HowTo: Scrolling with the IBM trackpoint in Linux
I got used to scrolling windows with the TrackPoint. So I wanted to get this functionality back. The trick is to put the following two lines in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "DevInputMice"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
        Option      "EmulateWheel"
        Option      "EmulateWheelbutton" "2"
EndSection

You may not want to enable this if you rely on the middle mouse button for pasting copied content in Linux.

Broke
The bank allowed us to close on our first home today!  This means that we will be broke for the next 30 years, however, it is exciting.  We plan to have a lot of peanut butter and jelly in the near future.  Hopefully we get more then we expect in tax returns, larger bonuses, and nice raises next year.

Moving
No, Rellims is not moving again.  This time my wife and I are, we are closing on our first home tomorrow.  New York is so darn expensive, even when over an hour and a half away from NYC.  Wish us luck!  If I ever have time to complete my image gallery I will upload pics.
