winter's here.. I knew it was going to rain, I saw the clouds yesterday..I mean its winter season but really with 80-90 degree weather it didn't seem possible winter was ever going to show up...but now all the construction stuff on the side of my house..the sheet rock, the grout material, etc.. is probably all ruined...oh well, it was all free and I love the rain...(gotta remember to listen to that inner voice that said...get that stuff into the garage *grin*) 7:34:18 AM    comment [] trackback [] XML and RSS files... Someone asked me a question about the point of XML or RSS files...I answered to the best of my knowledge but if anyone can explain a little better...please comment... Question: What is the point of the XML (or RSS) files? Can they be edited? Actually the blog seems to operate with HTML, so I haven't quite got why the XML files are necessary Userland's Definition: Radio automatically turns the content on your weblog into a XML feed that can be syndicated and subscribed to by other Radio users. Here is what I understand about it: your blog is in HTML format so you can edit and post it but Radio converts it to XML in the background so that your blog can be read in the RSS format which is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites or blog sites. You are editing the XML files in a round about way when you edit your blog. 7:30:55 AM    comment [] trackback [] Newbie Tips

wish list updated and other thoughts the sexy magick wish list has been updated...things crossed off, things added it sucks having the flu, I have no motivation to clean the house, do the weekend errands, etc.. and what sucks the most..I guess today was a record hot day for October but here I was sweating and then chills then hot and exhausted and slept most of the day and missed this beautiful day..which is why I'm up at 2am..but I'm still tired and I'm off to bed soon...unlike a man, I want someone here to hold me and be here with me and take care of me when I'm sick..although I can understand not wanting to get sick too..   1:57:14 AM    comment [] trackback []

maybe another blog in the works...but not moving I'm thinking of starting another blog, the concept is the inner desires of sexymagick or the sexier side of sexymagick...not sure what I want to name it but I like the idea of blogspot or I might try movable type... but I'm leaning towards blogspot because I like the idea of being able to put the name you want before ________.blogspot.com and I don't really want to pay for another domain name to forward to a blog...or have to ftp a blog to my another hosting location, I really like that Radio includes a hosting service, as does blogspot and movable type...hmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions... possible new name ideas (any opinions?) sexymagickdesires sexymagicksecrets sexymagickxxx 12:13:06 PM    comment [] trackback []

True Love Falling in love with someone that isn't in love with you and admitting it to that person is incredibly hard (I know he cares about me but I also know he isn't in love with me). Telling yourself that you aren't in-love only makes it hurt more inside, I think because you aren't being honest with yourself or at least it is for me. Telling that special someone in your life that you don't want them completely out of your life sounds wishy washy but for me, its true, I don't want him to go away. I'd really miss talking to him and honestly I'd miss kissing him. He turns me on more than any other man every has and I've learned what turns me on. I haven't shared much about my personal life these past 5-6 months because I told him - I wouldn't put anything about him on this blog...this was/is definetly more than just a buddy vibe..this was chemistry and still is very much so..I wasn't looking for him at all, he sorta of just appeared in my life one day and I almost didn't go out with him in the first place but talked myself into it..we had chemistry right from the start. I felt him pulling away and I knew in my heart of hearts, that this relationship was changing..but I didn't want to let go and still don't.  I'm not looking and have no desire to look for anyone else in my life but I also don't think he is holding me back anymore because I now have told him the truth about my feelings and started being honest with myself. Love is hard. I wish he was in the right place in his life for a committed relationship. I know that everything happens for a reason, there was a reason he came into my life and there is a reason he will continue to be in my life no matter what. Love evolves..friendships evolve...just a matter of listening to your heart and being honest with yourself and your friends. (please no negative comments about this) 11:15:29 PM    comment [] trackback [] Dating

The ongoing discussion board top today was tcp error messages "Can't upstream error message 10061" and "radio system storage down?" which is basically the same problem, radio users keep getting the following error messages: 10061, 10054, 10060... Marcus pointed out a reference point, Windows TCP Error Codes, for these error messages which is a great because I could never find any exact meanings to these message except what my events log was generating, for example: 10054 - WSAECONNRESET -- Connection reset by peer. This occurs when an established connection is shut down for some reason by the remote computer. 10060 - WSAETIMEDOUT -- Connection timed out. 10061  - WSAECONNREFUSED -- Connection refused. You will usually see this error when a server refuses a connection from a client, because the server is not listening on that port. Now the question I have and I'm sure others have is why? why was the connection refused? why has the connection timed out? why was the connection reset? Roland pointed out that Lawrence answered by saying "Sorry, the server had problems, but now it's up." Roland also said instead of saying, "We had a problem", please say it's because: 1. You're understaffed 2. Your servers stink 3. Your sysadmin sleeps from time to time Whatever the reason, PLEASE GIVE US SOME REAL EXPLANATIONS   10:04:58 PM    comment [] trackback [] damn, damn..i threw away my office door key instead of the bad front door key... I woke up this morning and realized that I might have done something stupid last night..we had to change the locks on the doors last night at work when we fired someone..so I got all the new keys and changed out my key however I think I threw away my office door key and not the front door key..at least I know where I threw away my key (i think, i hope..its in my trash can) but the question is..how am I going to get into my office this morning? The previous person was either such a control freak or totally paranoid, she wouldn't even let the cleaning crew in the office at night, she never left her door open when she walked away for a few minutes...so I doubt seriously if she ever gave anyone a spare key... the question is do I just pick the lock..shouldn't be that hard, its a standard lock or do I call a locksmith? (then again, jill of trades that I am..could pick the lock *grin*) since my upstream didn't work this morning..here's the latest update..they found a spare key, rescued my thrown away key and all is good..I won't do that again :) 7:49:58 AM    comment [] trackback []

