Tonight, on the commute home my brain, my eyes, were on fire.
I had forced myself to stay about after work to finish off an item on the todo list.

It seems for every idea I finally finish working on, another 10 arrive! but maybe this one was worth taking note...

While fixing up form submission mechanisms, I realised I could drive a lot of traffic back to the site if I correctly engaged with a twitter audience.

I came to detail the requirements;

• When posting to the blog, the site should tweet and/or post to my facebook wall
• The posting mechanism must allow me to rule which channels I would prefer to communicate by
• A posting mechanism should read in '@' characters and possibly alert the intended audience by twitter/facebook

Roadmaps and todo lists are becoming my friend, they help me to keep my eyes on the prize... but I must remember to be tough on myself.

In the end I decided that I would tie said functionality in with the basic blogging engine, a showcase for the CMS services built into SNAPI, and open-source the development.

I could have used third-party code, or a product, but in the end - they don't tie into my plans and won't scale

Another dynamic to the story is that reaching these goals is always going to be a step closer to the end - there will be no refactoring this time round.
I only intend to build content and feedback mechanisms the once, so for me - blogging is a massive win.

SNAPI now has user management and blogging capabilities.
