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.

"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."

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.

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.

I think I've got 112, maybe a break from apterous is (ironically) helping my performance. :)

If you add me on Facebook or Google Chat we can work through some things and try to get to the bottom of it. Pretty sure you won't be the only person experiencing this.

It was up just now, I was playing a game, then it froze at 10.42am. It's apparently down now.

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!

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!

Mind if I ask who you are on apterous? This is un-necessarily bugging me...

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? Did Charlie think about that when he neglectfully left his poor defenceless server behind so he could head off on a jolly?!
