File > New Project - When Anime Meets Tech - Part 1

To anyone who knows me, it won't come as any surprise that I've taken it upon myself to do something that combines two of my greatest passions - tech and Anime.
I'd just started watching the 10th episode of Fairy Tail for the nth time, because I couldn't remember if I'd already watched it or not. :-/
Now, I could do the simple thing and keep a notepad entry of the episodes I'd watched, starting then.
OR.
I could build an application that would allow me to keep track of all the episodes ever created in the series and everytime I'd finished watching an episode, I could just probably tick it off the list and the change would be reflected in the database (I'm thinking as a boolean flag).  This could initially start off as a application hosted on my localhost and then later hosted on a web server.
Either way I wanted to pen it down for everybody to see, so that would add pressure on me to actually follow through and finish this. I've had problems following through with iplementing ideas before - either because of time constraints or laziness :D .

Not this time. 

Intended Technology usage - 
A Django based application for the list and the checkboxes with a database (SQL/NoSQL - Yet to be decided) at the backend to store the episode names and keep track of the "Watched"/"Yet-to-Watch" list.

Post two with the progress made will follow soon.

Ta for now .
