Getting hold of me
(This information can be found in machine-readable FOAF format in my FOAF file. You can browse it using FOAF Explorer.)
My email address is <ats@offog.org>.
Since I don't believe in making other peoples' lives harder because of spammers, I publish my real address and use passive spam filtering software. I would, however, very much appreciate it if you don't actively give my address to companies, especially if they're based in countries such as the US that don't have data protection legislation. Please don't use "send this page to a friend" forms and similar things. Doing so confirms that it's a valid address and makes it much more valuable to sell to spammers.
If you want to send me encrypted mail (for instance, using GnuPG), my public key, ID
B94D2E95, is available from keyservers such as
pgpkeys.mit.edu.
Phone
My mobile phone number is +44 7930 250969. It's usually turned off during the day, but you can leave a message.

XMPP
My XMPP identifier is azz@jabber.org.uk.
(If you're not sure what XMPP is, it's the open protocol that services
like Jabber and Google Talk use.)
