Re: Is Apterous down?
Oh right, I forget that some people still go there even though it just redirects you to www.apterous.org. I imagine it was related to me moving cdb to cdb.apterous.org.Gavin Chipper wrote:It's working now, but it was http://apterous.org/Charlie Reams wrote:Looks like it's working to me.

Charlie days this on the Apterous Google+ page
"First weekend back, all seems to be going smoothly. We'll be upgrading our connection sometime this week, so there may be some minor disruption during the changeover."

Yes, yes it is down.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Usually I don't get a 404 when Apterous is down, this time is different.
Also, another 15 rounder via Kountdown's generators. Letters will alternate between 4, 5, and 6 consonants in that order. Random.org determined the numbers would be three games of 2 large and one game of 4 large. For the conundrum, I found one that I knew would be acceptable via their generator, and then made my own scramble.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Looks like it could be down for a few days according to Charlie on Google+. Bit of a nightmare... I'm recording on Wed!
Re: Is Apterous down?
109 Jordan. That's with 50 for numbers/ conundrum. They're some seriously horrible letters selections!

Re: Is Apterous down?
For those who don't Google+ Charlie posted :-
Yesterday 09:18
Disaster season is upon us again, the disk that contains all of apterous has crashed and died. We have good backups but realistically it'll take at least a few days to get everything up and running again. Sorry for the disruption.
Yesterday 23:15
After some pain we've successfully restored a backup from four days ago. (Other daily backups seem to have been corrupted along with the disk.) Still other work to do to get things back to normal, but we should be able to restore some sort of service on Wednesday or Thursday. And the missing days may yet be restorable.

Thanks for the information Ziggy and the best of luck for tomorrow Sean!
I think I've got 112, maybe a break from apterous is (ironically) helping my performance.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Can some people other than me start pestering Charlie for an official Facebook presence? At the moment it's about three people reading Google+ and Ziggy repeating messages here. Go on Charlie!

Down here.
My home is on the south side,
High up on a ridge,
Just a half a mile from
The Scarborough Valley bridge.

It was down. Then it was up. Now it is down. Or maybe half-way up. I'm giving it a new name: Duke-of-York-itis.

When it was up it was up, when it was down it was down, when it was only half-way up it was neither up nor down!

Re: Is Apterous down?
Weird. My productivity has plummeted. I use Apterous as my reward mechanism. So, I tell myself that, if I finished a particular piece of work, I can have a game. Without it, I am rather aimless and unmotivated!Gemma Church wrote: Hope the site comes back to life soon, they're going to get suspicious at work of my sudden spurt of productivity.

It's awful, I've had to interact with family, do jobs around the house, read books, watch tv and have conversations with people that extend beyond "hi, gl" and "gg, wp"... it's tough. I worry about Horace though, how's Horace gonna cope?
