Neglected, not abandoned. Yes, archondigital.com is still very much alive. I’ve been as always, consistently inconsistent with updating content on this for as far as I could remember. A lot of this has to do with me being busy (I’ve given this excuse here numerous times too) but that really is what it is, I […]

passport.gov.ph – Expired SSL certificate on the PH Passport Portal for the past 12 days
A public portal used by citizens for passport applications (passport.gov.ph) suddenly becomes unsecure due to an expired SSL certificate and no one can do anything about it because, bureaucracy. Last May 12, 2017, the SSL certificate of the Passport Portal of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) here in the Philippines expired. I noticed this Thursday […]
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
Down with the flu. It started with the runny nose on Friday afternoon, then the sneezing by evening and by Sunday I was coughing like a dog gone mad with the collar on a little too tight. Even while feeling really sick, I still took the kids this Monday to school through Uber and by the time […]
New Year 2017, back to old domain archondigital.com
Yes, I know it’s been weeks too late, but it’s still January and it’s also Chinese New Year now, so this still counts as a New Year’s post. The blog is now fully migrated back to archondigital.com and if you’re wondering why I moved it in the first place, and why I keep moving it around, everything […]

End Impunity. Our freedom is under siege.
I’d hate to admit, but even as I try my best to not delve into political commentary, the situation everyday compels me to write about what is on my mind. 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
Starting to change my schedule to an early morning one by taking my kids to school, so this in effect revives my #ihateMondays series again because of the commute. 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 […]
