  • For this week's edition of the Weekly Wrap (stats galore)
    • What did you missed this week
    • 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.

  1. Downloading dashboard stats involves upgrading to premium, so apologies if I couldn't dump the screenshot of my dashboard for now here. ↩↩↩↩↩

  2. For the uninitated (hello there if you have watched Gildedguy Story 6 earlier), he makes "ear movies" or music with lore in a nutshell. ↩↩↩↩↩

  3. Track my progress at https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ajhalili2006 and follow me if you do. ↩↩↩↩↩

Daily Note 2024-06-07

Here's a quick summary of what's cooking behind the scenes today, June 7, 2024:

  • Actually enabled comments for daily notes (currently on per-entry basis until meta officially graduates from Insiders-only status), using a self-hosted instance of giscus. You can try it out now below and it'll be appear in the andreijiroh-dev organization discussions in GitHub.
  • Officially installed Node.js into my custom mkdocs Docker image through copying files from the official Docker image (and some symlink trickery)
  • Yesterday, I added docs for golinks, will work on Content Migration status reports later in the weekend.

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

    • TTPD on Spotify?!? (interpretting the lyrics, ey? Also lurking around r/TaylorSwift for hints maybe.)

    • I may feel like a madlad lately, but I listened to the whole album in order (from a community playlist) for the full experience. As my older sister told me, I may become the first (and only) Swiftie in the family once I go deeper into the discography in the future.

    • Still playing some of Starcadian's music on loop, of course.
    • Fresh from The Vergecast: Apple's AI moment is coming at 40m55s (If they do AI-generated emojis as JPEG images through RCS at WWDC (some even shortened it as "dub dub"), that would be chaotically funny at same time bloody for Android users.)

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.

Daily Note 2024-06-02

It's been more than 7 months since the last one and it's nice I could do it all again here in the new wiki, and it's good to be back again with the daily journaling hellscapes.

By the way, here's a quick summary of what's cooking behind the scenes today, June 2, 2024:

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.

  1. You may not realize this, but Starcadian's music has lore in it, its storyline is similar Alan Walker's and PYLOT's, although this may hit hard for Lord Hurdon listeners. Also got hooked into Alien Victory first after Gildedguy Story 6 ↩↩↩

  2. Listened first with MORE MORE MORE from one of the previews on X (Twitter) for Gildedguy: Automatica fan animation ↩↩↩

  3. Gonne too deep and the wiki page made me say "oh my god" in Scar's voice ↩↩↩
