Rakusho no Goku -- 落照の獄
(A jail of the declining Light)

By Ono Fuyumi -- 小野不由美

Translated by o6asan

   "Not only the security is worsening, but the monster like Shudatsu(狩獺) is increasing -- don't you agree, sir?"
   Hogetsu(蒲月) said and Eiko(瑛庚) sighed.
   "I agree with you it seems."
   "Shudatsu(狩獺) has already been judged three times. Without repenting, he recidivated 16 times after that. This means the current system has no effects for the criminal like Shudatsu(狩獺) being reclaimed."
   "You must be right. But, ......"
   Although the country tries very hard to reclaim criminals, there still exists one person without repenting. Someone repeats crimes daringly as if he/she turns his/her back like refusing regeneration. -- Eiko(瑛庚) does know very well such a person.
   "If the penal servitude does not work, we need some more severe, don't you think so, sir?"
   "It's not my hesitation to punish Shudatsu(狩獺) by the death penalty. My hesitation is the death penalty itself."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) questioningly looks at Eiko(瑛庚).
   "If we execute him, it actually means to revive a death penalty."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) looks not understanding him exactly.
   "Now, our country peace is disturbed as you said. Therefore, I feel unease about this revival."
   "Why, sir?"
   "...... Don't you understand really?"
   When Eiko(瑛庚) asks him back, Hogetsu(蒲月) catches his breath in his throat, and turns his eyes away with flinching.
   Yes, Hogetsu(蒲月) also knows very well. -- No one knows why, but recently Ryu(柳), their country, is going to declining. Yoma(妖魔) are rampant, the unseasonable weather, and rash of disasters. The criminal punishment is not too light. People behave violently because the country is declining. So crimes are increasing.
   The problem is not only crimes increasing. Lately, Eiko(瑛庚) often feels the discrepancy in the place of national administration. Things that once would have advanced straight are skew now. Although the reasons of them are various, generally speaking, the point is rough country. At times like this, they want to correct all by their famous Ruler(王) who is very good at governing, but, the Ruler(王) seems to have lost his enthusiasm.
   "...... What happened to Shujo(主上)?"
   Hogetsu(蒲月) mutters.
   "You are one of Tenkan(天官) and should know more detail about it. What does Tenkan(天官) say?"
   "Well ...... We have no idea. I think Shujo(主上) does not act all confused. We think Shujo(主上) does not wander from the right path, but,"
   "But Shujo(主上) is not who he was."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) nods his head.
   "This is not my words, but someone said Shujo(主上) became incompetent --."
   Eiko(瑛庚) tried to scold Hogetsu(蒲月) because of his shocking words, but at the same time, Eiko(瑛庚) thought it's true. That's not to say that the Ruler(王) never became merciless nor evil. Rulers(王) who oppress their people are ordinary, but the Ruler of Ryu(劉王) did not seem to try to oppress people. Nevertheless, the national administration is skew. Definitely -- the Ruler(王)'s capability is diminishing.
   Eiko(瑛庚) sighed deeply.

It's been more than 1 month since I last wrote. How have you been, guys?

Recently, I stuck to succeed in "On-access scan by DazukoFS+ClamAV on Lucid Puppy". 新・懸案のLoox（DazokoFS+ClamAV+HAVP on LuPu）。 It was very hard work, but I made it on 16th Aug.

Then, I tried my translation. These days, I work slowly. The reason why not only I'm busy but also the story is depressing. Even so, I'm driving myself hard. Finally, I can upload a part of my translation today. (clap^3)

Rakusho no Goku -- 落照の獄
(A jail of the declining Light)

