And by “Launch,” I mean “I’m starting to write it.” There’s a long way between that and a completed program. But you can check my progress at SPBS’ Google Code site: http://code.google.com/p/spbs/
I’ve written an introduction to SPBS, and the reasons I’m writing it here, at http://code.google.com/p/spbs/wiki/SPBSIntroduction
Although I’m not at all sure about the “BioWiki” name. And “AutoBioWiki” is even worse. But in the fine tradition of Anne Lamott’s “shitty first draft,” here’s

Here’s some brief notes on the online dating sites I’ve tried, to hopefully speed other people through this process.

If you see “https://” in the address bar, that connection is generally [...]
People who have known me for a while are slightly puzzled. Why am I semi-consistently using my middle name now, when I never did before? Sudden attack of pretentiousness?
