Five for Friday – October 2 2020

This year has been a great ten years. Here’s some stuff to share.

  • Probably a repeat from a few years ago, but this site (and ABTesting) are hosted by chemicloud (affiliate link). Nearly 3 years into using them for hosting, and they haven’t dropped a step. I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for support.
