Have this #AllmanBrothers tribute gig coming up in #Raleigh at the Lincoln on Saturday so I sat down with my #dobro last night to make sure the internal Fishman still worked. Of course, it didn’t. So, a little heavy duty double sided tape and an old Lawrence and I’m back in business. Sounds pretty great, too!
I Talk to the Treeeeessss… with a ChatGPT API Call
I've learned enough since last October that I can revisit my project of having Raleigh's trees act as tour guides for surrounding areas. The city of Raleigh offers an open dataset of city trees. Not every last tree in the city, of course, mostly trees on city property. My old program searched the tree database, used Wikipedia to find sites of interest nearby, and then…
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.
So if the city of #Raleigh sends out a request for you to take a survey, and you try, and you get an error, and you reply to the request with a screenshot showing it didn't work, and you get an email in response telling you "this email box is not monitored" and then you kick yourself hard in the ass for trying to participate like a citizen.
Moin,
we all need a cool duck on the handlebars, don't we ?
Das #Raleigh Dundee wurde nun aufgerüstet, wenn ich doch nur noch den Post finden könnte, der den Hinweis auf "Beifahrer" gab, must-have Ausrüstung, can't stop laughing, DANKE 👍 Beim heutigen #SturmPendeln in #SchleswigHolstein ist der Propeller auf dem Helm allerdings weggeflogen, zum Glück habe ich das Teil wieder gefunden.
Ansonsten war fast t-shirt Wetter, +10°C (!)

Hey #TriangleNC#activists—I’m looking to hire a great #organizer to help #SwingLeft build new #grassroots groups in the #Triangle. The #job is flexible and pays $18 an hour. Help us defend democracy, defeat MAGA extremism, and elect Democrats in 2024— apply or share!
Someone on Nextdoor brought up Raleigh NC as an example of failed pedestrian only zone killing businesses in a thread about congestion pricing in NYC and now I want to learn about what happened in Raleigh.
I connected #Raleigh 's #dataset of #trees to a #Wikipedia API query for finding nearby items of interest and then to a OpenAI API query so the trees could describe themselves and the area around them.
Hundreds of pro #Palestinian protestors marched in downtown #Raleigh this afternoon, blocking at least one street.
The protestors were calling for a #ceasefire in fighting in #Gaza , marching to the office of #Democrat Rep. #DeborahRoss before marching back to Moore Square.
we went to the North Carolina Museum of Art & saw some really cool stuff. Our feet were killing us after spending 4 hours exploring the entire thing.
tried Zaxby’s for the first time…it doesn’t compare to Cane’s. Not even close.
we drove around Downtown and West Raleigh to get a feel for the place - I loved parts of it, but David prefers Brier Creek. We’re checking out Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Durham, Carrboro, and more of Raleigh over the next 6 days
