FastMail Advent 2015

After the success of our advent calendar series last year, the FastMail team have semi-willingly subjected ourselves to the crazy business of writing a blog post a day for 24 days again this year!

We have been blogging more things as they happen this year, so there’s less news to announce, but we have a mix of deeply technical, informative, or just plain amusing things to write about. It’s going to be a fun ride.

I’m starting the series with something I wrote back in June, but didn’t publish at the time. It’s been sitting in the drafts bin since!

Come back every day before Christmas for new posts. This page will be updated with links to all the posts as they appear.
