I'd be interested to hear what you are finding with your Skype usage 
since Friday afternoon.  I am able to log in now automatically in WIN, 
but Kubuntu takes over five minutes to log in and make a stable 
connection.  WIN began to work about 0800 this morning (Saturday).

The "Who's Online" changes  sort of dribble in over the next 30 minutes, 
or so.  Some (most) of my US and Western European contacts are shown as 
on line despite the fact that attempts to ring them result in a message 
that they're not.  Our Skype phone at our house in Kashima can't see our 
Skype phone at our office in Tokyo -- and vice versa -- but both are on 
line, locally.

Skype's "heartbeat" page hasn't been updated for over 12 hours, either. 
 It's as though they saw a few icons turn green and decided to piss off 
for the weekend.  I see that some blogger on ZD is already wheezing on 
about "loss of trust" and predicting that net services were set back 
significantly by this blackout.