picture of me, thoughts about a friend, etc... everyone at work is fascinated with my camera phone..and took a picture of me with it, which i don't usually let anyone take a picture of me...haven't really liked the way I looked in the past..didn't want a permanent picture of it..but this one, I liked..so here is a more recent picture of me why do men disappear when they are sick? a friend has just completely cut himself off from the world...i don't care if I get sick, i don't care if you are a little bitchy, i just would like to see you because i care about you..and miss seeing you smile. i brought all this work home for the weekend and didn't even look at it..oops, I guess I'll be working late tomorrow evening or at least for the next few nights.. 11:26:03 PM    comment [] trackback []

where i've been the last week... started a new job about a week and half ago..feels like I've been there forever some days..i think i also have the flu so last week was crazy.. oh and I'm not used to wear heels and dressing up everyday so my back and legs are killing me..who made women's heels? Pantyhose, I don't do...more of a pain than the heels.. and had no idea how to call internationally and really need to figure out the geography of the world......breakdown of week at new job 5:21:18 PM    comment [] trackback [] movable type vs radio looks like people are moving over to movable type..hmmm, not sure if I'll join them or not although I really like some of the features of movable type but it looks a little more complicated to me than Radio and you must have a hosting service to run it....which most people have..I just like the idea of radio including the hosting service with the $40.00 per year..and have no plans to switch any time soon.   4:55:54 PM    comment [] trackback []

Thanks in advance for any help :) 12:08:42 PM    comment [] trackback [] grasping the concept of RSS Enclosures Small changes for Radio...grasping the concept of RSS Enclosures which "now includes a setting for choosing where to save downloaded enclosures" I went to the RSS enclosures prefs page and checked the box "that enables the option to add enclosures to your own output channels" and a new field did appear on my desktop website home page but now what? I thought I grasped the concept when I read it the first time but now I'm somewhat more awake than the other day and the concept eludes me...I've searched for RSS Enclosures but nothing is making sense..maybe I am still asleep...     12:00:42 PM    comment [] trackback []

ramblings, strange comments and exercising.. I am so tired..I went to bed about 2:30am and had to get up by 6am..I thought I would come home and exercise because I've been getting home at 5pm..(love my new hours and commute) and don't know what to do with myself..I'm not used to getting home so early..so all thoughts of exercise today are gone, sleep, I want sleep but if I go to sleep now..I'll wake up too damn early..but tommorrow is another day and I am defintely starting an exercise program..some today at work said since I was showing I should tell the drug testing company up front so the test doesn't come out weird..I didn't make any comments..at first I was thinking huh? then it dawned on me what she was saying...and just in case you yourself are wondering, NO I'm NOT...just a little overweight in all the wrong places, after a comment like that..time to start that exercise program tommorrow as soon as I walk in the house..I'm going to go pull my bike out right now and put air in the tires..so I'm all ready to go.. 6:22:06 PM    comment [] trackback [] the versions of office xp Did you know that Office XP makes a standard version of their office suite which just includes word, excel , outlook and powerpoint..??? I didn't until today..I just thought there was a home version and the professional version..maybe I've been spoiled working for a company that was a microsoft partner..and I guess really spoiled because I have the developer's suite at home..but really how does one think they can create databases without Access installed on their computers or an intranet without Frontpage? And now I'm curious what version of Windows XP is installed? its gotta be, professional..but not positive....(this is at the new job..since I'm managing the IT person/dept..I have questions and have gotten some amazing answers) 5:41:55 PM    comment [] trackback []

Now, my question for all who participated in the discussion from hell and like an idiot I actually posted this question at the end of the discussion from hell, why can't you just convert your mp3 files to .wav file and upload that. Its easy to do and there is free software available or trial version of mp3 converters such as blaze audio wave creator(if you search for it) that allows for conversion of mp3 files to .wav files.
