Main E-Mail Address

ed@edavies.me.uk

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.

Old Address

I used to use Nildram for web hosting and email but they've made changes which make it awkward to update the web site there and I'm seriously concerned that they'll do similar things to make accessing e-mail difficult so I'm switching away. edavies@nildram.co.uk should continue to work for a while but it'd be better to use my new address from now on.

Twitter

I use Twitter a bit as @ed_davies.

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 up but if you think a contact would be worthwhile then let me know your Skype name by some other channel.

However, I'm thinking of deleting this account because of this.

WebId

For the purposes of the Semantic Web I intend to name myself http://edavies.me.uk/#ed. Must get round to marking up this page with RDFa and adding an appropriate rdfs:seeAlso link from the main index page here.

When OpenId is available for things like blog comments I like to use the service provided ndorprojexby LiveJournal where my user name is ed_davies and the corresponding OpenId is http://ed_davies.livejournal.com/.

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. [Updated 2011-12-26 to revoke/replace Nildram e-mail user ids.]

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