They have mapped many of their trees and given each one an email address. According to their webpage it was really so that when a tree was damaged or diseased someone could simply “email the tree” and someone would be able to put the issue into the “lets get this issue fixed” queue.
But what happened was that folks were emailing the trees for non-repair type of issues and were general emails like the tree was living person, like an ENT from Lord of the Rings.
I was at the beginning “This is friggin awesome! Exactly what tech is supposed to be about”
Then the bomb dropped, man people are weird.
Case in point I was part of one of the first streaming companies online (2000). We would stream wrestling as our biggest draw until we got major sports onboard.
We had an email link for “support” for tech support.
A few days before the wrestling events we would get FLOODED with support emails… Nope not for why they can’t get the test stream to work. But to support their favorite wrestler. It was insane the shit these people would write.
“Email Support”. Yeah, I can kind of see someone wanting to support their favorite wrestler, and I bet people got really insane with their messages. Wrestling has some pretty interesting fans.
Perhaps if we named more tree’s people would take better care of them.
Exactly. Or our small town does the same. Each time a tree has to be cut, they plant a new one and add the old number. So the number of trees only ever goes up, never down.
Pretty sure they’re id tags for trees. Basically a way for the maintenance people to track and log data for each tree.
please hang name tags below each of these, so the trees get dignified names (such as “shady mcshade oak”) instead of just numbers
I want to name one!
“Mentos: The Fresh Air Maker”
Kinda catchy, might need a marketing campaign, hmmm
You can’t name one, but in Melborne, Austrailia, you can email one.

“log data”
Gotta log the log data in a log file.
But that file gets corrupted, so you look at the binary.
So that you can log the log data log’s data into a separate log file.
IF THAT FILE ISN’T NAMED
log.log, I’M GONNA BE SO MAD!Better organize these log.log files in a treeview.
Perhaps something like
log-44-20261013.logThose are the rolling files, the main log log is log.log. I insist!
Okay, but be careful. If the log rolls uncontrollably, it might hit something.
They should get proper ID plates with the picture and all
