The Luminary Writer’s Database has been around since August 2002. Between then and now, I’ve never really given myself a public platform to go with it. I’ve answered users’ questions via e-mail, have implemented various feature requests, and have occasionally posted brief announcements to the front page of the site. But for the most part, I’ve kept to myself.

This blog will allow me to talk about the development process. This may include features that are still in the works, lessons learned about building web applications, or, heck, pictures of my baby daughter posted as excuses for why I haven’t put in more development time.

It’ll allow me to talk about writing, too, and stuff that I’ve read. You can skip those posts if you prefer, but I figure we have a whole community of writers here, so writing and reading are perfectly appropriate subjects.

How often I’ll make use of this blog remains to be seen. I may yet discover that I’ve been keeping to myself all this time because that’s the way I like it.
