The Voices are Talking (in the ether)

but they're using a foreign language!!!!!

Last night I had some stuff for work to do at home, so when I left work, I left my work computer, including my IM sessions, running. As it turns out, my VPN and remote desktop tool were being annoying and difficult last night, so I never was able to get my work done, nor was I able to connect to my work computer at home.

When I got back in to work this morning, I found this Instant Message waiting for me:

[08:07] duydung3: ko vao duoc hom thu [Offline Message (Fri Oct 19 04:11:05 2007)]

Not only do I not know who duydung3 is, I have no idea what "ko vao duoc hom thu" means, or even what language it is! Though, I'd guess Southeast Asian -- Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc.

OK, memo to the voices in the ether: If you're going to communicate with me, PLEASE use a language that I can speak, or at least identify so I can use babelfish to interpret it!