By Ono Fuyumi -- 小野不由美

Translated by o6asan

   "Recently, the security in Shiso(芝草) has been worsening as Seika(清花) insisted to. The people are scared about this situation, so they keep up vociferous calls for a death penalty, I think. If we do not impose a severe punishment soon, the situation might be getting worse and worse, they concern."
   "I agree......"
   In recent years, it is true the security in Shiso(芝草) has been worsening. -- Not only Shiso(芝草) but also all over the country. Though it is a slight increase on an actual number, the people feel unsafe now because their country was almost a safe place. Little wonder that the situation is related to the Ruler's edificatism. They begin to doubt whether the current criminal law is strict enough.
   But, judicial officers, like Eiko(瑛庚), know very well that the number of crimes in Ryu(柳) is not very large. Crimes have definitely been decreasing since the current Ruler(現王) ascended the throne. After death penalties were stopped by the Ruler's intention, there is no fact that crimes have been increasing. Especially, the number of criminals has decreased dramatically as the Ruler ceased executing criminals and revived Geimen(鯨面) which was already abandoned in other countries.
   It is said that to tattoo criminal's face as a penalty is to disturb criminal's regeneration. At start with, Geimen(鯨面) was abandoned in So(奏), after that, disuse of it becomes a trend in other countries. Though some Rulers revive this penalties, Geimen(鯨面) is contrary to humanity, that is the established theory, so they were also abandoned in even Ryu(柳) long ago. But, the current Ruler dared to bring it back. First two times criminals are tattooed on their head, because they can hide them by their hair grown. Criminals can conceal their stigma as a criminal and it will disappear in around 10 years. This disappearing tattoo ink was invented by Tokan(冬官). It's named Soboku(沮墨).
   At first, Soboku(沮墨) looks deep black, but, it fades out for several years. Black, indigo, and blue, it fades out gradually, blue, purple, and pink, it will disappear in around ten years -- sooner or later it depends on criminal's skin color. But, if the criminal reflects deeply on his/her act and doesn't make any other crimes, he/she will be not guilty person someday.
   On the contrary, when he/she repeats a crime three times, he/she has one more tattoo where people can see it easily. At third, his/her right temple, at fourth, his/her left temple, after that, under right eye, and under left eye. There is rarely a criminal punished to Geimen(鯨面) of four times or more. And if he/she had a tattoo four times, this would be called Keijin(刑尽) that means penal servitude or prison until all tattoos disappearing. First tattoo by Soboku(沮墨) can disappear in around ten years, but, if next one puts on before former tattoo didn't fade out, the time for disappearing is longed. Four times Geimen(鯨面) will not disappear at least until thirty years. Although it depends on balances of others, if all the tattoos are very deep black, it means disappearing of them might take time until his/her death.
   At first, they concern about criminals looked down on by people and their regeneration disturbed by it, surprisingly it helps criminals' reborn. The criminal who deeply reflects bears with for fading its color, and people consider light color tattoo an evidence of his/her conversion. Deep black tattoo being hated can't be avoided, but during this periods they have sufficient degree of protection by the country, and color being lighter and lighter, he/she being more and more positive because people around praising. Actually, criminals who had got three tattoos had very low recidivism rate.
   People say the security is worsening, however, the number of atrocious crime in Ryu(柳) is very smaller than other countries' even now. It doesn't even need to compare with other countries which execute criminals. This is the evidence that the death penalty has no effect to stop crimes, but people always trust their recent feelings. And there is no doubt their country is different from a few years ago.

Update #10.

Recently, I'm very busy. But, today, I finally updated my server env.

php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip
    ------------> php-5.3.3-Win32-VC6-x86.zip

   Though I know ActivePerl-5.12.1.1201-MSWin32-x86-292674.msi was already released, I can't use it because the new ImageMagick still requires the old Perl.

Edit:
Yesterday, I forgot two things about the file "php.ini".

To remove ";" from the line ";extension=php_mysql.dll".

To define the default timezone.

So I fix them today.

