Contact

• Primary email: matt@mattmccutchen.net .  You are always welcome to email me.  I strive to address specific, personally relevant mail promptly.  Chatty mail is harder for me to handle, and mere requests for help (with software or otherwise) may or may not get a response according to my priorities.  If you think I'm mistakenly ignoring your mail, you can remind me, but please be polite.
• Also me: hashproduct@gmail.com [deprecated], hashproduct(at)verizon.net [no longer works].
• My GPG key.  I sometimes sign my email with this key, and you are welcome to send me email encrypted with it.  Valid signatures from this key are not intended to be binding, legally or otherwise.  Last change: On 2008-06-13, I added a user ID for rmccutch@cs.umd.edu .
• My Facebook profile.
• My phone number and postal address are not public information.  Email me if you want them.

Web site

• This site, mattmccutchen.net, is the primary source for my news and projects.  I also host files and applications here for specific audiences; you'll know if this is you.
• Please understand that this site is a means to the end of disseminating information, and I do not consider keeping the content here up to date to be an end in itself.  As a result, any particular thing you find here may no longer be accurate or representative of my current work or opinions.  I encourage you to bear with me and make use of what you can, and to email me if you would like a status update on anything here.  If you use the "Email me about this page" link at the top or bottom of the page, the subject will be automatically prefixed to indicate the page you were on.
• This site supports https (https://mattmccutchen.net) with a domain-control certificate from a public CA; I would like to thank the UMD CS tennis group for covering the cost of the certificate and related Web hosting expenses.  I'm not entirely happy with the current PKI and might prefer something like YURLs, but for now, playing along appears to be the pragmatic way to protect my users.  In case you don't trust the PKI, I have signed the certificate fingerprints with my GPG key.
• I intend to make this site as secure as reasonably possible from compromise of both my server/applications and my users (XS* attacks).  Use of https is encouraged but (for now) not mandatory.  The client configuration I support for full protection is Firefox 3.* with NoScript >= 1.9.1.2 set to force https on mattmccutchen.net and *.mattmccutchen.net but no requirements on the other NoScript settings.  If you can suggest a security improvement or believe you have found a vulnerability, please tell me.  I am in the late stages of a major security campaign as of 2009-03-23 and may post more information as it is convenient.
