Not So Much DevOps as DevOops

The Lygon building in Carlton, Victoria.

You've got to start somewhere, I suppose, and this is somewhere. A brand new Drupal 9 website!

Over the coming little while, I'll be migrating what content I want to keep from the old site and adding new functionality to make my life easier in ways undetectable to the casual observer.

I've been having the usual fun/frustration getting up to speed with Drupal after an eight year absence. It's actually almost sorta-kinda possible now to keep code, config, and content separate. Well, not separate really, but at least hierarchically dependent in a manageable way.
