I love listening to music and I have a lot of opinions on it! Rate Your Music is a great tool for tracking albums you like or want to listen to. I don’t rate everything I save to my collection, because I haven’t listened to a lot of them yet. Also, I tend to rate things a little lower at first and then move them up as I get more attached to them. Let me know if we have any similar taste in music!
I’m glad I made a Last.fm account; often I only wish I had made one sooner, since it gives you a much finer-grained record of your listening habits than my streaming service does. I use it to create playlists of my favorite songs over arbitrary timespans, such as lunations, and to share what I’ve been listening to on my gomepage. Here is a generated chart of what albums I have recently been listening to.
Status cafe is a nice tool by small-web user m15o. You can update your status on their site, then add a bit of javascript to your own site to fetch your status, which you can see in action on my gomepage (under “My status”). I like this pattern because it makes it easy to update a small patch of your site without having to go through the whole process.
I took up an interest in anime during the pandemic, and ended up watching enough that I wanted to start tracking it. I was pretty into it for a couple years; now I just watch it occasionally. I have written about it a couple times in the journal (e.g. themes).
Another service by m15o. This one lets you upload jpegs, then it blasts the heck out of them with the strongest possible compression. I don’t use it that often, but you might find some interesting (albeit crusty) images on there.
I keep code for my Ctrl-C-related projects here. I also have some stuff in the works I’m just keeping private for now :)
This is pretty much Rate Your Music for video games (made by the same company). I don’t play video games too much anymore, and I feel like there’s a lot of really famous or significant games I’ve never played. If you have any game recommendations for me based on what I like, please let me know!
