I’ve been busy researching how to securely send e-mails from this web site and I have found a clever little plugin that does just what I want.

The Contact page has a form that will be e-mailed to me when correctly submitted. It uses spam protection to check your name and e-mail address against known spammers and also a check that you are human by typing in characters from an image.

It’s a shame that it is not safe to just post an e-mail address on a web site, but that’s the nature of the Internet.

If you know my e-mail (and it’s not hard to guess if you are already on this site - here’s a clue: paul at …) then you can also get in touch via instant messenger. My e-mail address is also my ID for Jabber and MSN Messenger.

The same details should also work for direct VoIP calling if you have a VoIP provider that allows you to call direct. No surprises that BT Openworld is not one of these. You could try Ekiga.net as a free alternative.

I have UK and Australian phone numbers - drop me an e-mail or IM for details.

Talk to you soon!
