# w00t!
Thank yoooooooou! It's good to have feedback from peoples who don't know me and therefore aren't afraid I'll set the giant penguin on them.

The binary is ASCII - I was proud of myself for finding a converter.

I like you.

# I'm not sure what ASCII is but I liked it!
I especially liked that he thought in html tags. And the rabbit ones were good too.

# Nerdy *nods*
Jewhat is our affectionate nickname for Roy Wickenden who appears to be wearing a kippah when it is in fact a patch of darker hair on his otherwise grey head.

# He was one of my teachers.
We sort of got him kicked out of the college.

There were videos of him on youtube. This is where his alias "Jewhat" was formed.

But the college found out and threatened my friend with suspension if he didn't take it down.

# Basically
binary code translates into a character (letter, number, punctuation etc.) So that string of binary translates into "good, thanks!" Which is why he says that it is English...

Sorry, I'm being a personal-webcomic-bore!

# It's a bit more complicated than that
complicated can be read as boring...

EDIT: But you did say basically.. So I let you off.
