Shameless plug to get Google to index the website faster. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was playing around with the idea to up the marketing and social media stuff for Shan (WFH is taking its toll -- I was bored, always doing the same, saw Shan struggle to do both creative and marketing work, and I had plenty of brainjuice left -- and in all fairness I was probably getting a bit frustrated and going "why don't you just ...". So yeah, decided to actually help out and experiment some).

This is one from last year, but as there's another coming... Posting it here for memories' sake.

They promised us all our cat pictures (they took more pictures of the cats than us)... Still waiting. :(

I am not sure what is the problem -- I've upgraded Shan's 27" 2k monitor to a 32" 4k monitor and AutoCAD LT recently updated from 2021 to 2022. Shan's been using a 2017 i5 NUC (NUC7i5BNB) with 32Gb RAM using the onboard GPU. Something that should be plenty for a bit of Windows, Chrome, Photoshop and AutoCAD LT.

For the past few weeks, several times a day her screen would black out for half a second or so and then everything should go back to normal. Sometimes it would happen several times in a row, sometimes it wouldn't for hours on end.

I recently got my mom a Macbook Air M1, upgrading from a 2010 Macbook Pro (High Sierra).

When migrating over from High Sierra to Big Sur, using Migration Assistant (my Synology TimeMachine kept on failing -- but besides that, migration went smoothly) two issues came up that required calling Apple.

But first off I noticed that when migrating, for some reason FileVault was turned off (more on that later). I, obviously, turned it on.

Shan has launched a new website (and a new domain)!

The last (and only time) I posted a recipe here, was 7 years ago. Wow.

As we're trying to eat less meat in general, we've (Shan and I) been experimenting with vegetarian dishes.

This lasagna has been eaten by a few people now and every time the reviews are pretty damn good. :) It comes rather close to the original taste while being entirely vegetarian.

First off -- we're mostly just swapping out the regular minced pork/beef mix with Beyond Meat. There are other brands out there (i.e.: Omnimeat), each with their own taste -- try to see what works for you.
