I used skype-out extensively last month. I used to pay with my Visa credit card all the time and had no problems. Then Skype refused to process it saying I paid too much or something like that. I switched to PayPal. After a few hundred bucks it said I can’t use PayPal anymore. The other means of payment are unknown to me and I am just lazy to investigate and get into another crazy payment systems. I switched to 12Voip for now. Looks good, also works from Fring client via SIP thingie.

What are those yellow dots that don’t let scroll the chat window? Such a pain. And in general, the client app is getting worse. I wouldn’t complain, but I am in fact paying 20-30 bucks per month for skype-out thingie, so I guess I have a moral right to complain Need to get an older version and downgrade.

A known author of many java and flex-related articles Yakov Fain has published a book named “Enterprise Software Without the BS”. This is a fairly light yet a bit sarcastic (ok, ironic) reading about the software industry. It is available free of charge on his website. Highly recommended!

I’ve come across a really funny dialog here:
