Darkness

I have so noticed how dark is in in the mornings, trouble is with all the very cloudy weather I don't know if it's the weather or the time of year!

The bad news today for me is that Pandora have some new jewellery out and Donna has already seen two things that she likes the look of!

My bank balance is not happy at what might happen....

Website

As you know if you have been looking at this little blog of mine I have moved my website to a new hosting service, which was cheaper, in the uK and offered more than the old hosting service. The idea behind moving the hosting service to the UK was that they should be operating the same sort of hours as me which could be of a help if things stopped working.

Any way it turns out for reasons that I just don't understand that one of my domains did not for some reason get transferred over to the new host, so I have had to pay for it to be moved, it will be interesting to see if that all goes well.

The domain effected is citrusdreams.info this is the place that I hope to put the copied concrete 5 Dirk Maggs Productions Website and also the James Follett websites

Quite

So it's been quite on the website front mainly because of the move of hosts and getting used to how they operate and also the control panels that they give you to control your websites with.

L update

So L tells me that she appears to have trouble with just one of her kids excepting that things are going to change and that L has the right to a life. her kid is in her early twenties with a boyfriend she seemed to think that L should stay at home just on the off chance that she wanted to see her.

Music

One thing that I find that need to do every few days is to listen to some music, why is that?

I like music, I suppose that most people do and now that you don't need to be near a music centre the amount and type of music that one can listen to at a moments notice has I suppose got bigger and bigger.

But why do I need to hear music very couple of days?

Not a clue!

But I have noticed that I am not the only one who needs or finds themselves listing to mucus every day or every couple days, so I am in good company.

Blogs

I wonder sometimes if the number of blogs that are done each day is going up or down, wouldn't it be great if there was such a thing as a blog meter which showed you the number of blogs being posted by the hour by country in the world?

It bit like the trending thing you have on twitter but for blogs?

I wonder if the number of blogs posted is even something that can be captured and displayed?

Why it was a good idea to me at the time.

Things

Some things never change and others appear to change all the time, what I mean by this is that it's now late august and already I am aware just how much daylight we are now starting to loose, so I suppose it means that winter is on it's way.

Why all this stuff on L

I suppose that it is a good question why all this stuff on L?

It's a good question and the simple answer is that I have known L for a long time and to see the big life changes that she is going through is interesting and also very scary in that these changes can happen to anyone even to people who you think would have a stable relationship .

Just how does some one you know cope with all the change and disruption? To their life

I don't know the answer to that, all I do know is that it's nice to be there for someone you know and help and support them if they ask for help.

I have also been told by L that talking to someone who is not a relation but is a work friend does help with all that is going on, and surly in this day and age that is something worth doing?

So why write it down?

I suppose it's my way of dumping all this to a safe place so that when I look back on it all and what ever happens to L I will be able to see if the help and advice that I gave L was mostly right.

I don't expect to get it all right, as I am only human I will make mistakes, so the least thing that I can do about it is to learn from the mistakes that I make.

The other thing is that I don't think I would remember all the little things, which in the fullness of time may or may not make a difference if not to L to myself and Mrs D, as that relationship is and always will be the most important one.

Updating the N8

The good news is that I have finally got the N8 updated to Anna, reading the help forums on the main Nokia site it would appear that I have been very lucky in getting the update to work and even luckier that I have a working phone!

The sad thing is that later this year there is yet another update, I think that when this one turns up I shall wait a few weeks after it's release so that there is a chance that the update will install with no dramas.

L had a date

Well guesses as to who was late into work and left her car in the car park?

Yep

L did

She said to me that it was a great date, and admitted that she had fun, I asked her if the baby shower would be in late April 2012 she told me don't you dare jinx her !

So she said it was great and just how she wanted it to be and as she remembered it to be.

She and P on Saturday are looking now for a place to live for him then her.

So she has said that she is going to start slow packing up to 90 dresses and shoes that's a lot to pack.

And she has to file for divorce and when she has done that she is going to move out and go live with P.

One thing that she has to get her head around is how to tell the children all three of them and how all these changes are going to affect them.

L did say today that one of the reasons for her marriage to fail was the fact that M expected her to basically be the maid around the house and be at his beck and call, not what I would call a partnership.

L on a date

Updating N8

Well for reasons that now I can't remember I saw that there was a firmware update for my phone, well the good news is my phone still works that bad news is on part one of the update has installed part two will not load due to the phone not having enough free memory.

It's proving difficult to see how to free up space when you can't see the files on the phone.

L Update

So I managed to talk to L again and she has updated me on how things are all going, in more detail than she said the other day.

When she told M that she wanted a divorce the only real thing that he said was I suppose we will have to put the house up for sale, nothing about the marriage of 12 years. He also said that L had made it clear over the last few months that she was not happy, but as L has said if you have a partner who does not talk to you, does not want to be with you or inter mate with you then the end result is going to be the same, eg the relationship will breakdown and finally fall apart.

Meanwhile for L it looks like P and her have connected as if they have not been apart for 20 years....

P is going to be moving to the area as his current relationship finished some time ago and now he is being asked to move out so I suppose it makes sense for him to move near to L

This will be a problem for L as she will want to move in with him and she does not want her kids to be put in the position where they have to choose where to live with their mother or their father.

The other thing is with the way that the housing Market is trying to sell the house at a good price will not be easy as the one thing L and M want to are going to try to do is not to get into financial trouble while they work out how to sort their lives out.

L has said that she can wait a while for things to be sorted out but at the end of the day her marriage is over and has been for the last two years and that if M had done something about back then it would not have failed, I suppose it takes two to keep a relationship going but I suppose that at some stage if one person is doing 95 percent of trying to keep the relationship going there will come a time when you just give up.

Website

So the website is now on the new host and it appears to work okay, in fact all three domains that I own are all working , which is always good.

I have even managed to get the FTP programme working and can upload and download from each of the domains.

The only problem so far is that I can't get the redirect function to work correctly.

Will have to have another look at it when I have more time.

Updates on L

So L has told me that last Saturday 20th Aug that she wanted a divorce, so her meeting with P last week must have gone well for her to make the decision that she has and I suppose that she now can't go back to how things were.

The next few months will be very testing for L P and M as their lives are turned upside down. It remains to be seen if the outcome will be as they all want it to be and that most of them are going to be happy.

Website

So my new website is up and working the only problem that I have is to get all the content back on it.

The database driven Dirk Maggs Producer website is not working, I have backed up everything, that's the good news, the bad news is that I can't find where I saved the backup of the contents file which is some 8 megs in size, the database file is only 512 k.

I will have another good look around to see if I can find the file, if not I will have to make a choice as to what I want to do next.

As a temporary measure I am going to put up my old non database Dirk Maggs site, so that at least the search engines take people to a page with some information on Dirk Maggs.

I don't know at this time as to weather I want to have another data driven site.
