Transcription of the Perlcast Interview with Tom L

I'd like to announce that I finished transcribing the Perlcast Interview with Tom Limoncelli, with some help in correcting mis-transcribed phrases from "fax". There are still some phrases I'm uncertain of in the document, which are marked with "[?]" or "FILL IN" (and I could use some help in correcting), but as a general rule, the transcript should be usable.

On a similar note, I was referred to this talk about "Getting things done" (which I did not watch yet) by a friend, and "Getting Things Done" is mentioned in the Tom Limoncelli interview.


"Practice [?] Time"

Project Time, probably.

Corrected, thanks.

Probably, 'Oh, boy!'

Hi mr_bean! Thanks, I corrected it and another minor thing.

good email time management

mr_bean on 2008-02-10T12:13:47

At 28:00 he says:

and to keep my E-mail locks clean, I realise that the strategy has to include the end of all these takes [?] the E-mail being deleted or filed away someplace or archived

I don't here him say 'E-mail box'. He does talk about his 'inbox' later.

I wonder if 'takes' is 'tactics' or 'techniques.'

'..the end of all these techniques/tactics. It has to end with the email being deleted or file away..'

Good advice. I was able to unsubscribe from all my mailing lists. I wasn't able to keep my inbox clean.

Josh says, perhaps:

'So I can use them on my own time.'

'You always put your gas tank on Sundays.' Or does he say, 'fill your gas tank?'

car door closing routine

mr_bean on 2008-02-10T12:35:23

He says, 'I know this sounds kind of anal-retentive,'

He squeezes his car keys as he closes his car door to prevent closing the door without having them with him.

I make this a practice too, but then I forget what I'm jangling the keys in my pocket for.

Applied all your comments thanks.
