Saw the G'Day, looked at your location, then saw your personal text and was like :confused: Welcome!

If you don't mind me asking, have you lived in Australia before?

And perhaps more importantly, do you speak Korean? Could come in very handy in the world of keyboards! :)

Cheers for the welcome guys.

@jeroplane came to Oz as a refugee from Vietnam in 1980 when I was just a kid. I grew up in Sydney therefore the accent.  ;D
Unfortunately, I don't speak Korean :( also have forgotten alot of Vietnamese  :-[ These days it's mainly English and Greek[hack].

Welcome to Geekhack!

I also was confused with the salutation and then everything else.  Then I realised one of my Crystal Meth keycaps was not sitting straight, so I didn't feel as bad about it.  And that made about as much sense as anything else this morning so far ...

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I would suggest u stop typing on meth keycaps with your tongue, things might start making a lot more sense :p. But then again who wants to make sense of this chaos,in fact, I going to dip my caps in lsd and start typing with my tongue  :p

The emoticon you have used is very appropriate to the context of your post :)
