Main E-Mail Address

To avoid your message being accidentally taken for spam please put some meaningful words in the subject text to catch my attention. A message with a blank subject or text like "Hi" or whatever is not likely to get read.

Spare Address

I've registered the domain edavies.me.uk but currently only use it for experimental purposes and for minting URLs to identify non-network resources (namespaces and so on). Still, if it looks like there are long-term problems with my Nildram address listed above then it might be worth trying ed@edavies.me.uk.

Cryptography

In principle, I'm very much in favour of a lot more routine use of cryptography on the net. In practice, I've hardly used it at all, yet except for SSL. I've created myself a PGP (GnuPG) key pair and published it on the usual servers (well, I put it on pgp.mit.edu and fetched it back a minute or two later from subkeys.pgp.net) so it should be easily available. The details are:

ID 0xFE15D7CF
Fingerprint 6C2E 9D38 0F30 9D34 F2C3 82F3 E447 CE42 FE15 D7CF

Ideally, of course, you should get the public key from the key servers and verify the fingerprint with me personally so as not to rely on this site for the key and its verification. Still, here's the key in ASCII armoured form: edavies-pub-key.asc; if you use that then definitely check the fingerprint with me by another channel.

Now all I have to do is to get a few signatures on this key.

(By the way, I'm using the Enigmail plugin for Thunderbird.)

Skype

I have a Skype account (ed.davies) which I mostly used for instant messaging with a few people who use it a lot more than me for voice and video. (I used to use it for voice a lot a few years ago). I run the account with all the shields I know about up but if you think a contact would be worthwhile then let me know your Skype name by some other channel.

Twitter

I use Twitter a bit as @ed_davies.
