Introduction

You can see me on the message board as Astralis. I am the sole administrator. Astralis Lux is a handle and Latin for "Starlight or bright star". I've used this handle since at least 1994 when I selected it for my use on IRC in the Catholic and James Bond channels.

Name Change

On February 5, 2008 I changed my Forum Username from "Admin" to "Astralis".

My Released Spero Projects

As Spero Forum and Spero News have developed, I've gradually grown them to include some of my pet projects. Many of these could not come together without the support of the Spero community, including the leadership of (and certainly not limited to) Allen Covey and Robert Duncan.

• Spero News
• Spero Forum
• Spero Wiki
• St Blogs Parish (Documenting the Catholic blogsphere)
• The Belfry (Documenting the non-Catholic Christian blogshpere)
• Mega Boards (Documenting the Christian message-boards)
• SperoCite
• Weblogs
• Spero Newsletter
• Story Entertainment

My Incomplete Spero Projects

I have several ideas for Spero that I've started but not yet finished and haven't officially released to the public.

• Citizen Journalism
• Weblog Aggregator
