Wow. That sounds morbid, doesn't it? How about "The project is nearly finished'?

I worked out the remaining software glitches, so now the device's operation is nearly flawless!

I am not necessarily tooting my own horn since I really use it (the chair, not the horn).

The long-awaited video will be coming as soon as I convince my wife to show-off her modeling abilities. Trust me, you do not want ME to demonstrate it!!
