Anwar gets arrested, my traffic skyrocketed

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.
