blocking Flash in Chrome

Interesting post, seen on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cdngiadmnkhgemkimkhiilgffbjijcie:

You don't need any 3rd pary extension to block flash anymore. To enable Chrome's built in Flashblock type 'about:flags' into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down to the botton and enable 'Click to play', then restart your browser. Now click the wrench menu > Options > Under the hood > Content setting > Plug-ins and select 'Click to play' from the right hand side. You can use the Exception button to whitelist specific domains.

setting up googlecl in Windows

Some instructions here:

However, it seems newest versions of the googlecl tool come pre-built. The only issue was I was missing MSVCRT71.dll file.  This can be obtained for Windows 7 here:

remapping CapsLock to extra Control key

To that end, I found this link useful:

 setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps # Swap Left Control and Caps Lock
 setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps # Make Caps Lock a Control key
