someone keeps moving the basket

as much progress as i have made recently, it feels like someone keeps pushing the goal further away from me although it seems so close. i guess this is a typical feeling for any long-term project. i thought i was almost done, but it seems i have at least a week's more work to do as i keep thinking of new functionality, try and take into account all possible error conditions and prevention measures, and make the application robust at the same time.

i'm off to class.
