In Kaikohe, next to the Waitomo petrol station, is Cafe Ihaalam, named apparently after a Middle Eastern grandfather of the owner.

At Ihaalam the food was wonderful. I was quite taken that my green tea was served in a good old-fashioned metal teapot. The apple pie was scrumptious.

@JohnPhilpin I was thinking about that problem last week as I worked on this… I agree a vertically scrolling list would be better for many categories. Just not sure if there should be a toggle or exactly what form it should take. One thing I added in this version, you can right-click on a category in the new pane and choose “New Post” to start a post just for that category directly.

@apoorplayer 😀 It’s good to know what kinds of books we do and don’t like. I’m finding I’m reading more and more these days, perhaps especially because it’s winter just now. There’s plenty going on in real life (around the world) that upsets me but that I can not affect or change; reading books where people are largely pleasant and there’s a positive resolution at the end is calming.

@tinyroofnail Thanks! It absolutely does not need to be this way, and there is already pushback forming especially in the “elite” institutions.

📸 A test as much as anything to see what Gemma 4 26B did with providing ‘accessibility text’ for my photo.

\n

This is what it came up with:

\n
\n

A small structure with a dark roof covered in solar panels sits nestled among a dense backdrop of lush green trees.

\n
\n

Not too shabby. It was that kind of phrasing I had in my mind when I took it down by the beach last week, observing how the roof of an old boathouse (Unused? Do not know.) could double up as a baby solar ‘farm’ and not be that distracting.

Farm? Ok ‘backlot’.
