Review: Webfaction hosting still sucks
Eight years on Webfaction and I’m still hosting my sites with them. So yeah, Webfaction hosting doesn’t suck at all, sorry for the click bait. I only mentioned ‘Webfaction hosting still sucks’ as an inside joke within friends since we don’t really have much to complain about. I’ve been using Webfaction on most WordPress websites that I run, […]
Outbreak

This random image I took yesterday of the National Press Club’s compound from behind a barbed wire fence further convinced me that I should start writing […]
Meet Rubik, our new furball of joy
This is Rubik, our new furry bundle of fleas and joy. He’s so far doing okay, loves to snuggle up to whoever is sleeping and is somewhat more clingy than our previous cat. Our first cat, Peabo died last August which broke the kids’ hearts and so I just had to get a new one. […]
Mr. Bean playing Pokemon Go
This is how Mr. Bean would look like if he played Pokemon Go. Hey Internet (err, social media), just when I thought I’d let you go, you come right back at me with this. Update: I’ve been getting some traffic on this page for people searching for Archon Pokemon Go and I’ve no idea what […]
The Jesus cabbie #ihateMondays

That, and I’m off to a meeting in two hours. Status update | 19 June 2016 Jesus cabbie Music was comforting, you close your eyes and all […]
