If Charlie's house was broken into, how would that affect Apterous?

It was and so far it doesn't seem to have had.

[Jason Larsen]

Mark, he said "his house was broken into."

[Mark James]

Mark, he said "his house was broken into."

No, he said his house was broken into. There were no quotation marks around it. Either way, what's your point?

No, he said his house was broken in two. This was to physically create Apterous Towers.

[Jason Larsen]

What?

Twin Towers? A burglary is the least of our worries.

[Jason Larsen]

Gavin, they are gone.

[Jon Corby]

Gavin, they are gone.

How did it affect apterous?

[Jason Larsen]

Gavin was just joking Jon.

If Charlie is insured, then he could perhaps use the insurance money to cover the cost of a new one.

[Jason Larsen]

Rhys, I doubt there's anything seriously wrong with it.

I don't know why Charlie would mention Apterous in the first place.

As a wild guess, in between Charlie's time bumming around Silicon Valley on the pretence of working for some backstreet hacks, watching baseball and schmoozing with girls wearing Daisy Dukes he's quite often working on bug fixes / patches for interactions with various OS - HW - browser - platform - Java upgrades / new features / the various pages that are on holiday or need updating / other good techie stuff. It makes sense to run these locally and make sure they're stable before they're rolled out so they're often tested on a subset of users (to prevent a mass roll-back) before they're uploaded for general use. You may not have noticed with every page if these changes don't necessarily affect you personally, but to prevent mass "this page was here / this worked yesterday/ I've upgraded to X and now it's stuffed" postings by affected users in the bug reports thread it's easier to explain that the local machine is now in the hands of some crim and normal service will be resumed shortly.

Hope that makes a bit more sense

Also hope it's insured and that they catch the bastards - that's news that really sucks Being a machine down's awful.

[Jason Larsen]

Charlie, my fingers are crossed for you!

[Rhys Benjamin]

hope it's insured

That's what I said!

If this is not an issue for Charlie, he can lock this topic right now.
