Three Mobile goes down

It seems to have gone un-noticed really, possible because three mobile has very few customers in Ireland. But, being one of their customers (currently), I had no coverage until late last night. Needless to say three did not apologise to its customers by way of a text or even a few bob credit. However, I suppose it does demonstrate how reliant I am on my mobile phone, especially since I could receive messages and calls, but not make them!

One good thing did come from this outage though. SKYPE, I called a few of my friends on their landline for 2cents per minute, which costs much more on a mobile depending on your network from 15c to 50c per minute! I think I may continue to use the service over my mobile phone for calls! Its like what they say when a window closes a door opens (…something like that)

In other news, I have launched a forum website called SilentCode.net – There is much work to do on this, and the database is from a site I ran previously, but the general idea, is to create a small community of people who like to discuss Technology, Entertainment and Humour.( If your interested in helping hit me with a message – or Skype/MSN me). I’ll have more on this soon, but the site is active for now, so check it out. I’m also working on some new sites with a few interested people, so let’s see where they go!
