I may be fighting a losing battle here, but I’m trying to keep my email address hidden from the spambots’ trawlers. To that end, I’m not going to provide a mailto link, or even list my email address here for you to contact me. Instead, here are a number of different ways that any human (but hopefully no robots) should be able to read.

I recently realized that this probably excludes blind viewers with screen-reading software. My apologies! You can contact me by phone at five ten eight four seven six five two six!

Let me know which of these is your favorite, if there were any that were unclear/stupid, or if you have any other suggestions for me.

Here it is all scrambled up and pieced back together using CSS layout directives:

(Read it from the bottom up.)

And in case you can’t view an image, you’re not a l33t h4x0r, couldn’t make sense of the figlet, and your browser messed up the CSS layout above, (you’ve gone through all this; you must really want to email me!) here’s a last-ditch fool-proof method: I’ll just tell you in humanspeak how to email me. Take the domain name of this site (without the ‘www’), and stick my first name on the front of it with an ‘@’.

Or, if you are a spammer, you can mail me at evil@black.doorstop.net. Real people beware: sending to this address will automatically add you to my blacklist, so don't do that.

I’d really appreciate any bug reports or feature requests relating to this web site, but you can also send me random chatter as well or ask me any questions about anything. Use your imagination; that’s what it’s there for.

Whatever you decide to send me, do encrypt it with my key.
