Seasons change
I'm done.
Like, with the site. This site: elowel.org
Options:
1. Someone volunteers to take the server. I transfer ownership of the domain to them, ship them the server with root password, disable my account on the site all OS accounts on the server, put the server in a box and fedex it at my own expense and provide free no-touch advice on any software oddities. They then become responsible for maintaining the site.
2. elowel is allowed to die. I will provide a tool to export journals in some standard format, the site will go down and stay down either at the first power disruption or when it's domain expires.
3. You tell me. My keeping the server is not an option, past experimentation has shown that I cannot be responsible for the physical host and not participate in the site and not participating in the site is precisely what I want. There are certain aspects of this project which still interest me, but I cannot be involved as a participant or maintainer any longer.
I won't attempt to properly account for all the factors leading to this decision at this time, but there are enough. My consideration of them has been frequent and persistent enough to make me sure.