Rakusho no Goku -- 落照の獄
(A jail of the declining Light)

By Ono Fuyumi -- 小野不由美

Translated by o6asan

   Hogetsu(蒲月) wore a questioning look.
   "To Shiho(司法)?"
   "I don't know what it means exactly. The system of Shiho(司法) or the people of Shiho(司法) who treat Judgments. Or, it might mean leaving to Shukan(秋官). That's too vague, and we cannot act by it because there is Shujo(主上)'s word 'The capital punishment is not done'. We said to them we need to get Shujo(主上)'s new rescript."
   "What do they say, Dai-shiko(大司寇) and Sho-shiko(小司寇)?"
   Eiko(瑛庚) shook his head.
   "Dai-shiko(大司寇), by his opinion, cannot permit the capital punishment."
   "If Dai-shiko(大司寇) doesn't give the okay, the capital punishment could not be done, could it?"
   "It is not clear. Intrinsically the decision is not influenced by other people' opinions. Besides, when the king leaves it to us, the judgment of administration of justice becomes the conclusion for this trial."
   "What is Chiin(知音) the Shiho(司法)'s opinion?"
   "He has a struggle trying to find a way. Sho-shiko(小司寇), too."
   When a criminal faces to the trial, they care what crime he did. If they could clarify the crime, they can give him the penalty by the criminal law. That Tenkei(典刑) clarifies the crime and gives the penalty is called a decision.
   Shudatsu(狩獺) committed crimes, mainly murders. Most of his murders wrere what planned beforehand. Moreover, in order to rob of money and goods he killed even persons who need not be killed. Most of his victims, overwhelming, are elderly persons, women and children who cannot resist. On the law all of them deserve the capital punishment, murder for the self-interest, meaningless murder, and murder to the weak people. Moreover, he committed more than one, so he deserves Shushi(殊死) -- which is the death penalty for irremissible crime.
   There was no factor about Shudatsu(狩獺), though the penalty was reduced if there was a factor to mitigate the punishment after the decision. It's very clear his punishment is Taiheki(大辟) originally.
   But, in Ryu(柳) the Ruler of Ryu(劉王) himself decides "to avoid the capital punishment". So, all the criminals who should be punished by death is penal servitude or confinement. If Shudatsu(狩獺) deserves Shushi(殊死) originally, he should have life imprisonment and it is natural judgment.
   The people, however, demand the death for him. First, the people were indignant the criminal like him got nothing more than imprisonment. Second, the district court and High Court adjudicated him the death penalty. The people who have known the death penalty is available accept nothing except his death. It's possible to say "we do not use Taiheki(大辟)" because of the Ruler(王)'s word, but if so the people will voice a complaint to Shiho(司法). According to situations, the angry people might rush to the national government. The voice requests the death penalty is loud, and makes them have to feel misgivings about the riot. It is difficult also for the judicial officers to disregard this.
   Eiko(瑛庚) talked this, Hogetsu(蒲月) muttered to have difficulty.
   "......It's very difficult mutter."
   Yeah, Eiko(瑛庚) sighed. He was still nonplussed, but he felt some salvation because Hogetsu(蒲月) said "It's difficult".

   After that, I feel some quicker about MT response. And suddenly, Crypt-DSA becomes working well on MT. Why?

Do you know "Koinobori"?

2010-04-10T09:00:37Z

   We have two kinds of traditional children day a year. One is for girls and is called "Hina Matsuri(雛祭り)" on 3rd of March. The other is for boys and is called "Tango no Sekku(端午の節句)" on 5th of May. We display a lot of kind dolls called "Hinaningyo(雛人形)" in the house on the girl's day and we set up "Koinobori" as right-side shown in the garden on the boy's day.
   Now April. We can see a lot of "koinobori" all over the Japan.

   Btw, we have two school songs about "Koinobori" like this.

1.  こいのぼり　作詞：近藤宮子／作曲：不明
やねよりたかい　こいのぼり
    Yaneyori takai Koinobori
    おおきいまごいは　おとうさん

    Chiisai higoiwa kodomotachi
おもしろそうに　およいでる
    Omoshirosoni oyoideru

2. こいのぼり　作詞：不詳／作曲：弘田龍太郎
   甍（いらか）の波と　雲の波           Irakano namito kumononami
   重なる波の　中空（なかぞら）を   Kasanaru namino nakazorao
   橘（たちばな）かおる　朝風に    Tachibana kaoru asakazeni
   高く泳ぐや　鯉のぼり                 Takaku oyoguya koinobori

