Title: Is Samuel L Gilbert around still
Post by: Amiduffer on June 12, 2010, 10:15:08 AM: I've located a Mod by Sam Gilbert that I think would go good for a soundtrack to one of my video projects. Does anyone know how to reach him or has he disappeared from the scene altogether.

Post by: Amiduffer on June 12, 2010, 09:26:32 PM: What is his website?

Whoops, his email bounced.

Post by: rvo_nl on June 12, 2010, 10:14:04 PM: I'm quite positive that its http://www.metempsychosis.com/orpheus/

Post by: x303 on June 12, 2010, 11:30:48 PM: On the site there is a statement saying:
"It's officially been 5 years since our last post, so we might as well come clean: Metempsychosis has ceased to exist!"
So that might be the reason the email bounced.

Well. here's what it sounds like, as used in a modern video. Recycling is fun!

To hide your email from spam bots, you can hide your address inside a little bit of javascript. It also helps to write your address in ascii codes for a further layer of protection. Most modern browsers can read javascript and convert ascii codes, so they see the address just fine. But spam bots are not that advanced. Certainly, my address has been free of spam for a very long time!

Like this:

Code: [Select]
<td rowspan="36" class="textblock"><p>To get in touch you can email me by clicking on the link below. </p> <p><a href='javascript:window.location="&#109&#97&#105&#108"+"&#116&#111&#58"+"&#115&#105&#116&#101"+"&#109&#97&#105&#108"+"&#64"+"&#98&#114&#105"+"&#97&#110&#104&#111&#115&#107"+"&#105&#110&#115"+"."+"co."+"uk";' onmouseover='window.status="mail"+"to:"+"site"+"mail"+"@"+"bri"+"anhosk"+"ins"+"."+"co."+"uk"; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>Click here to send me mail.</a></p>Also, if you have your own domain name, it can help to set up an email address purely for website email which then forwards to your real email address. This way, if the site address ever goes bad, you just change it to something different and setup the email forwarding again.

I suppose a simpler method is to write your email address as an image, but then you lose the ability to make it a clickable link.

AH.
