So I finally found a thread about touchpad scrolling which lead me to explore the output of the `synclient -l` command on my Gutsy notebook, and lo and behold, the answer I’ve been looking for:

VertEdgeScroll = 1
HorizEdgeScroll = 1
VertTwoFingerScroll = 0
HorizTwoFingerScroll = 0

It turns out that two-fingered scrolling (like on the new Macs) is really easy to enable. Here’s how.

Make a backup of your X.org config file. Don’t blame me if you don’t do this and hose up your system.

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

Use the editor of your choice to add the following lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
add these lines >>>>
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "0"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
EndSection

However, if you’re like me, and have enough trouble as it is with touchpads, you may want to disable the horizontal scroll, as you end up flipping back and forth between web pages without a clue what’s going on.

I just got my latest package from woot.com. It’s a battery operated train I got for five bucks to go around the Christmas tree. Here’s the box it came in:
Front of the Box

As you can see, it’s The Universe of Classic Train, Handpick Playset. Here’s a little closer on the bottom left:

And in case you need help installing the batteries:

I’m not even sure what “Simulating the true styles and making carefully” is even supposed to mean. But, it does go, and it does have a flashlight, or headlight, possibly, just like the box says.

It's Repeal Day!

It’s that time of year again, when we celebrate December 5th, 1933, when Congress ratified the 21st amendment, ending Prohibition. And thus we have Repeal Day, the day we celebrate our constitutional right to drink. So stop by a bar on your way home, or just pick up a six-pack, but pop open a bottle and celebrate!

It’s a Dog on a Log! We had to pass the time this Thanksgiving somehow, and canine acrobatics seemed like a good idea.

Looks like Verizon wireless finally released the 4.2 OS for the 8703e handhelds. It’s about time. You can get the software here:

Ok, so this seems really unlikely to be true. But you never can tell with people. Check this out: the geekiest tattoo ever. Someone is going to have a lot of explaining to do. All the time. I mean, what percentage of the population actually knows HTML?

Like I said, I doubt this is real. If it is, though, props to this guy. And he should probably see a shrink. Or go on a date. Or both.

Let’s all celebrate Repeal Day this year, and commemorate the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, and the end of Prohibition. Have a drink because you can.

So I’ve decided to start updating this thing again. Random stuff, but it’s going to stay geek-related. So, for my triumphant return, I decided to post this while hurtling down I-74 in the middle of Indiana at 80 miles an hour while my sister uses the shared WiFi connection from my notebook to surf MySpace. Because I can.

I’m on a new bowling league this fall, and we’re chronicling our progress over at snakesonalane.com. We should have weekly postings of our scores and team stats. Also, other things like stupid bets between team members. It should prove to be a fun time. Now if only we could get Bob to get us a bad-ass website…

Songbird is to music players as Firefox is to web browsers for a very simple reason: they’re built on the same code base. Because of that, it addresses one of my main complaints with iTunes, which was the web browser. The one in Songbird doesn’t suck. While Songbird isn’t quite ready to replace your iTunes installation just yet, it will be soon, because of one thing. Extensions. All the extensions you could dream of, and a bunch that you can’t. Go download the alpha and check it out.
