    |             _o/ Hello!                                              |

    |  Did you know that ssh sends all your public keys to any server     |
    |  it tries to authenticate to? You can see yours echoed below.       |
    |                                                                     |
    |  We tried to use that to find your GitHub username, but we          |
    |  couldn't :( maybe you don't even have GitHub ssh keys, do you?     |
    |                                                                     |
    |  By the way, did you know that GitHub publishes all users'          |
    |  ssh public keys and Ben (benjojo.co.uk) grabbed them all?          |
    |                                                                     |
    |  That's pretty handy at times :) But not this time :(               |
    |                                                                     |
    |                                                                     |
    |  P.S. This whole thingy is Open Source! (And written in Go!)        |
