Easy enough to remember?
You’d think that apt.freshrpms.net would be easy enough to remember whenever I need to install Apt on a new RedHat Linux box. But no…it always takes me 20 minutes to dig through bookmarks and find it. Now all I have to do is remember that I blogged about it and search for it on my [...]Archive

The DMS50s showed up…
We finally have suspension for the car. After sitting for two weeks in customs the DMS50s have finally made their way to our garage.
