How to setup a practically free CDN

I've been using [Backblaze][bbz] for a while now as my online backup service. I have used a few others in the past. None were particularly satisfactory until Backblaze came along.

It was - still is - keenly priced at a flat $5 (£4) per month for unlimited backup (I've currently got just under half a terabyte backed-up). It has a fast, reliable client. The company itself is [transparent about their operations][trans] and [generous with their knowledge sharing][blog]. To me, this says they understand their customers well. I've never had reliability problems and everything about the outfit exudes a sense of simple, quick, solid quality. The service has even saved the day on a couple of occasions where I've lost files.

Safe to say, I'm a happy customer. If you're not already using Backblaze, [I highly recommend you do][recommend].

Access Google API credentials and domain verification

This gist describes two processes allowing us to access the Google API and to register some webhooks. At the end of both processes we will obtain all variable needed to start using their API and we will have whitelisted all necessary URL to get started. We will be using the Google Calendar API and the Google Plus API to access the email address of the user.

This gist has been created as an Appendix to this article (part 1) and this article (part 3).

_{Note that, I will be using a randomly generated ngrok domain during this presentation. Simply replace b3093b51.ngrok.io with your domain name}

# GUI for mouse wheel speed using imwheel in Gnome
# imwheel needs to be installed for this script to work
# sudo apt-get install imwheel
# Pretty much hard wired to only use a mouse with
# left, right and wheel in the middle.
# If you have a mouse with complications or special needs,
# use the command xev to find what your wheel does.
