It was an interesting day yesterday. Apart from people clearing the office and streets, some interesting conundrum was happening at home. I was buzzing away with the “Police Catches Anwar, Everybody goes home early” article on my newly installed Windows Live Writer. A much improved version from what I used to tinkle with a year ago must I add. I got the article done, and zoom, posted it on the web without any trouble. Then, I fire up my Firefox and access my blog through the usual interface. Little did I know one amazing thing was happening, and another ‘Crap in my Pants’ thing was about to materialize. As soon as I got the article posted, I received more than 1k of traffic during the night and majority of the traffic comes from Malaysiakini, yea, their trackback work wonders.
While my site was being hit crazy, I was snoozing into my Wordpress interface. Note Snoozing, not sure why my access to my site is sooooo slow. A note highlited that version 2.6 is released upon signing in. Sweet! I thought, I went to do the upgrade immediately. Everything went well, a testament to their 3 step upgrade. Bam!, my blog went down. None of the permalink to the individual article works. Only the Index page works fine. Took me hours to figure out what happen , by them, > 50% of this wonderful hits I have been receiving have passed. And I was left with a sore thumb and a red face.

On this day..
