Dual Core live at Cedar St, SXSW Interactive 2011

Darel — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:26:11 +0000

In the last few years, SXSW Interactive fans have started to outnumber the SXSW Music fans, so this was bound to happen. When these two groups converge, you get an interesting combination of music and technology, and a perfect example is Dual Core, a nerdcore rap group that mixes hip-hop and hacking.

Big thanks to C|Net for putting together the Buzz Out Loud at Cedar Street event!

Plaid Reddit Widescreen Wallpaper Featuring Coat of Arms

Darel — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 23:53:10 +0000

Hello Reddit! I’m feeling rather preppy today. I think I’ll put on a crisp white shirt and some khakis and bask in the sun while my imaginary butler, serves me imaginary tea and biscuits. To help spread my good cheer, I have created for you this plaid wallpaper embellished with the Reddit coat of arms (credit to Redditor licenseplate).

PC and Mac people unite! This wallpaper will make a lovely addition to the computer desktop of your choice, regardless of your preference. I also think it would make a lovely blanket, in case anyone wants to do some creative quilting.

I hope this wallpaper will be enjoyed by one and all, especially the preppier redditors (Predditors? Oh, no that doesn’t work at all).

Reddit Coat Of Arms Logo Widescreen Wallpaper

If you’re a regular Redditor, or just a fan of the popular social networking site Reddit, then I hope you’ll enjoy this Reddit Coat of Arms logo wallpaper that I made.

I wanted to do something not exactly fancy, but more elegant than just a plain background. So, I’ve added some tasteful pinstripes and a subtle vignette around the edges to give it some depth. The full version is 1440 x 900 pixels widescreen format to fit most newer PCs, Macs, and netbooks.

Update!

Credit for the official Reddit coat of arms goes to the Reddit community the original designer, licenseplate, who has a much cooler Reddit username than me. If there are any specific Redditors that I should credit, please let me know.

The difference between free shipping and not free shipping on my current order is about $5. See if you can find something on their website that should cost around $10 that we’ll end up using later anyway.

Shady DNS Redirection Revisited

Google is being Evil. (maybe Roadrunner too)

Darel — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 06:07:30 +0000

A funny thing happened when I moved darelparker.com to my new colocation server. Well, not so much funny as disturbing and deceptive.

After changing the registered name servers for my domain, my browser began displaying a banner infested pseudo-search engine at an IP address I’ve never heard of.

And it looks like spyware isn’t the cause.
