Monthly Dump

May 2024 Monthly Dump (not finished yet)

Hello there, editor Andrei speaking on the line. This should be technically published exactly in the Philippine Indepedence Day, but since I am currently between a mini sabatical and EOSY rest for the next school year, I apologize if it took longer than expected. So I decided to publish it now from the backburner and finalize it later.

Hello world, and welcome back to the monthly dump/status update! Pardon the radio silence over the few months, I am just busy at school during those period, but since I am in the end-of-school-year break, we're actually back for at least two issues of this, alongside the daily journaling on my personal wiki Buckle up, since there will be mentions about Gildedguy Story #8 and you don't want to get snuck-up on, right?

By the way for the Agora community, I'll be pointing my notes here while keeping the old ones up as an archive via the new [[@ajhalili2006-archive]] once the patch for sources YAML file are merged upstream soon.

And since this is the weekend (as of 2024-06-01) to officially kickoff my mini-sabbatical between school year, this is the first edition of my monthly dump of the year, also known as monthly status updates if you keen checking the archives. So read on to know what I am cooking behind the scenes.

The Gildedguy Story 8 Premiere Experience

I literally woke up early on May 12 to catch up the Twitch premiere (original VOD link, archived in 1080p via Storj DCS) just few minutes before it start. Based on the first watch, not only it was another banger1 by Michael Moy and the production team based on what the community saying, but there are new lore have been dropped since Gildedguy Story 7. I'll be not able to take note them all here in detail, but please take a watch for yourself.

It's a blast after all, so grab your "I Was There In Premiere" badge for free if you're there (either via Twitch or YouTube). And expect a in-depth post on it and more on [my blog] later this month (or just before the next school year starts). If you need some Gildedguy Stories-themed mixtape on your library, I made one since March and currently open for song suggestions.

Chores on Personal Wiki

Look at those grouped tabs

Since this Material for Mkdocs-powered site started in last year, I am currently working to merge both the old digital garden and Jiroh's Kooky Insane Stuff into here, alongside an upcoming one for Traumatized Autistics Department. Due to how the content migration is currently underway, you may see this non-dismissable banner on the top of every page similarly to this one below (link to commit):

But wait, what's Traumatized Autistics Department?

Here's the Google Doc for the project README (currently a public draft), but in a nutshell, this is where

Meanwhile in Recap Time Squad

In summary for everyone asking, just self-documentation, janitorial and admin work on Recap Time Squad lately.

Nothing too heavy other than bringing the Staff SSO terms and mini reorganization chores in our policy site, content updates on the Squad Wiki, and even setting up a brand assets repository to host our different brand assets as we export them from Canva, similarily to the cdnjs/brand GitHub repo and others.
