Pictures of the Skype Outage
Courtesy of Nyanyan via Skype Numerologist Jean Mercier.

If you've never seen this chart before, the number of people simultaneously connected to the Skype network fluctuates through the day and over the weekend. Downloads are up as people try to fix the outage from their end. Here's a close-up:

Flatline at one million simultaneous users. Time zone for the chart is Tokyo time, JST+9.


Comments
The flatline at 1 million is because of the way the graph is plotted. In fact, the number was much lower. If the cale of "Nyanyan" had been as low as zero, you would have seen the values dropping sometimes to zero, or to 100.000, and so on.
