Skype downtime
Since yesterday morning my Skype status is offline for a very trivial reason - the Skype service down due to logging problems within the Skype servers [source]. I’m mentioning this, because if my Skype is down, is like my phone line is down. An year ago I wouldn’t have imagined that a simple program would mean that much to everyday communication with clients, contractors, friends and family, but now it does.
Now what’s left is to wait so see how fast it will be fixed. It’s now almost 24 hours since it’s down and still counting…
obviously Skype doesn’t have a disaster planning section. Any business worth its salt has a disaster plan so that if key system dies a back up cuts in. My opinion is that Skype is either too naive, not professional or too money tight to implement a disaster recovery system. It can be done, so Skype can’t say its not possible. Come on skype, we expect better whne so many people depend on you. Also, I paid for telephone connection, and OFTEN, I say often, its not better than PC to PC, SO…. why should I pay for rubbish ! Please don’t say well its cheap so why complain, I say don’t advertise good service when you CANT SUPPLY IT !

Hola
Desde ayer por la maГ±ana mi estado de Skype esta fuera de lГnea por una razГіn muy trivial - el servicio de Skype sin funcionar debido a los problemas de registro dentro de los servidores de Skype. Estoy mencionando esto, porque si mi Skype estГЎ abajo, es como si mi lГnea telefГіnica estuviese caГda tambiГ©n. Hace mas de dos aГ±o no me habrГa imaginado que un simple programa significarГa tanto en la comunicaciГіn diaria con los clientes, los contratistas, los amigos y la familia, pero ahora.
Ahora lo que me queda es esperar y aguantarse. Ver lo tarda en arreglarse este problema. Llevamos ya casi 24 horas desde la caida del servicio, va y viene esta haciendo intentos de restaurarse pero sigue sin funcionar correctamente.
Perhaps they want to show us how dependend we are on such things like skype… im talking every night at least one hour to my girl in scottland, and now im waiting really hard to hear here againg… no sms, no skype out, nothing…
that sucks..

It was terrible. I had so much stuff planned to do via skype that I couldn’t. Even worse than when my gmail account was down.
PS eBay stock fell down about 8 percent :)
It is really so. I use it for being connected to clients, friends, relativies, the entire world. And now that it is down, it seems that the world stopped. I hope to get online asap
My skype got back for a while an hour ago and then it went dead again… :(
Still waiting again…
