Here's a quick summary of what's cooking behind the scenes today alongside anything else you missed this week, June 9, 2024:

• For this week's edition of the Weekly Wrap (stats galore)

    • The week starts with The Return of Daily Notes and ends with Friday Mixtape Hellscape, featuring Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department and support for comments on these via giscus and GitHub Discussions APIs.
    • See all posts here in one place
  • From my Wakatime stats this week¹: I am literally on VS Code for more than half a day (12h+) this week, mostly to edit Markdown files on my personal wiki locally, although I do use GitHub's web editor (VS Code for Web edition) and Codespaces for some.
  • For the recap yesterday, apologies if I didn;t write one: Nothing particular happened, just a day off updating my personal wiki in the machine to rest up and catch up with my Duolingo streak before clock strikes midnight.
  • For my listening activity at Last.fm for the period of May 31 to June 6 (archived link):
    • Scrobbled 559 tracks (up 38% from last week), with 66 this week on 9:00 PM hour block.
    • Listened for almost 2 days (1 day 23 hours), averaging 80 scrobbles per day, with 126 as highest this week on June 3.
    • For the music ratio, I listened to 110 tracks (with ratio of 5.08 scrobbles/track compared to 87 with ratio of 6.43 last week) from 41 artists (ratio of 13.63 scrobbles/artist compared to 39 last week with ratio of 14.33) across 49 albums (ration of 11.41 scrobbles/album vs 36 last week with ratio of 15.53).
    • Top Album, Song and Track: Starcadian ² and his Sunset Blood album | BOSSFIGHT's Ballistic (also top new track and album as single this week)
  • Perfect attendance this week on Duolingo's Spanish or Vanish sessions (7 out of 7 days this week, totaling 174 days streak, compared with 6 last week).³

• What I have been listening to (check today's scrobbles):

  • Next up from my podcast queue, featuring Anthony Padilla: The Try Guys Tell All
  • [CONTENT WARNING: TRAUMATIZING CONTENT] A quick refresher on Gaza war from Al Jazeera's The Inside Story Podcast: What does it mean for Israel being on the UN's 'blacklist'?

That's all for now, see you again soon for another daily note. If I miss something today, I may edit this page or just add it for next daily note instead. Take care, and keep it decent in the comments.
