@y_matsuwitter: When a new wave comes, I just do all the research I can, move my hands around, make things, meet people, and form my own opinions and positions. This will make it clear how to move.

nishio There's a cap on the use of the API, and you have to submit an application and wait for review and approval before you can increase... shiumachi I see, so it looks like money alone won't solve the problem after all! ---
