apterous stopgap

Until apterous stabilises sometime this week, you can get your fix by going here and following the link. A few things may not quite work right, but it's better than nothing.

Thanks, Charlie!

Worked perfectly!

Not that I'm addicted to apterous (not much!

).

So, it's not your fault, Charlie?

Yes. Brilliant. You wonderful man.

Charlie said that he could fix the server if it goes down. That's why I asked the question I did.

Hi Charlie,

Tried to PM but don't think it worked.

I don't know if I am just computer illiterate, or making a mistake somewhere, but I can't log into apterous from your C4C link. I am sure I am putting in my details correctly, but as I am normally logged in automatically when I click on my 'favourites' link, I may well be wrong.

Anyway, if you could be so kind as to reset my password, I would be grateful. It is hard, not having my daily fix!

Cheers,
Sarah.

Eureka, Charlie!

I wish I could give you a cyber handshake right now!

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 10:49 pm

I'm not into cybering, even this "handshake" you're talking about, but thanks for the offer.

Ok - So now I know I am an idiot. Still can't log on. Maybe I don't know my own username? I was sure it was just sarah white. I really should write these things down. Sorry to be a pain, Charlie.

By the way - i managed to send this to myself, last time - and now have 2 messages lingering in my outbox, without a clue what to do with them. I guess computers and myself are never going to be good friends.

When you send someone a PM, it remains in your outbox until the recipient has opened it, at which point it moves to your sent messages folder.

Thank you Phil - so now i know!

sarah white · Post by **sarah white** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 11:09 pm

Yay - I am in! And yes, i am an idiot!

Thanks Charlie

How did you get Apterous on to another server, Charlie?

Your words not mine!

Magic. And lots of vaseline.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:25 am

Lotion?

Howard Somerset · Post by **Howard Somerset** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 7:09 am

I see the stopgap gets us into cdb as well. Any route into wiki?

He only used vaseline cos he was completely out of KY, Jason.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 9:07 am

Indeed, like Colonel Sanders, I'm right out of KY.

The wiki issue is unrelated and I'm currently battling to get that fixed.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 6:51 pm

thanks for this Charlie

Philip Jarvis · Post by **Philip Jarvis** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 11:20 pm

Unbelievable!

I get 2 9 letter words in the 1st 4 rounds of a game - OUTLINERS & MACAROONS and then the system goes down and I can't get back in.

I'm off to bed

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 2:11 am

I'll see what happened in my break.

You and me both, Sarah.

Given the amount of hoops I had to jump through to get proper Apterous working, I'm not surprised, BUT that IP number page is going nowhere for me! Guess I'll just have to resume my Backgammon addiction till BT have got their act together.

The IP address does change regularly so it's probably worth it to keep trying. You could always try pinging it (enter ping <IP address> into your search / run box above the Windows icon). If it can ping it I'd keep trying, if not we'll keep our fingers crossed for some doubles for you

I've just been similarly unsuccessful

oh well, I suppose I'll have to clean the house now then

I was just thinking your husband was a very lucky man! Well done Apterous for evening the odds slightly for those of us who not only don't have beautiful wives, but also have to clean our own houses when we get home.

Are there no end to the benefits of that program?

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 12:33 pm

The normal address should start working from now; depending on your ISP, it may be sometime this evening before you can access it.

In other good news, the wiki is now back at wiki.apterous.org.

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 9:31 pm

Thanks for working so hard to keep it going for us in the melee! It would've been really easy to say "see you all in a fortnight" and I (we?) really appreciated the stopgap

I think so anyway - my form's been in freefall the last couple of weeks

Top job cheers

Charlie, why is the Countdown Wiki now on Apterous and why couldn't you renew countdownwiki.com's old domain?