   開ける広き　其の口に                Hirakeru hiroki sonokuchini
   舟をも呑（の）まん　様見えて      Funeomo noman samamiete
   ゆたかに振（ふる）う　尾鰭（おひれ）には Yutakani furuu ohireniwa
   物に動ぜぬ姿あり                         Mononi dozenu sugataari

   百瀬（ももせ）の滝を　登りなば              Momoseno takio noborinaba
   忽（たちま）ち竜に　なりぬべき              Tachimachi ryuuni narinubeki
   わが身に似よや　男子（おのこご）と       Wagamini niyoya onokogoto
   空に躍るや　鯉のぼり                         Sorani odoruya koinobori

Please someone, translate these songs, ha!! :-)

Rakusho no Goku -- 落照の獄
(A jail of the declining Light)

By Ono Fuyumi -- 小野不由美

Translated by o6asan

   "Shikei(司刑), because you have serious time now, sir."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) was recruited as a country official, and his attitude to Eiko(瑛庚) changed. Hogetsu(蒲月) is Kyukei-ho(宮卿補) of Tenkan(天官), and it is an assistant to Kyukei(宮卿) who manages system and rules of the palace. He is Chu-shi(中士) which is one of the lowest classes of country officials, and Eiko(瑛庚) is Shikei(司刑) of Shukan(秋官). It's Ka-taifu(下大夫) which belongs to high-level officials.
   While pouring hot water into their tea-cups, Hogetsu(蒲月) said.
   "My sister was offended."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) considers Seika(清花) as his sister. She is his grandfather's wife actually, but she looks his elder sister.
   "She said you, Shikei(司刑), would be going to excuse Shudatsu(狩獺)."
   "I didn't mean it...... What I wanted to say is difficult to explain."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) saw Eiko(瑛庚) as if asking. Eiko(瑛庚) smiled wryly.
   "I said we shouldn't judge Shudatsu(狩獺) only by emotion. To begin with, Shudatsu(狩獺)'s trial has not started yet. Certainly, it is my work that finally provides the punishment, but, we need to discuss it enough with Tenkei(典刑) and Shishi(司刺) before judging. It is not at the stage for a conclusion yet, and it's hardly possible for me to leak it even if in my mind.
   "...... You're right, sir."
   Hogetsu(蒲月) looked at him inquiringly though nodding. Eiko(瑛庚) shook his head, and terminated the talk. Eiko(瑛庚) asked questions about Bo-shu(茅州) and his father of Hogetsu(蒲月) just back from traveling, but he didn't care the conversation indeed. He had very much on his mind.
   It would be in the right that Seika(清花) told him to execute Shudatsu(狩獺). It's not only Seika(清花). Most of the people said so, and Eiko(瑛庚) heard that. Even Eiko(瑛庚) didn't personally have the objection. However, he felt some hesitation for the capital punishment as a judicial officer. Officials of High Court sent the appeal to Supreme Court because they had hesitated similarly.
   It's not a problem of Shudatsu(狩獺). -- The problem is that the capital punishment has been stopped for 100 years or more since the present Ruler of Ryu(劉王) took the throne in Ryu(柳).
   Even if a criminal is very brutal, the criminal is a penal servitude for life or perpetual imprisonment. The capital punishment doesn't exist in the practical though it exists in the juridical. It has always been so.
   "What is Shujo(主上)'s instruction?"
   Asked by him, Eiko(瑛庚) startled back. Though Hogetsu(蒲月) was in front of him, he seemed to have been lost in thought. Hogetsu(蒲月) smiled embarrassedly.
   "It is Shujo(主上) that decided to avoid the capital punishment, isn't it? How about Shujo(主上)'s intention?"
   Starting to say, Eiko(瑛庚) shut his trap quickly. The tea-cup completely cooled was in his palm.
   "Please forgive me if I go beyond my powers. However, no matter what I hear, I will never tell others."
   Said softly by him, Eiko(瑛庚) released a sigh. Though Hogetsu(蒲月) was Kyukei-ho(宮卿補) then, he advanced through the ranks in the future because he graduated Daigaku(大学) and was promoted as a country official. Thus, he thought that consenting to Shudatsu(狩獺)'s matter was necessary for Hogetsu(蒲月) and that it's Hogetsu(蒲月) if someone understood it.
   "...... It's not sure."
   "Not sure, sir?"
   Eiko(瑛庚) nodded.
   "It is Shujo(主上) that decided to avoid the capital punishment. But the judgment of both District Court and High Court is the capital punishment, -- We don't follow it but have to consider it. I hear Shujo(主上) said that he would leave it to Shiho(司法) when Shiho(司法) asked Shujo(主上)'s intention."

