Long time no see! And I have been very sorry for being a procrastinator. Because of my laziness, now I can’t access to the meeting recorded video anymore that Yukimasa-san kindly sent me more than 2 weeks ago. I have been absent from our regular meeting due to my severe backpain and much more demanding work at the current workplace. I was going to check the video and write a blog about the meeting held on September 4th.
So, the following one was just minutes.
