Skype Watch is down again in order to concentrate on new – non-Skype related business – according to SkypeJournal.

Jan’s – the blog owner – comment to this is:

“yep. that is right. I don’t see the point in talking about skype right now. It feels like everything has been said already. I’ll be looking forward to see what the new CEO of Skype will be coming up with for the skypethisandthat domains. Eitherways, currently I am not even an affilliate of Skype. www.cj.com kicked me out long time ago. I got also removed from the friends of Skype panel, so what’s the point ? The point is that there is no simple way to make money with something like Skype. Skype wants everything for themselves. So be it. I refuse to be the idiot that keeps reflecting on “skype for business”, since all what it seems to become is yet another IM toy. The other point is that Skype has not yet developer proper functioning business-channels and does not have strong representation in x,y,z countries. It would not be smart to go push companies into the hands of Skype. What’s in it for the people who would do that… Not much. Hence Skype Out for now.

My personal opinion is: A big pity! Especially since it was one of the best Skype related blogs and info sources. Let’s hope it will be back soon!

I am having a ViewSonic VX924 as some of you already know but just recently it constantly switched on an off for 5 mins after powering it up if not being in use for 6-8 hours.

Luckily, I had 3 years warranty on this beast and so I called warranty hotline of ViewSonic and I have to say it went smoothly without any issues!

Warranty hotline was very friendly, unfortunately no replacement unit was on stock so they promised me to call back once a unit was available for me which they did after a weeek and promised me to deleiver it within the next 3 days which they did. GLS came, picked up the old monitor and brought a new one, thanks ViewSonic!

Infact, due to confusions earlier, and thanks to Siim in the comments of my previous post:

There is indeed an even newer firmware update from December, 5th called 11.0.22 P1 while the older one was from November, 20th!

It even features a changelog:

The main difference compared with the original firmware are:

-The firmware is now multi-lingual, there are two versions with different languages. If you want to keep using the phone in English, you can use either one

-The firmware has improvements for some problems some customers have reported with the phone causing echo effects

-The firmware now supports Wireless Networks on channel 12 and 13
Compared with the previous update (version 1.1.0.10 R20), the main changes are:
General improvements to functionality and stability

-A problem with icons for voice mail / missed calles incorrectly appearing under some circumstances has been fixed

-A problem with the vibration function has been fixed

Please be aware that you can only install this update after you have applied the previous one. To check the firmware version on your phone, select Menu, Settings, Information. If the current version is anything below 1.1.0.10 R20 (note the version number starts with two 1’s) apply the previous update first.
