Citrix Receiver 13 on Linux

Seems to be quite broken on any form of Ubuntu, but I have managed to install on Fedora 20 i686 (Mate) with some success:
sudo yum install libpng12 xerces-c
sudo rpm -Uvh ICAClient-13-0.0.256735-0.i386.rpm ctxusb-2.4.256735-1.i386.rpm
cd /opt/Citrix/ICAClient
./selfservice

Backup or move your Google data

https://www.google.com/takeout allows you to backup or move your Google data. Visit the site, sign-in and then choose what to archive and in what format.

I was surprised to learn that I've got 8GB, but that is all my emails, attachments, videos etc.

The data will be available as a downloadable archive, but you can visit the site again in the future as required.
