What is perfectionism?

What is perfectionism and why did I choose it for this weblog’s name?

Well I think this site describes what perfectionism is well - if you’re not satisfied with that then look on Google.

As to why - well, it suits me very well. Do you know how long it takes me to do anything? The number of improvements I can always see? Heck, choosing a program to use for this weblog was difficult enough, and I was definitely not writing one myself! [As an aside: I only ended up with MovableType because I couldn't find a comparable one written in PHP or Python]
