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.

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..'

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

  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.
