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.

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. :D

]]> Fri, 23 Dec 2005 17:58:46 +0000 Car Trouble darco http://www.deepdarc.com/2005/12/05/car-trouble/ 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.

UPDATE: Slipped to page two! AARRGH!

I am quite sick this morning. :alien: Coughing, hacking, sniffling... My nose, ears and throat feel like crap. I hate to say it, but I might take the day off. :(

Time to chill.

]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2005 14:49:16 +0000 New Look darco http://www.deepdarc.com/2005/10/09/new-look/ I'm experimenting with a new look and feel to the site, one which better reflects a website called "deepdarc". This was just a quick-and-dirty re-design, and you can easily see that it is very similar to the previous "Kubrick" theme. As I continue to hack on the look, expect it to start to feel more unique and less like Kubrick.

Upon further inspection, it actually sounds like a good idea. Am I going crazy or something?
