shanwong.design
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…

PropertyGuru interview
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. 🙁

Screen going black with AutoCAD (LT)
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,…

Macbook Air M1 issues

Air purifier
I live in Singapore. And haze is a thing. Thanks Indonesia and burning rain forests to create palm plantations. Needless to say, so far 2019 and 2020 haven’t been great. Anyhow I got myself a Novita air purifier ~2 years ago, and I stole received a Xiaomi purifier from Liyun. The Novita is pretty dumb…

HSBC
This is a rant. I’ve dealt with quite a few (bad) banks over the course of my life across countries and businesses. And I think HSBC is one of the worst. For various reasons. But mostly for being stuck in another century. And you’d expect a tiny (Belgian) bank to be horrible. Not one of…
