The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@crgeary @Netlify Yeah, that split test cookie thing is not so much of a feature and more of a crafty use of the building blocks we have. When I heard how my fellow @Netlify-ers used that feature I just had to share.

@crgeary @Netlify I see. I'm afraid that this is not something we support at present. It's an interesting idea but there is quite a bit to consider behind the scenes for this. Maybe one day, but I'd not for the moment.

@crgeary @Netlify I'm not sure I quite understand the question.. "target a split test via an HTTP header" ?

@oliverturner oooh. It's on March 19th. Let me take a look at the meetup site to see if I messed something up with some of the automated settings.

Thanks for the heads up!

@davatron5000 Agree that tests running long term can get fiddly. I think that A/B tests should always have sensible lifespans for sensible measurement & iterations. But I've had a few comments along those lines.

@davatron5000 Yeah, the fact that both versions are served under prod conditions is crucial for fair measurements. I got pretty excited about this.

But how to track the results? @Netlify can expose the underlying branch name to Google Analytics thanks to an environment variable and some post-processing.

Quick to set up:

@una, @chrisdhanaraj Related to my enthusiastic handwaving yesterday about A/B testing with @Netlify ... it's rather fun and easy to do this, and then go further and create a "opt in" UI for Snazzy New Features™ on your site. Like this:

@RyanTownsend Thanks Ryan! That means a lot to me. I'm still very new to this video lark.

I'm recording these with a Marantz MPM-2000U Studio Condenser. A generous gift from @rga when I left.

(Literally a gift. I don't mean that I stole it like all those post-it notes.)

I've said too much
