• 以前学部学生さんむけに書いた雑多な文章はこちら。情報は古くなっているのでご注意ください。
• 博士論文執筆の際にお願いしたいことおよび(博士/修士/普通の)論文執筆の際にお願いしたいこと、その二 なるものも書きました。発表のときに気をつけたらよいことも書きました。勉強から研究へというのも書きました。

• I maintain unofficial pages hosting slides presented at past Strings conferences.

• I was the webpage maintainer of an online seminar series "East Asian Strings" in the first two years of the covid pandemic. The content of East Asian String Webinar Series is archived here.

• I wrote an instruction how to use git with Overleaf so that you can work locally on your computer a TeX project hosted on Overleaf.

• I wrote an instruction of how you can post a Chinese/Japanese/Korean TeX file to the arxiv.

• I made a small program spires.app to manage PDF files downloaded from arxiv.org.

• I ported MenuMeters to El Capitan and later.

• I wrote a small program which plays sound whenever you type the keyboard. You will be making a spontaneous piece of music whenever you write anything on your Mac.
