What the heck happened
to Sitting in Oblivion!?
Long story short, the software that SittingInOblivion.com had been running on since 2013, namely Drupal 7, reaches End-of-Life on January 5th, 2025, after which there will be no more maintenance updates or security fixes forthcoming. You can read more on that here.
Now I am become
root
, deleter of websites.
I long ago lost interest in Drupal as a development platform, so rather than try to update to Drupal 11, I've shut down the old CMS and begun working on this new website you see before you. It has a cheerier name and is built with contemporary technologies and paradigms that should require much less maintenance. Maybe.
I'll build out this new site in bits and pieces as time and enthusiasm afford. While there is a plan for migrating the legacy SittingInOblivion.com content over here eventually, that is not a priority for me at the moment. I want to focus on new formats, interests, and ideas without being bogged down by attachments to the past.
