This is just a really quick post. If you don’t want to be tracked on the Internet by vendors, advertisers, etc, you probably know you have to delete cookies. However, not just browser cookies (most people are aware of those), but also flash cookies.

While there are plugins e.g. for Firefox, those are hard to use, you have to update them from time to time and if you, for whatever reason, use a different browser or two browsers, you would have to install multiple plugins / solutions to fix this annoyance.

Well, thank god there is Linux

Just write a little script, that will execute when you log out. For KDE3, this file can be put in ~/.kde3/Autostart. You might as well use ~/.bash_logout to start the script.

All the script needs to contain is:
#!/bin/bash
rm -r -f ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/
exit

This  should delete all your Flash cookies upon logout.

I own a simValley RX-80 which is the same as the Hyundai Mobile MB-105 Chico). I really like it, as I can use it to make phone calls and I especially like its formfactor (a little smaller than a credit card).
However, I had continous problems with my battery. Even after I got a new battery, battery life did not improve, but it even got worse. So I checked the wiring and found the problem, which is really easy to solve. But still, you have to realize the problem in order to fix it.

If  your phone suddenly turns off, open the back cover and fully reinsert the battery wiring which attaches the battery to the phone. With a little bit of luck, this will solve the problem. I just don’t get why this was build this way.

The picture shows the relevant part:

Hope this helps
