Writing
- I published an email address with no mailbox behind itMy cell number sat on the sales page for nine hours before I took it off. In its place is an email address I never created, and the reply comes from me.
- The layout audit spent 86% of its time waitingThe layout audit took 184 seconds to do 26 seconds of work. Loading several pages at once cut that to 112 seconds, and fixing one pasted argument cut it to 14.
