To refer back to specific parts of the tape later, I periodically check the elapsed time on the digital recorder, and enter that in my notes (which I take in org-mode, of course). This works, but it seems to me there should be a better solution. Given all of org-mode's timestamp and clocking capabilities, is there some way I can start a clock, then have it automatically insert stamps with the elapsed time at set intervals as I type? If not, can anyone suggest some elisp functions I might explore to try to hack this together as a macro? Thanks very much. --Alan -- Alan Dove, Ph.D. alan.dove@gmail.com 917.273.0544 http://dovdox.com Gizmo or Skype: alandove
