I heard Principality of Sealand invites the buyer of their governance.

Principality of Sealand is established in 1967, Roy Bates, a former Major of Royal Army gained control of abandoned man-made off-shore installation named Roughs. It had been as a fortress, so there is no shore reef. Their only territory is the deck which is on 4 stays stand on the bottom of the sea. No nations still recognize Sealand as a independent nation. That is to say, it's self-styled nation. Their territory is just as large as basket ball court. The population is 4, and they have 14 government staff.

After their "independence", an interesting thing had happen. The British government went to law against Roy, to ban him and his family, and to get back the control of Roughs. But the law court rejected. Because that sea area was out of British governance at the moment. It can be said, one of the royal organization recognized Sealand as a nation.
# Following current international law, Sealand is inside British sea area.

They have an interesting policy in economics. It is a pricipality, so it's under the aristocracy. And they sell their peerages in the Internet. I heard one of peerages costs 5,000 yen or so.

The principality suffered from a disaster last year. Their old power generator caught fire, and their deck... no, their island was been in flame for a while. They are already recovered, but this disaster got national economy down. After that, they let their peerages on sale, 10% off.

To tell the truth, I and some of my colleagues talked about buying their peerage. How do you think if you and your colleagues speak noble conversations, like "Sir, how does your plan go on your job?" and "Load, please copy the documents for the meeting which begins 15:30" ? What can be more interesting scene we can have?

But because of difficulties in their long-range plan, they decided to sell their governance. Now the future of principal is totally unknown. I extended to buy their peerage any way.

...Ah, the solution is to buy their governance, right?

Because of boredom, I went to Osaka Temmangu Shrine with some colleagues. After the 3rd of Jan., stalls had gone and they left kind of solitariness. But it was not so bad because there wasn't crowded.

A fortune slip, it told me I would get bad luck. If I write it like security advisories, Bad luck (level 6 of 7). It said it's not my time to get married / I would work hard, but less profit. Errrmm, what's the difference from my life I've lived?

What a helpless advisory... I tried another one after I came back, I asked computer to get "fortune-telling of animals" (is it popular among western people, too?) It said my animal is racoon dog. Though I am ketsune (fox). After the coming summer, my fortune would go better. It suggested the best season of my life, it was when I was 10 years old. Thirties, it's my current season, my fortune gets better. But the start point is the bottom of luck, so my best of this season is only the middle way to the highest.

I saw unfairness.

I bought a couple of amulets. One of them, the amulet of achieve is for myself. And I put another one on my server, the amulet against devil. I'm not in the critical age, though my zodiac sign is same on the one for this year.

I'm trying some regular expressions for NP_Blacklist. My current task is kicking out the spams which are instances of URIs.

At first, I tried to ban if 4 or more lines contain URI strings. So I wrote:

(http://.+$){4,}

I got an error. I'm not sure what was wrong, even after I tried some other expressions.

(http://.+(\r|\n|\r\n)){4,}
(http://.+(\x0d|\x0a|\x0d\x0a)){4,}

Still I got errors though I changed .+ to .*, nor {4,} to {4}.

(ppp){4,}

This one worked. Hmm, I can't get it.

(Good|Nice) site. Thank

Still trackback spams are so active. I added the following regular-expression into NP_Blacklist.

(Good|Nice) site. Thank

You don't have to say my site is good and nice, coz everybody already knows it. It goes without saying :-P
I guess I should add 'Cool site' and such kind of phrases. Maybe these phrases following 'Very' at the beginning of lines, too.

Is it welcomed if I teach about regular-expressions for NP_Blacklist?

A happy new year, mates! Yes, I know what a salute after my long time no being here though...

I'm gonna go to Yoshinoya, to eat curry as my first meal of this year. After that, I may go to shrine, following Japanese trad in new year's days. It would be nice to take midnight train of Keihan line. The last time I took it was 17 years ago.

BTW, I will record how many plates of curry I eat, and how much I pay for it. Guess how, I'll report how it goes, constantly.

Well, I miss people especially the guys whom I couldn't see last year. I hope to visit you soon. Have nice holidays! ;-)

I'd called myself kitsune.info as nick in the 'Net for an age, since I found domain-name can't collide with another one's nick. But I didn't know that I lost my domain itself! After that, my domain moved to ketsune.net, and I renamed myself after my new domain. But I thought it's not cool as a musician's nick. So I renamed myself again, it's my nick as a musician.

So my nick is K.T.Fox from now on. Call me this one guys.

Well, still you can call me ketsune as ever -- it's quite an Osakan-way, and I also like to be called in this way though.

To tell the truth, I renamed myself for the western people, because it's much easier to call me. My real name is hard to pronounce for them, and I have had some troubles with it. I guess ketsune's pronounciation is hardly ever seen among Latin and Angro-Saxon's linguistic families. That's why I renamed myself more simply, and easier to call.
