I got pulled over for extra screening at JFK this morning. Apparently my lunch set off the alarm bells. I had a ziploc bag containing a smoked turkey leg and some baby carrots. None of the security screeners could guess what the turkey leg was until they opened my bag, but they did let me through with it. I could swear I’ve carried on turkey legs before, but maybe next time I’ll bring sandwiches.

Makes me wonder: what other dangerous foods could you get on board with? Leg of lamb? Hard salami? Does stinky cheese count as a biological weapon? And should I really be uploading this post through the airport wireless network? (Too late to worry about that: the post just autosaved. Thanks WordPress.)

My PHP error logs are filling up with errors like this one:

[05-May-2007 06:11:56] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: livePreviewDivAdded in /var/www/thecafes/wp-content/plugins/live-comment-preview.php on line 24

so I decided to see if I could fix it. I think the problem is this line:

$livePreviewDivAdded == false;

I’m using this post to test that.

I guess Microsoft didn’t read this article. Silverlight will run on the Mac but can’t be authored there. This means at least half the people who might think about developing for it won’t be able to.

Cabbage White, Pieris rapae, Sandy Hook, 2007-04-29

This is very common invasive species, probably the most common butterfly in our area; but it’s so flitty that this is the first half-decent picture I’ve gotten of one in several months of trying.

Can anyone identify the flower it’s perched on?
