Has the Internet gone M(B)AD?!

I’m having all sorts of crap the last couple of days! First on the list is Skype. It seems that they’re experiencing some problems with their authetication servers. So the whole world seems quiet and everyone looks like the are reverting to old technology like phoning each other… You can monitor this: http://heartbeat.skype.com/ to see when this will be fixed!

Next, Twitter is doing the weirdo. Keep getting SERVER ERROR messages trying to access Twitter profiles. It also does not update my IM client when friends send updates to their profiles. I’ve written a python updater class, which also bails on me periodically. Oh, the joys of “too much activity for the system resources to handle”…

Then there was del.icio.us, gmail… Not going my way today…

  Not only that but jabber.obsidian.co.za has been giving trouble the last couple of days. That Twitter is giving issues is no surprise to me; they have been giving issues for months now.

  I prefer life without Skype. I have not been using it now for a long time after it broke on my Linux machine and you find that a lot less of the “wrong” kind of people contact you if they have to pay for an expensive cell call.

Spit it out!
