Great podcast, but next time, keep your BlackBerry away, we can hear the interference in the record.

thanks for the interview. was really looking forward to hearing Tom speak on time management, but hated having to slog thru the start of the podcast listening to meta talk about writing the book.

Ben R – great to hear another podcast. I don’t know if it was my problem, but Tom L’s audio sounds like he was in a bathroom with too much echo/reverb. I had to mess with my soundblaster EAX settings to make it more enjoyable. But content-wise, I love your SA Pro podcasts. Please keep it up.

All this amazing feedback is just so encouraging…....

Thanks for the next SApro !!

fyi – on [[http://cuddletech.com/sapro]] site you have wrong link to Tom Limoncelli website.

Ben, I’ve enjoyed both of the SA Pro podcasts and thanks for making them.

One suggestion is using a template called “The Emergent Task Timer” from David Seah’s PCEO series. Works out great to track what you’re doing, how much time it takes, and what you need to do.

Ben,

Great interview, excellent guest choice. I really thought the audio was much improved over the last one, as well. I can’t wait for the next one.

Nice interview, and it’s a nice book too.

Great podcast, cant wait for the next one.
I took a bit of time and tried to replicate “The Cycle” with a wrapper around an editor, works fairly well and is pretty simple. Code is a bit messy but if anyone is interested [[http://www.cmdln.org/2008/12/21/todo-c..]]

Any chance you could set up an RSS feed so I can plug your podcasts into my music manager and not have to worry about it again? Autodownloading makes life so much easier.

P90x .It really is not expensive if you factor in the cost

of a gym membership,P90x workout . The cost for P90X is

about three months of a paid gym membership but you get to

keep the program foreverP90x . You can try many of the

online sites, but it will be the same as buying from the

company or a Beachbody Coach. Make sure you are getting

original DVD’s. People are selling copies all over. The

problem is how long will they last, P90x workout ,and you

truly need the exercise and nutrition guide to even follow

the program. You can go to any site or you can go to

[[http://www.p90xmall.com]] and click on products. P90x dvd You can

order directly from the site,P90x dvd.

Finally talk about the use of how to make the books of the battery last longer. Since you bought a laptop is to use it, the battery is one of consumables, will

certainly continue with the use of time and move towards retirement. How to make battery life with books? Power-saving technology? Sleep? So hard hang? To reduce the

screen brightness? All these methods seem to be able to increase the so-called extended. But you have not thought about, such extended sense? I drove my books do not

run any programs, do not open the display, not to hard to me, I can not achieve a longer time. May think this absurd practice, laptop is brought to use, not high-

sounding ornaments. So the writer in this suggestion is to not care about how good notebook laptop. Perhaps, after two years of the notebook market is another world,

your books have reached the retirement ranks. As long as we pay attention to the battery daily habits, the normal battery can be, they can no need to over-cautious

Fourth, for use in notebook computers in the “use of a month should put a full charge” approach is necessary. Notebook computer lithium-ion batteries are generally

charged with the management of chip and controller chip. Management chip which has a series of registers, there is capacity, temperature, ID, charge status, discharge

frequency values. These values are in use will gradually change. Personally, I think, in notebook computers for use in the “use of a month should put a full charge”

approach should be the main role is to amend the register where the value of improper, making the battery charge control and consistent with a nominal capacity of the
