Marko: I remember hearing about the jar philosophy, but forgot about it—thanks for the reminder! It’s a good one to keep in the memory bank, along with “eat that frog”!

Eat that frog is a time-tested tool.

You feel energized and ready for the little tasks once you’ve finished that large task. It works a lot like the “rocks, stones, pebbles, sand, coffee in a jar” philosophy. How to fit the most into a jar? Start w/ the bigs, then add the increasingly smaller ingredients. If you start small, then add the bigs, you’ll have no room left.

But about that frog, I have to admit, though, even floss wont dig out the frog legs from the back molars.

Indeed it is, @Rob! If you haven’t tried verjuice, you are missing out! It’s a key ingredient to at least 50% of my go-to recipes.

Thanks for the interesting post on certification, too bad I didn’t read it before!

In case it’s worth mentioning there is a long-standing organization called TILP (The Institute of Localisation Professionals) and which also delivers a Certified Localisation Professional programme. This training course is a combination of online and onsite sections and it can be completed in about a month. It’s also affordable and unbiased, as TILP is a non-for-profit organization.

However the best deal is that it’s offered all around the world, for it only requires four-day onsite training.

As TILP is always looking for new training venues (wherever demand exists) and CSOFT has global presence as well as useful tools (such as TermWiki), I would be glad to hear if you have any suggestion for venues and potential collaboration to organize such events.

Please do not hesitate to check out tilponline.net to find out more about TILP.

Thanks and best regards,

Jose Palomares
