーになりました！どうしたらいいのかな…？と思いつつ、最後にインストールしたプラグインを無効にした後に削除。他にも使わなさそうなプラグインを全部削除したところ、何とか元の状態に戻りました。コンピューターの知識は一般常識程度にはあるものの、まだまだWordPressの使い方に手間取ってます。💦 実はWordPressを始める前に、Bloggerを少し使ったことがあります。以前にも書いたことがありますが、夫が元ITプログラマーです。数年前まで彼がBloggerでブログをやっていたため(2021年頃までは頻繁にしてた様子)、「Bloggerいいよ！簡単にブログが書けるし、色々自分の好きなようにカスタマイズ出来るから！」と言われて使ってみたのですが、実際に使ってみて思ったこと。私には面倒というか…色々自分でカスタマイズは出来るんですが、全部自分でやらないといけません。 私は複雑なことがしたくないタイプなので、Bloggerはやめました。ちなみに、今こうやってWordPressでブログを書いていますが、夫からのヘルプは一切ありません。😅 夫婦といえども、お互いの専門分野になると、なかなか難しいものです。我が家が少し変わっているのかもしれませんが、昔から銀行口座や携帯プランは別々。私がブログを始めるにあたり、ブログのプラットフォームも別々になりました。しかも、お互いフォローやリンクもしていませんし、夫のブログを手伝ったこともありません。(笑) もしかしたら今後、彼のブログを紹介するかもしれません。ただ、彼はかなり専門的(マニアック)な機械式(エニグマ)暗号機について書いています。私が読んでもよく分かりませんが、エンジニアの方や機械が好きな方だったら、分かるかな？👨💼 今日のフロリダは良い天気です。 ブログの写真は、午後4時頃に庭で撮りました。 素敵な1日をお過ごしください。😊 Photo by LILI Read more
