This morning, I manually ran my upstreamPostIndex script because I'm never home or on the computer at any set time and I don't leave Radio or my computer running when I'm not at home for a few reasons (my power supply needs to be replaced and since I've had people in and out lately..I don't want to leave it on) Anyways, every time I try to manually run this script I get this error in the event log:

Can't upstream because "Can't read stream because TCP/IP error code 10060 - Connection timed out."

I figured out this might be caused by my firewall, so I made sure that I have this box checked in the prefs > firewall NAT? >

If your machine is behind a firewall or NAT, your desktop computer may not be able to receive messages over the Web. Some functions of Radio UserLand, such as RSS change notification, are disabled if you're behind a firewall.

Check this box if you are connected to the Internet behind a firewall or a NAT.

And I made sure that the Windows XP Internal Internet Firewall app is not checked

However I still get the error message on the event log and the only way to get my upstreamPostIndex Script to run is to stop my firewall, manually run the script and let Radio upstream and then restart my firewall....

The question is why? does this happen? I did a google search and there are pages and pages of people with the same problem using radio or salon... is this a problem on my end or a radio userland problem? Many questions. I have a work around but I don't think i should have to stop my firewall in order for my upstreamPostIndex script ot work...any thoughts out there?

Interesting enough, I forgot this one little step with the monthly archive macros...I decide to finally update all my blogrolls with the monthly archive macro but forgot to add this:  flProcessMacros:true to the end of the blogroll macro...

lets see if it worked....I'll write a newbie tip soon :)

I want my home back, I want my life back,  I want to sleep in my own house for as long as it I still have this little house and I want to get lucky with finding a new home for me and my cats..and I don't neccessarily want to have to move to Fairfield to find a home...is this too much to ask for?

I'm exhausted..I just want to sleep in my own house and not have these contractors here. I wish I had another week before I started my new job...but then again, that might help me take my mind off all these problems that seem to be cropping up in my life right now...

I feel like I'm in the terrible twos stage of my life again..I WANT!!!
