Fat thumbs mess things up

Ever since getting my net netbook I've been struggling with trying to avoid tapping my thumbs to the touchpad while typing. I can tell you wieeeerd things happen when you double tap, drag and type at the same time..


Anyway, there's a simple remedy for the problem, named syndaemon: "a program that monitors keyboard activity and disables the touchpad when the keyboard is being used". Dead simple.

Activate by adding it to your Preferences -> Startup Applications with the command "/usr/bin/syndaemon -t -d".

I'm free again.
