An alternate title for this post could be: "Don't Let the Perfect be the Enemy of the Good."

There are times when waiting for the elegant architecture, the scalable system, the perfect answer, keeps people from using the easy solution at hand. Inevitably, the easy solution has something to do with a Perl script, a spreadsheet, or a plain text file. The perfect solution has to do with information architecture and systems design and usability testing.

And in keeping with that philosophy, I'm not going to spend any more time editing this post for speling and grammer or content.
