Hi there fellow steemians, 

I'm been on this steemit platform for 2 weeks now, around 2 weeks at least.. but i've yet to introduce myself formally, and all i've been doing is to just play games and upload them using @dlive, so i thought maybe it's a good time for me to just briefly introduce myself to this world of cryptocurrency. 


So, to begin with, i think i'll stick to what i know best :
>"Hello World".
>#introduceyourself

Yeap, if you're familiar with "Hello World", you're probably a programmer like me... 
so 01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100001  to you.... lol, just kidding, who uses binary right? :p

(psst: if you're wondering, i simply just converted "hello!" into binary, don't trouble yourself finding out what i wrote XD)

Anyways, hello again... heh, my name is Clarence Cheong, and i'm from Malaysia, residing in the "silicon valley" of [Cyberjaya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberjaya). Currently, i'm in the midst of finishing up my Master's programme in the area of Video Analytics in Multimedia University. If you're interested, you can find out more [here](http://viprlab.github.io/).

Soooo.... Instead of writing my thesis, i'm writing this introductory post instead....

I was introduced to this platform by my childhood friend @danielwong, though i'm in the IT field, i didn't really take the time to find out more about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, but i guess it's really time to find out more and be one of the early adopters.

While i'd probably not be blogging much on this platform, i hope to find out more about what these technologies can do, and how it would affect me as a programmer as i dive in and play around with the steemit platform and all the technologies that surrounds it. 

Before i end this post, thanks for reading & welcoming me here... and yea, experiencing live streaming for the first time using dlive... (i think my streaming skills improved over the past few videos haha), do remember to leave a :+1: and :heart: and :star2: if you want to haha.. 

hmm, seems like the emoticons are not working here? Well, someone ought to put it in place then :p

Thanks for reading once again! Blessings & have a great week ahead!

(p/s: and oh, if you're wondering why my steemit handle is @brighttux .... stay tuned, maybe i'll write about it one day :p)
