Skype service returns after weekend of 'frustrating' outages

Published: Sunday, August 19, 2007

Users of Skype- an Internet program that is used by more than 200 million people worldwide to make long-distant phone calls for cheap - breathed a sigh of relief after the telephony company announced on its website that its service had gone back to normal Sunday.
The Internet telephone service had experienced technical difficulties since Friday, as users were not able to sign in to their accounts. Some people and businesses, including thousands of Canadians, use the service as their exclusive telephone provider.

"Take a deep breath. Skype is back to normal," reassured a representative on the company's blog this morning.
"On Monday, we'll provide a more detailed explanation of what happened. Until then, we'd like to apologize and thank you. Precisely in that order."
Skype also expressed regret over the problems, saying "we know how difficult and frustrating the past two days have been."
Skype, which is free to download online, has gained popularity for its cheap rates for long-distance calls, and often free service, which connects users with other computers and landlines across the world in over 25 countries.

The service is also used for instant messaging and video conferencing, among other things.

The outage is now being blamed on Microsoft and the auto update of patches, which then caused many machines to reboot.

Go to the site mentioned... the flying button is a tease. The page script comes from a book on Java coding. See the page source for details if you are into Java.

If you backspace the site address, and get the main page there are some very funny cartoons and other things.... there is one image of a woman that has Fidel Castro's face on her lower stomach, and where Fidel's beard would be is the crotch area, and the woman is holding a cigar which seems to belong in Fidel's bearded area... amazing what some people will do with art work to get a laugh etc.

Nice that you had a laugh, perhaps now you can see the perspective of others.
