Chris Timson has started a new blog, and I would like to claim the prize for being the first person to notice! What do I win?!
I spotted his domain as a new referring site on my Google Analytics stats. Maybe that means someone else found his site first and clicked the link to me?
I came across a really handy tool for listing the number of RAM sockets you have, and what’s currently in them all. The tool is dmidecode, and it’s installed by default on Debian Etch:
