  <body>I started working on this blog in march or so.  I didn't have a fixed, set list of features.  I just knew roughly what I wanted it to be able to do, and mostly I was looking for a good, effective way to express myself about programming.

After my most recent changes to get decent pagination and make it work with my post tagging, I think I've scratched my personal itch with this.  I plan to keep using and maintaining it, of course.  But I think this blog, as a little simple app, now does what I want it to do.

Not many of my projects get to that point, ever.  That's one of the really cool things about building something &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; want, for the things &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; use it for...  It's possible to get done.  Somehow when I build for other people, I can always come up with an unending feature list of stuff they &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; want some day...

But when it's for me, I get to say, "okay, it works now."

I'm enjoying that a lot right now.
