Worth it just to get six months of SendGrid Silver (i.e. dedicated IP address for sending emails) for, umm, about half the price of buying one month normally.<p>Given that "sign up for SendGrid" was on my todo list for tomorrow, well, that worked out great.
I would have bought it just for linode but: New or inactive customers only. unused accounts will expire on December 31, 2010. Users agree to abide by the Terms of Service.
Is there a way to tell if the Heroku piece of the deal is still active? I suppose we may know after it expires, but at this point, I don't see a definitive confirmation either way of whether it is active or not.<p>It would be a great excuse to finally try some Ruby coding!
