I thought I’d better mention this because one or two people have been giving out the wrong e-mail address for me, and it could cause delays in getting your message through to me.

The e-mail address that I use for personal e-mail is the one that appears in the right hand sidebar on my blog (“thecooldude” address at james mckay dot net). This is the address that you should use for anything not related to my employment as it has survived three changes of job in the past five and a half years and is likely to remain stable for as long as the domain jamesmckay.net remains under my control.

Although my personal e-mail gets forwarded on to my GMail account, I don’t publicise my GMail address for two reasons. First, I’ve set it up to highlight e-mail which gets sent to my “official” personal address as warranting my special attention, so anything that goes direct to my GMail address instead runs the risk of getting lost in the torrent of newsletters, invoices, Facebook spam and other floccinaucities. Second, I am not making any commitment to using GMail for this purpose indefinitely, so one way or another, Your Mileage May Vary if you send mail direct to that address.

My work e-mail address should only be used for matters related to my work. Needless to say, my old e-mail addresses at my former employers (james.mckay@eurekastep.com and james.mckay@kingdomfaith.com) are ancient history and no longer reach me.
