Stop Big Brother Google from spying you

March 1st, 2012

Google are clearly gathering information about us but refuse to tell us why. They records everything they can. You can limit this by turning off search history personalization:

  1. Go to https://www.google.com/history
  2. Click “remove all Web History.”
  3. Click “ok.”

Note that removing your Web History also pauses it. Web History will remain off until you enable it again.

February 9th, 2012

I visited beautiful Venice in February. I love those canals, gondolas and tourist atmospheric. I flew to Treviso Airport and I took ATVO bus to the Piazzale Rome in Venice. In Venice I used ACTV buses and waterbuses “vaporetto” which run frequently.

Disabling the Laptop TouchPad in Linux

May 20th, 2011

If you have attached an external mouse to your laptop, you may not need touchpad which may be accidentally touch. I’ve made a short script to disable and enable the touchpad.
1: Disabling the TouchPad

#!/bin/sh
dev=`xinput --list | grep PS/2 | grep Generic | cut -f2-2 | cut -c 4-10`
export DISPLAY=:0
xinput set-int-prop $dev "Device Enabled" 8 0
echo "Device id=$dev has been disabled"

2: Enabling the TouchPad

#!/bin/sh
dev=`xinput --list | grep PS/2 | grep Generic | cut -f2-2 | cut -c 4-10`
export DISPLAY=:0
xinput set-int-prop $dev "Device Enabled" 8 1
echo "Device id=$dev has been enabled"
