I need to have your number saved in my contacts in order to receive calls from you on my mobile phone. This is so that I avoid spam.
If you phone me, please do not hang up before the phone rings off! I sometimes need time to get ready for the call (for example, by plugging in my earphones).

I have different email addresses, all protected with 2FA:

• Public / informal work:  hello@aidanhorn.co.za

• Economics / professional domain  (on LinkedIn and my CV).  Uses Google Workspace; hello@aidanhorn.co.za  is an alias on the same user.

• Codera email address: aidan@codera.co.za

• Personal / banking / family / friends / trusted apps.  ("Newer Gmail address"; where I use Google One personally.)

• Old Gmail address, used for accounts.  (Gets spam.)

Inspirational Quotes

Matthew 7:1–5  (NRSV)

“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye.”
