Last week one of my acquaintances, who studies English at the same English school as mine and whose English is much better than mine even though whose age is on the wrong side of 60, asked me if there are good applications to watch Japan's TV programs from other countries.
Actually, one of his relatives lives in Australia and wants to watch our country's TV programs, because she misses Japan. He sometimes send some VHS-format videos to her by airmail, but he said that the way looks old-fashioned. I think so, too. :)
So he has tried some "Remote Desktop Applications" before, but he has never done well from what I know of it.
This week a new excellent software for Skype, which was developed based on "Voice over IP" technology and which is one of the most famous and popular Internet tools in the world as you know, has just been unveiled. It's called "どこでもTVパック for Skype", literally translated into English as "Everywhere TV package for Skype" maybe.
Let me tell him about that later. :D

Hi Plow,
Sorry for not commenting more.. I have been busy.
Anyhow, I have never heard "on the wrong side of an age."
Usually, people will say that someone is "over the hill" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_hill).
Age 40 is considered "the hill," and it is a joke in many ways.
But of course, there is a saying that "age is just a number" :)
"on the wrong side of" = over because aging is viewed as bad. People want to be and to remain young. "over" is used instead of "on the wrong side of" ("over" is very simple to say!).
Hey jd,
You don't have to say sorry. You always give me lots of useful information.
I have never heard of the phrase, "over the hill" before. But I can imagine the meaning easily. Interesting! Japanese people say "峠を越している(とうげをこしている)". Very similar!
I'm already over the hill.....
And "age is just a number" sounds great, optimistic, and postive to me!
According to my English teacher, the opposite phrase of "on the wrong side of" is "on the right side of". So I can say I'm on the right side of 50. :)
I love your website. It has a lot of great pictures and is very informative.
