I am selling my old 800MHz Powerbook G4 DVI notebook on eBay, item number 250006289825 250011752446. Starting bid is $50, no reserve.

This machine has served me well, and I have written a lot of code on it. This machine also happens to be the first Macintosh I've ever owned. Read on if you are interested.

Update: Sold for $456! The guy didn't follow thru! Relisting...

After many months of frustration, I finally made it clear to my hosting service that I could no longer tolerate the server that was hosting deepdarc.com. So now it's on a new server. If you are reading this post, it means your DNS has been updated and you should be swell. Hopefully this machine will actually behave. Sheesh.

If you sent an email to darco@deepdarc.com in the past 24 hours, then you may want to send it again. My mail is going to be a little patchy for the next few hours.

Today I arrived in Steamboat, Colorado. I'll be here until Sunday, and be back to work on Monday. w00t!

The last two times my mom has done batches of laundry, she has washed my Jabra BT250 wireless bluetooth headset. Surprisingly, it survived the first cycle---a quick recharge and it was ready to go. That was months ago.

However, she visited my apartment recently and this time my Jabra was not so lucky. *sigh* Oh well. Perhaps I can use this as an excuse to get a Jabra BT500.

Despite the fact that I left considerably early, there I was on "El Camino Real"; grotesquely late for my doctor's appointment. I had printed out directions from my workplace, yet I was trying to get there from my apartment. This confusion led to much suffering.

So I was a bit frustrated. And, big surprise, it showed in my driving. I was a bit heavy on the acceleration at times, but I didn't think too much of it. Until I slammed hard on the accelerator to pass this big SUV and all of the sudden I am bathed in the erie red of the "oh shit" light. A warning tone sounds as I notice that I have lost all power. The display LCD flashes “PROBLEM”. No shit sherlock.

Needless to say, I never made it to my doctor's appointment. My car drives, but it's still saying “PROBLEM”. Bad day. Argh.

UPDATE: The light has now disappeared as mysteriously as it came. I have no idea what happened, but I think perhaps I tripped an auto-resetting circuit breaker for the electric motor somehow.

Finally, the day has arrived. This site is now on the first page of search results for the word "darco". Now to climb my way all the way to the top of the list...

UPDATE: Slipped to page two! AARRGH!
