Marcs Updater
There have been some reports about issues with the Updater not updating anymore. Please try the latest beta version and switch to another IP Check provider instead of the previous default dnsomatic.com. For some reason they are rate-limiting the number of requests to their service. The new IP Check provider selection allows you to choose another provider in such cases. You can test the functionality with the new "Test" panel.
If you want to add a custom provider to the unstable testing version, store a JSON file like the following under %PROGRAMDATA%\Marcs Updater\ServiceProviders\dyndns.json:
{
"name": "DynDNS.org (Test)",
"endpoint": "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update",
"method": "GET",
"queryString": "hostname={HOSTNAME}&myip={MYIP}",
"dataPayload": "",
"defaults": {
"username": "test",
"password": "test",
"hostname": "test1.customtest.dyndns.org"
}
}Supported query and payload tags are {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {HOSTNAME} and {MYIP}. Restart the background service and foreground application to apply any changes.

Again, the update went smoothly (this time the updater killed that error window :D), I am just curious, are now (when we have messages in the eventlog) balloon tips completely eliminated from showing in the system tray? Because that's what it seems to be the case (at least on my computer).

It does not show balloon tips for updates which happened because of the OpenDNS 2.5 + round(0.5) hours or week timeout. It should show balloon tips for all other updates, though. At least it does that for me.

Yeah, I just noticed one (this time I chose GPRS/EDGE instead of 3G because HSUPA is somehow slow for the past few hours). I guess I was getting the same IP for past few days from my ISP. That's strange though because before I was getting a different one each and every time I re-connected (i.e. disconnected/connected again), at least as far as I remeber....
