Re: Is Apterous down?
OMG - a 'Normal' life. Bet, you think it's going fine until you find yourself in front of your PC about to log in for a much needed game or twenty on Apterous and suddenly it dawns on you - you CAN'T!!!sean d wrote: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.

As for Horace, he's probably huddled up by the fire drinking copious cups of KOHRISCL. I'm just glad I have unused Countdown calendars - puzzles every day, and several half completed Countdown books.

Another game for your pleasure generated by Kountdown. Patterns will be 3, 4, and 5 vowels for the letters. Random.org determined the numbers game will be two six smalls, a two large, and a four large, in that order. Conundrum made by me (hopefully it's OED valid)

I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Selected declarations from that game, Johnny.
Round 9, hopefully the only method (haven't checked) is (50 x 75 - 100 x 3) x 7 / 25
Round 15, is the word I always guess CEOANTHUS for but it's actually CEANOTHUS according to lexplorer
Not going to pretend I had a go at those letters, they look pretty dirty.

Re: Is Apterous down?
Just wondering if it's down atm?
Can't even get to the front page on either Chrome or IE, so don't think it's the recent Java problem.
The "Is it down for everyone or just me?" page says it's just me.
