My first purchase on Steam.

I installed Steam (a multi-function game platform) nearly a year ago, because I needed it to play one of my favorite games - Civiliation5. Since then I have been using Steam nearly everyday to play Civilization5 and check the information and news about the games I am interested in. Though I found myself like Steam more and more and sometimes thought it could be really convenient to but some games on Steam, I had never purchased anything until yesterday.

Yesterday, as usual I checked Steam to see if there's some new games I might be interested in, and in the adventure game genre, a game with very beautiful cartoon pictures happened to come to my notice. Since I was a high school boy I've played a bunch of Japanese adventure games and they did not only give me a lot of fun but also helped me a lot with my Japanese. To the contrast, thought I love English language and English games, I barely played any English adventure game. So I decided it's time to give it a try and purchased the cartoon-like adventure game I mentioned above, and its name is - Runaway.

Runaway seemed to be a famous series and I purchased a package which contains all the released games in this series in order to get the discount which is said to be able to save me 60% of the money.

After the purchase by credit card, I immediately downloaded the Runaway series and started to play. Though I've just played the first game - A Road Adventure - for several hours, I can already tell that this series is really to my taste and worth the $50 I payed (especially at such a time when Yen is at its strongest level against US dollar).

取得信息安全专家资格

今天是日本信息技术国家资格考试的合格者公告日。
我以平均成绩80多分的成绩通过了一个多月前参加的信息安全专家考试，如愿以偿的取得了第二个专家资格。很是高兴！

能够取得这一日本最高级别的信息技术的国家资格，应该归功于以下几点。

（1）从学生时代起就一直对诸如网络黑客啊，网站被黑啊等信息安全方面的新闻比较感兴趣的我，在进公司后担当某门户网站的安全诊断案件逾两年里积累了不少Web程序上的安全隐患及对策相关的经验。

（2）去年考取计算机网络专家资格时打下的坚实的网络相关知识基础。

（3）利用育儿假的最后一个多星期，把过去两年的真题认真的做了一遍。

（4）爸爸妈妈的支持，小猫小兔的激励。
