I feel bad when I spend a lot of time on this site that makes things better for me to administer the site, or SEO or whatever, but ultimately isn't making new posts. 

But that's what happened today!

I introduced my daughter to Thai chili peppers last night. She's one and a half.

Let me explain.

Couple of days ago I made the Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water. Yesterday I used the remaining Thai and cayenne chili peppers from the garden to start a basic fermented pepper mash. I seeded the peppers and chopped them up, and this is where our story begins.

Earlier today I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to get the email of the currently logged in Salesforce user. Specifically, using the SalesforceSDK in iOS, using Objective-C.

You'd think this would be easy. Just look at the documentation! Alas! Salesforce has not decided to invest much into the consistency and comprehensiveness of their documentation.

Okay. Google! Surely Google will have the answer!

Inspired by It's Alive with Brad Leone I picked up a copy of Firey Ferments from the library.

Finally got images working on the weblog again. The answer was, somehow the permissions for the insert module were wrong, and somehow it was disabled for the weblog entry (on the Manage Form Display page).

I need a post dated in the future to see if my new "filter by 'authored on' field" condition works for the view powering this blog.

It works! Sort of! I think I might tweak it a little later on but for now I'll leave it alone. I should check the rss feed while I am at it.... and it works as expected as well.

Yesterday I was at the gas station and I spotted a guy with what looked like a cigar box guitar headstock coming up out of his backpack. I walked up to him and started a conversation, and sure enough it was a homemade guitar (not a cigar box, but he used a box that was about the same size.)

[Just the headstock on this thing was so cool. He used eye screws for tuners; it was pretty badass.]
