Semantic Spam-Proof Email Display

Posted by Juice10 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 12:56:00 GMT

After deleting quite a bit of spam from my inbox I came up with a semantic way of displaying email addresses on a HTML page.

The concept is very simple, you add text within a <del> element to an email address needs to be removed from in order to show the real address.

Example

Your email address is: nobody@example.com Then you would add some text to scramble the email address from spam engines: nscrableobody@examscrableple.coremovem

To make sure that people can still see what the real address is wrap the fake text in the <del> element: n<del>scrable</del>obody@exam<del>scrable</del>ple.co<del>remove</del>m This would give you the following: nscrableobody@examscrableple.coremovem

This makes it quite hard to read even for the person wanting your email address. So to simplify this we could do two things:

# just add one bit of fake text to it: nobody@removeexample.com # make sure the <del> element is hidden. This can be done multiple ways. You could add an inline style tag to the <del> element: <del style="display:none"></del>. Or you could give it a class: <del></del> and add a little snippet of CSS to your page/css file: 
.fake_email_text {
  display: none;
}

The great thing about all this is that screen readers will not read the text that is not being displayed by the CSS.

Microsoft has officially annouced their “iPod killer” and it is really ugly!

I'm off to the UK (vacation)

Posted by Juice10 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 23:16:00 GMT

spacer The next 3 weeks I’ll be off on vacation in the UK. I am bringing my iBook but I’m not going to check it as fanatically as I normally do (don’t expect a fast response for your email while I’m gone).

If anyone knows of any rails/web standards meetings that will be held in the UK (around London preferably) please let me know!

In the mean time if your running Typo like I am, upgrade to Typo 4.0.

I will be doing so when I get back from holiday.

Rails workshop in Amsterdam

Posted by Juice10 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 09:37:00 GMT

spacer David Black is teaching a one day Rails workshop in Amsterdam. This will be held at september the 18th and will cost € 399 for the early birds and € 500,000,000 € 449 for the slow people.

I think these are very reasonable prices for such a great workshop. As most of your average workshops are € 500 a day and don’t have a world famous, top-of-the-line teacher.
