A Quick E-mail Post

Zekta is a brilliant programmer. He set up this blog beautifully, and I know that one of the reasons I wanted to write on this blog initially (beyond the excellent analysis) was actually the way the blog looks. Have you actually looked at the blog? See how he set it up- the narrow text area, the use of open space, the muted tones to contrast with the header. Stop, right now, and look at it, if you haven’t already done so. It’s easy to read and not distracting. The text? It’s right there, in a slightly larger and darker font than you need it to be so you can see it. The left-column? It’s open. The right? It displays what he wants it to, but you have to look at it, meaning it won’t drag your eye off the content of whatever article you’ve written. In short, it’s exactly what I like in a blog.

I, on the other hand, am decidedly not a computer programmer. In fact, if it was p3pbybigjimm.net, it’d probably look like this.

ANYWAY, this is my round-about way of saying that I now have an e-mail address, and I’m not sure how to display it properly. I think I’ve got it set, but in the interest of thoroughness, I’m putting it here:

Bigjimm@p3p.net (*cough* Let’s try this again. I’m telling you, I’m new to this stuff. But I digress…)

Bigjimm-at-phase3profit-dot-net

There you go. Now, please read the following before you e-mail: you’re much better off putting a comment in an article I’ve written if you want me to see something. I don’t check this e-mail often, and I just generally prefer the open nature of comments. But if you’d like to e-mail me, please feel free. As this is new to me, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to answer all of them. (I probably will be able to- I’ll find time for all three of you, I swear!) But I’ll read them all, and thanks in advance for taking the time to comment and/or send an e-mail.

GL! /bow

    My guess is that if you were a computer programmer, then you would never, ever, ever put your email address here in a format that automated programs can harvest for spam or what not. Something like this, including a <mailto link, would have been normal 12-15 years ago. Alas, that sort of things stresses the spam filters these days.

    Bigjimm AT p3p.net or an image might reduce your spam. It is a tradeoff; making things easier for users or CAPTCHAs and such to keep out the annoying.

      Thanks for the note :)

      As a matter of fact,
      Bigjimm@p3p.net is not his email….
      (We don’t own p3p.net anyhow :P )

      I had mail him about that as well, since I guess he intentionally to leave it that way

      So Here is another reminder, for anyone really want to send BigJimm mail, please translate the p3p.net into our real site name :)

      (I’ll put the new mail into my email graphic on the right side when I had time, keep forgetting about it :S )

      Hagu, you’re right, and Zekta, you’re right too. So, I did just copy and paste my e-mail address, and I’ll fix it in the post. Thanks for making sure I don’t get slammed spam, for growing “4 1nchE5″ and from Nigerian kings in exile, for example.
