Filter out sites that are annoying in a Google Search

daniel —Wed, 11/17/2010 - 9:05pm

Some spammers are now scraping knowledge base websites and reformatting them in order to display adds. If you find them as annoying as I do, you can do the following.
Add a -site:name.com to the google search.
Unfortunately, it has to be done every time you query.

For example, my original search:
groovy ant sshexec outputproperty
My revised search:
groovy ant sshexec outputproperty -site:efreedom.com -site:questionhub.com

There, spam gone. I only see this getting worse though... Google needs to do something about this soon (allowing a more permanent per user blacklist would be nice) to avoid search results becoming less useful. I don't want to see some spammers mashup, I want to see the original site.

A discussion on stackoverflow about the problem.

Vnc Controls

daniel —Thu, 12/06/2007 - 12:33pm

Quick note on using vnc:

Start the following using the user to login as.
vncserver :1

To kill it:
vncserver -kill :1

Can change :1 to any integer, but only one person can access a given int at a time.

In a vnc client just enter:
host:1

Quotes

daniel —Fri, 07/01/2011 - 12:51pm

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
