Hey there Fans. it’s the Angry Systems Administrator. I just got off the phone with the Angry Webmaster’s father. (The Webmaster is not known for his tech support skills…or any other skills for that matter)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyway, The Angry Father, who is in his mid 80’s and still works, was having a problem with Skype. While we all use Skype, And Mrs. Webmaster is known to live on it, I haven’t used it today. While we spoke, I checked the Skype Twitter feeds and found a message saying they were having a problem. I went off to Skype and they are getting slammed.<\/p>\n

A quick Google search and yep, Skype is having a major issue. The last time they had an outage like this was back in 2007. Hopefully this won’t last as long or be as disruptive.<\/p>\n

In any case, here’s a few links for you to check out.<\/p>\n