One of WordPress plug-in "SimilarPost"

2010-04-03T05:51:43Z

   WordPress has a lot of plug-ins. I'm interested in one of them named "SimilarPost". It automatically searches and displays some related posts in my blog. Last night, I made the Japanese localization of the plug-in complete.

   "SimilarPosts" had the pot file but it did not work very well, and its preparation for localization was not completed, so I had a little bit difficulty. My number one problem is that I really don't understand 'php' and 'gettext'. ;-)
   I lost my drive gradually because I had to learn a lot about them. But I asked Rob who is this plug-in's author, "Do you still want the files though they are not complete?", he replied "yes". Then I felt uplifted again. Such a tractor thing is necessary for every motivation.

   When I finished SimilarPosts's localization, I still had some English parts in it because it worked by PostPluginLibrary's assist. As it made me sick, I ended up localizing PostPluginLibrary. This was more difficult because its condition was more ...... well, it's all in the past now. :-)

   I haven't uploaded the localization file at my Japanese blog yet. The reason is my mo file doesn't work in the plug-in (version 2.6.2.0) until Rob renews the files. Perhaps, I hope Rob bundles it to the next zip.

The time of cherry blossoms in this year.

2010-03-29T13:02:21Z

   This year's cherry blossoms have become in full bloom on this weekend. There is very very small lovely shrine I haven't noticed on my way home to or from work. Today, the cherry blossoms in full bloom color the small shrine in white-pink light.

   Nowadays, cherry blossoms for us, it is Someiyoshino(染井吉野) obviously. But it's taken only 150 years since its appearance. We haven't a lot of old trees of Someiyoshino. It makes all areas white-pink because flowers become full-bloomed before leaves go out. They look like haze by a distant view.

   In general, the smell of cherry blossoms is weak. It is a big difference between them and Japanese plum blossoms that are not distinguished easily from a distance. Personally, I prefer Japanese plum blossoms. That smell is comfortable for me.

   However, the utility pole in this picture is terrible and obstructive. ;-}

Origami animals.

2010-03-26T17:11:02Z

   Since last autumn, I've made some kind of paper animals by a little necessity. Several years earlier, if I wanted to do so, I should have learned them from someone, looked for books, or thought how to make them by myself. But these convenient days, I can find a lot of kinds on the net.

   Among them, I used these six. Can you tell me what they are? Great? Actually, the center of them is a cat. But most of my friends said it's a dog. :-p

   They are wonderful, aren't they? They are not Japanese traditional origami but new ones which someone invented. We only sighed when looking the highest level origami, but these six are great in another way because even an ordinary elementary school child can make them.

   The size of paper is the same as the rabbit and the elephant. So, the completion became a biiiiiiiiiig rabbit and a smaaaaaaaaaall elephant.

Edit : The reference sites are as follows.
rabbit：：penguin：：elephant：：cat：：camel：：giraffe

I found this on the net. The arthur is a junior high school student by his own comment.
I think he was very fun while making this.

[turizuki diary]Security is tested with 100 malwares

About MS security essentials, I laughed in spite of myself while watching this. It's their odd job, right?
And, do you think some of paid software there have no rights that take money? :-}
I want to know about others, but I applaud the fruit of his hard work. clap clap clap.
