You might consider emailing him. It's lonely in jail/prison. Suddenly everyone you thought were your closest friends don't speak a word to you again.

If you're lucky, you've got a wife or parents that'll write to you or take your calls.



Wow, I know you've been locked up, brother.

Nobody will take your call the second you step inside a jail. Best man at your wedding? He's not picking up, I promise you. Literally nobody will call you or write to you. You will get nothing except maybe from your mother. If you are married, forget it.

Humans only like to associate with success. Once you seem to be failing literally nobody will want to even speak to you.



Exploring the wasteland this song plays


I wanted to contact him to tell him that he was wrong (he got to the front page without using any of his proposed techniques [1]) but I couldn’t find the e-mail. I have no LinkedIn either; right now I almost feel like submitting an issue to one of his github repos just to get his attention. Can you point me to his e-mail address?

I got it from his GitHub page:

https://github.com/PThorpe92

His email is preston@unlockedlabs.org


Even if someone doesn't have a public email address on their GitHub profile, you can generally find a routable one in their commit messages. A corollary is you shouldn't use a non-public email address in your commit messages.
