    Does setting a Featured Image Manually in the WP App Make It Appear on the Front Page (AKA Italian Parsley)?

    March 9, 2026 / 0 Comments

    This is an XML-RPC test of sorts. Also, the Featured Image for this post is my huge planter of Italian Parsley that I grew from a smaller bunch I bought at Makro. It kind of took off. It loves Thailand!! And these are some melon and pumpkin plants grown from seeds I put in another planter. I hope they bear fruit.

    Credit where credit is due: Gemini, not Claude, not BlyatGPT, helped me figure out persistent problems that were plaguing this site since I tried upgrading to Movable Type 5 and switched to WordPress all those years ago. Looking through the logs, we still get calls to mt-*.CGI scripts from very weird places. Side note: PuTTY still kicks ass.

    Overheard at Big C

    March 3, 2026 / 1 Comment

    I picked up Mina at school a couple days ago and we stopped by (the about to die at any minute) Big C on the way home to do some shopping for the few things it’s worth going there for – coffee beans, pistachios, keto sweetener. Mina overheard a staff dude asking one of the butchers in the meat area,”do chickens have spines?” The butcher confirmed kind of incredulously that they do, indeed, have spines. This set Mina off laughing for a good couple minutes. Then we got to the checkout, where either my pronunciation when I asked the old lady running the register if they had bags was off,…
