Several months ago I connected the #Raleigh #OpenData tree set to nearby #Wikipedia -listed locations and from there to a ChatGPT API call. Find trees in Raleigh, find things near trees, have trees tell you about nearby things.

I've learned enough in the time since that I'm readdressing the project and expanding it a lot, with more information available to/from the tree.

I'm sad to be leaving Iceland and already plotting when I can come back ... but I'm also very ready to cuddle my kitties! 🥰

Still incredibly impressed with my cat sitter, the Dany whisperer — on one of her last check-ins, Dany gave her KISSES!

Apple broke the law with anti-union tactics in NYC

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/08/apples_antiunion_tactics_in_nyc/

Talking of Chameleons, I am always impressed by the way Apple have managed to maintain much of their ‘outside, liberal’ image - even when they dominate mobile markets. Jobs was a shite, indifferent to others in his company, family and community. The organisation maintains that process - with a ‘friendly face’.

I do use their hardware/software but am under no illusions about the company.

Other pastry delights at #Mercato this morning, what would you have chosen? SIL had the fruit Danish with the Broulee meringue on top, and said it was delicious! Mum and I had #Sfogliatelle. Dad and brother were bought Cornetto Allan Mandorla - very much like an almond croissant. #CaityTrip

More pastries at Italian deli Mercato this morning. These are various Danishes.

The company that manages our building EV infrastructure went bust. The new one turned everyone's internet off to install their new hardware today.

Just now the building manager proudly let me know the new system is up and that I can get a charger installed. But I caught the electrician as he was packing up and he was like there's NO way you'll be able to run a cable that long, our system can't handle it.

So I'm about to have an entire conniption.

What's in the same-sex parenting book banned by Cumberland City councillors in Western Sydney - ABC News

"The book explains that there are "many different types of family" and canvases topics including how some children in the book refer to their parents and surrogacy in general terms.

One chapter says "people may be unkind" if you are a child in a same-sex family. "

Ordered a v2l cable for my car so I can run a cooktop while I'm camping. Had to call them up because the payment messed up. But the guy said they make them to order rather than having a bunch sitting around on the shelf which is kinda cool.
