Довели. 2 дня я занимаюсь тем, что пытаюсь намано установить ОС на 2 новых сервера в нашем датацентре, используюя для этого KVM, установочные диски и чат с саппортом датацентра (”перенесите квм туда”, “диск мона вынимать” и т.п.). Прошлый раз у нас всё прошло гладко, может потому, что планировали как-то, а может это просто мне надо почистить карму. (more…)

Hah, yah, it’s quiet a popular thing to write about FF extensions one uses. The reason which made me writing this post is that I’ve found ones i need. So here’s the list of extensions i use in my Firefox 3:
 

• - Download Statusbar - a pretty common one, simply makes download process usable and good-looking;
• - Session Manager - oh, this is the first one i install on any firefox, that’s for sure;
• - TabsOpenRelative - this one makes “Open in a new tab” open the content in the tab next to the current, not to the last one;
• - AdBlockPlus - after installing this one, firefox, especially flash plugin on sites like n n m dot r u and z a i t s e v dot n e t consumes much less CPU;
• - Web Developer - simply no comments, ubermegacool stuff;
• - Taboo - this is the one i’ve installed recently. In short words, it adds a button “Remember the tab”, you lcik on it, then close the tab. Some time in the evening before going to sleep you push “Show all taboo” and here we go - a screen representing thumbnails of all those tabs you’ve remembered. This one makes my life easier, that’s for sure!

 
Here it is! Don’t hesitate to add extensions you use in comments. CU

Again and again i turn to this link. Even though this function got better on Dell, i still prefer it to be turned off.
So, to disable touchpad tap-to-click, add

to that part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, wich references your touchpad device.

Strange, but some time ago this task was smth. like “no-simple-solution-in-google”:

Paste the following into ~/.fonts.conf, if you desire(i bet you do) subpixel font hinting in qt applications under gnome/xfce:

imho all applications gain some smoothness in font hinting after this hack with ~/.font.conf.
