Oh the irony. When you sent that to me, all of three days ago, I was
sitting at home in Box Hill. Now I'm back in China. I've just spent
two months back home, but unfortunately I ran out of time and just
didn't have enough time to visit anyone. Which means I missed out on
visiting you. Sorry!

Regarding Kartman, I only just had time to read his post, so I missed
meeting up with him. But I just replied in 'Freaks.

Indeed you did! After your excellent demonstration at CCHS, I gave it
a go myself, and wrote it up:

I've shown that to many people. I even gave you credit at the end!

Speaking of convincing people, it seems I've been unsuccessful in
convincing you to get your PCBs through me. Sad face! I have many
Australian customers who are enjoying the price and service.

BTW here are pics from a customer of the solder paste stencil I just sent him:

Ain't that a shiny thing?

And some more writeups from other customers using my boards:

Anyway, should you change your mind, here's everything you need to know:

I'll be back in mid-Jan, I'm up for meeting then!
