Normally this post would be saying something about how Skype was offline for over 24 hours, but tides have changed, and things that would normally be a calamity is now just a minor inconvenience.
It doesn't seem like the issue is 100% resolved, as only 3 of my Skype contacts are online, when normally there are over 40!
Just have patience and Skype will eventually connect, although by that time you won't be at your computer but when you get back it will have disconnected, and if you were lucky enough to be sitting at your computer the moment it did connect, you would have thrown your hands up in frustration at the sight of no one else online, because Murphy's Law states that, "If person #1 is trying to talk to person #2 on Skype, person #2 will never be online the moment that person #1 is." (How is that for a run-on sentence?)
So don't give up hope, people of the world. There will soon come along another new technology start-up that will take the world by storm, winning awards and the affections of all the internet users, only to be bought out by a multi-national corporation and little by little turn into bloat-ware while degrading quality and one fine day it will crash on you, leaving all its users scratching their heads and weeping bitterly, until a new technology start-up appears, and it will take the world by storm...
PS. Happy Birthday Fifi! Have a great year!
