Good bye, U-Page+

It was before 2000 when I released my on-line page for the first time. The home page was regarding Ramen noodles, named "ラーメン探偵団", where guests could ask me to research Ramen shops. I assessed the shop and made comments, such as "The taste is good, but the temperature of the soup is too hot." or "I hate the bathroom because it's dirty." Looking back, I may have to apologize to the owners of the Ramen shops for my critical criticism. I am pretty sorry that the page, even the archive, was no longer available; the server run by SONY was closed more than ten years ago.

The day before yesterday, U-Page+, a web service also provided by SONY, was shut down for unknown reasons. A home page for Kusunoki-Satsuki Cardiac Conference had been there since around 2010, as shown below.



I move the homepage to the server run by the hospital that I work for, Matsushita Memorial Hospital or Panasonic hospital. The design is identical except for the lack of the visit counter.

I cannot complain U-Page+ since it had worked as a server during a period of over ten years without advertisements. Many thanks, U-Page+, for the service where I have learned a lot about how to create and manage digital content.
