The weather forecast said it was very cold in early morning and it might rain or snow in afternoon. So I drove my Prius to the hospital. As it was approaching the end of year, I expected the heavy traffic around the Tsukiji Market. But it was not crowded at all. I got to the hospital with only twenty minutes drive from my home. In its parking lots, there were less than ten vehicles.
After I finished the radiotherapy, Dr. Naoki Matsuoka at Urology consulted with me. He arranged blood and urine tests. And I also got a hormone preparation injection. After I complete the radiotherapy schedule the day after tomorrow, he will see me again on January 22, Tuesday. I think the effects of therapy will be evaluated by that time.
When I got back to my home at about eleven, I found a warning of virus infusion on the screen of my computer. It said that a mail titled as hRe: How are you?"was contaminated by the very dangerous virus and asked me to take an immediate counter action following their instructions. Although ,I have not yet had the mail in my mail box yet, I went ahead to follow the instruction. A few minutes later, I was reported that hThe mail was quarantined to a part of CD. It will never damage my computer any more and it will not attack the other computers." By this time I found in my receiving box a mail with a strange Chinese character (I have never seen such a character) and two small suffixes (as I erased them immediately, I have no way for confirming them now.) I had another infected mail by midnight but I caught it with a help from Norton Anti-virus. It is really the age of Cyber Terrorism. The damages caused by the Cyber Terrorism has become very severe all at once as the number of mails has increased with Christmas mails, I think. Only big and powerful enterprises can afford to build the solid walls against their attack. Individual users are obliged to rely on the low cost anti-virus soft from market. Everyday, we are working by praying for good luck.
It rained hard after noon but it had not snow but sleet, By the evening, it stopped to rain.
