Tim’s take on the Skype Failure
Here is my take on why Skype failed last week…
9:00am PST: IT noob spills coffee on server
9:01am PST: IT noob “OH SHIT”
9:05am PST: Millions of Skype clients shut down…
9:10am PST: Company director “OH SHIT”
9:15am PST: Rest of the IT team to IT noob “man you are getting fired for this”
9:30am PST: Skype Tech Guys on phone to local comp shop “so it’ll take till monday?”
10:00am PST: Company director “fuck…”
01:00pm PST: IT Noob ” *sniff* I’ll miss this place”
01:01pm PST: Company director hands IT noob the bill for the down time
01:10pm PST: IT noob rushed to hospital in ambulance with heart failure
01:15pm PST: IT noob in stable condition but a bit shaken
01:45pm PST: IT team vists the IT noob “man you so fucked up”
01:52pm PST: IT noob pronounced dead
03:00pm PST: Company director sells shares in Skype
05:00pm PST: Company director rings AOL “Ebay is selling us cheap! Are you guys in?”
05:30pm PST: Skype staff go home after just another day at the office…
Yup, thats about my take on the whole thing… ’nuff said…

Is any one else getting pop-ups on their del.icio.us page? they disappear when I switch to https - for example, on the “settings” page, but seem to be resisting all attempts to block them, only happening on that one site though - weird.
