There are several ways of contacting me:
| How | Where | Contact By | What You Should Know |
| Phone | Cell | My life-line | This is the best way to reach me, by far. Ask me, and I'll give the number to you. Voice or text, this phone is essential to life today. I screen all incoming calls - I don't answer if I don't recognize the number. I will return your call if you leave a reasonable message. Talking on the phone is the channel with the greatest bandwidth, which is preferred. |
| Home | diewald at comcast dot net | I get a lot of email. Paradoxically, the more email I get, the less I respond. I just don't have time to get to it all. | |
| Black Hole | vortexofchaos at gmail dot com | I NEVER look at this email. It's
there for |
|
| Specialized | Rarely used | I have a couple of email addresses for very specific LARP and Writing purposes. I will give them to you if you need them. | |
| IM | Everywhere | Text my cell phone | My phone is almost always with me, or nearby. Texts are fast and easy, unless I'm on the road, when they get ignored. |
| Apple Messages | My phone number | Apple Messages go to my phone and my other iDevices. This is almost always a good way to reach me, especially when I'm up at Stupid O'Clock. Like now. | |
| Social Media | Discord | VortexOfChaos | This is frequently off, but I can be found in LARP-related, No Man's Sky-related, and SpaceX-related Discords. |
| NEVER EVER | I learned too much about Facebook when I was working in cybersecurity. That was before the Cambridge Analytica fiasco. Do yourself a favor. Get off Facebook ASAP! | ||
| Slack | Rarely Used | There used to be a time when Slack was king, but Discord has dethroned it. | |
| Other | None | There are other options, but I don't miss the "here's my life" kind of social media posting I used to do, now long ago and mostly forgotten. | |
| Video Conferencing | Discord | VortexOfChaos | This is also useful for virtual LARPing, so it works for video conferencing. |
| Remo | Uses email address | Less useful for virtual LARPing, given its usual technical glitches, but I do have an account with Remo. | |
| Skype | Jeff Diewald | This is a great way to talk face to face despite the distance, and I use it regularly. However, I do not leave it running, so use a different contact method to set up a Skype call. | |
| Zoom | Uses email address | Also useful for virtual LARPing. | |
| Coding | BitBucket | diewald | There are a few shared projects on BitBucket. |
| GitHub | diewald | There are also a couple of shared projects on GitHub. |
