Perfectionist is an euphemistical way for me to say I'm a maniac. I also spend hours just for a minor tweak. Just when I am a bit pleased with my sites I just start working on them yet again, improving anf trying to make them even better. This has already taken a lot of my life

Hi Michael, I just posted on your intro thread. Nice to see you here, sorry you had a conflict on the other forum. I haven't been there as much lately, but I did wonder where you had gone. This place is great, though! Welcome!

wondered where you'd gone, Michael

We know each other from V7N (I would never mention a competing board, but you asked).

I was a mod there until a week or so ago. The admin and I didn't see eye to eye on a particular issue so I decided it might be best to mosey on...

The good news is I have actually managed to get some work done this week! My design site will be up soon, as long as I don't get too addicted here!

It's just a novel. That quote is really taken out of context but I thought it rung true.

Where do you all know each other from?

I always like Michaelangelo's quote: "Perfection is a thousand trifles. Perfection, itself, is no trifle, though."

I am a perfectionist, but I usually manage, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, to get things the way they need to be. Then, days or weeks later, I will usually make some changes here and there.

PS - Hi, Davey... Hi, intruth! I bet I bump into a lot of people I know here, huh? Nice seeing you guys!

Never a truer word spoken, Megan.

What book is that?

I just came across this quote in a book I'm reading:

Quote: People don't finish, Rose. People stop. To finish is to say okay, now that's right, I'm never going to change it. To stop is to say okay, it's not perfect, but I have to go do something else.

I am far more worried about the security of my site, the "behind the scenes" programming. Just as long as what people see doesn't look like crap then I'm ok with it, and if it loads fairly fast.

Am I perfectionist too that I take too much time before figuring out how to code better for what Im trying to do, making perfect css and no internal div styles on the html, but I now tended to slow down. This is actually my rule... after 30 minutes of making something, I stop, walk in the garden for 5 minutes, go back with freash eyes, edit a little bit, then tell my friends to look at it, if they say it looks good and works ok, then Im satisfied... For cutomers, if they like it and others dont, I suggest the point of others, but I stick with what the client wants... They are the ones paying so I dont care what others feel about it other if it was really an issue...
