It's been a while ...
... a while since I wrote my last introduction thread in a forum, and, actually, a while since I visited geekhack.
I recall visiting this site a few times three years ago, when I got into the whole "mechanical keyboard" thing and then bought a SteelSeries 7G (MX Blacks).
After three years I now switched to a Leopold Tactile Touch (MX Browns), because I do much more typing then gaming these days, and thought it would be nice to get a bit deeper into the whole matter. Hence I created this account. :)
To my person: 22 years old, living in Germany, studying 'Computer Networking'.
More info and stuff on my website (http://www.tareksaier.bplaced.net/) (don't worry, it's in English, not German ^^)
I might add that my interests include but are not limited to: penspinning, speedcubung, flourishing, Linux, IT security, physical security, lockpicking, mechanical keyboads, parkour, slacklining, tricking, urban exploration, anime, Japanese language, kyogi karuta, philosophy and typography. So if your into any of those I'm quite likely to enjoy talking to you. ;)

Welcome to Geekhack!

Yeah... I have no clue what half of them are! I think "tricking" may have a different meaning in your country than here in the US. I'm (almost) positive you aren't a hooker. :P
Welcome (back) to GH.

Welcome to GH..HIDE YO WALLET!!!!

Tricking can mean that? Haha, nice. :D
But well ... that's like the internationally used name for it. You migh say martial arts tricking, but most simply say tricking.
It looks like that:
Sadly I'm not skilled in it at all. Only can do some simple stuff. I'm mainly into Parkour concerning acrobatic stuff.
And since I'm pretty sure no one knows what penspinning exactly is (and since, in the case of penspinning, I can show videos of myself ^^):
Welcome to GH..HIDE YO WALLET!!!!
heh ... I like instantly searched all vendor sites I could find links to in the forum and already ordered new custom keycaps :D
and thanks for the nice welcome everybody ;)

Ah... so tricking is taking gymnastics, breaking, skateboarding, snowboarding, etc moves and linking them together. Falls in a similar category to parkour but just on flat ground. And penspinning is practicing your dexterity while sitting on your arse.
All this means is that I'm getting old and out of the "loop" on terminology. :D
Thanks for the lessons!

Welcome to GH ! :)
Ah, I'd really like to start learning Japanese, unfortunately I must wait for some more years before having some time to do that :(

If you regularly have to take the train or bus to get somewhere or have some other idle time like every day: use that to learn Kana. They're not that much (compared to Kanji) and enable you to read (or: at least know how to pronounce — translating is another story) simple texts. :)

I've chance right now as I leave 5/10 mins of walk far from my school, so no time to learn anything.
But I'll definitely take some time during the week-ends if I can.
Thanks :)
