      <![CDATA[<p>As I sit here at 11:38 feeling the pressure of midnight while trying to think of something to write about for this 4th day of <a href="http://www.fussy.org/2006/10/nablowrimo.html">NaBloWriMo</a>, I hit myself for giving <a href="http://www.hairyalien.com/">my wife</a> all of my good blogging ideas. </p>

<p>But that is ok. Because, you see, I am an <em>idea</em> man. </p>

<p>So what better thing to write about? But one of my "ideas." It is not a new idea, but rather an idea I have been working on for quite sometime. At times I would the fleeting feeling that I was <a href="http://testrun.majordojo.com/blog/2006/08/test_run_betas_last_mile.php">almost done</a>. But most of the time I have felt like the end will never come.</p>

<p>But in the past week, I feel as if I have finally turned a corner. When I look at <a href="http://testrun.majordojo.com/">Test Run</a> in development I really like what I see. For the first time really. The app is really coming together. It’s actually fun to look at, and getting easier and easier to use.</p>

<p><img alt="Test Run Screenshot" class="photo" src="http://www.majordojo.com/images/screenshots/testrun-screen-sm.png" width="430" height="239" /></p>

<p>Plus, I have a to-do list that is finally getting shorter and shorter as opposed to longer and longer. That alone feels good.</p>

<p>But, my job as a Product Manager has taught me never to attach a date to these types of things, until you know – until you <em>really know</em> – when you will be done. When you will <em>ship</em>. So I will bite my tongue – despite the fact that I have a date in my head, and it actually feels realistic.</p>

<p>I think I just jynxed myself. Shit.</p>

<p>Oh well, only time will tell; and one day I will link back to this post in order to either prove that my instinct was right, or to reference yet another delusional moment I had about Test Run.</p>
