    Blueface would appear to be losing it. Feargal Brady, Blueface CEO has, out of the blue, decided to start leaving deliberately inaccurate, bizarre and unsubstantiated accusations against me in comments on a post on this blog. Some of these allegations are more personal than factual. Challenged to back them up he has repeatedly demurred. Long…

    I did! Skype are claiming that with their outage last week was due to massive numbers of people re-starting their computers after downloading Microsoft’s monthly software update! I am sure they are correct, despite how implausible it sounds. I am just curious about how Skype managed to keep the service running every other month that…

    Pat Phelan is persistence personified! He launched Allfreecalls.net earlier this year to some considerable acclaim only to have to shut it down after legal action by AT&T! Pat has been plugging away in the background ever since trying to get the service back up and running again. Yesterday Pat announced that Allfreecalls.net is back up…

    I have been trying unsuccessfully, to sign-up for Jangl‘s service for several days now. Part of the process involves calling their service, choosing and entering a four digit PIN. However, every time I have tried this, Jangl says it doesn’t recognise the PIN I have entered. The explanation can’t be as simple as Jangl doesn’t…
