Late Flea

Yesterday my server was hit by what I can only assume was a problem related to the one Michelle Malkin has reported. I lost access to the Flea fifteen minutes after TypePad went down under a "sophisticated distributed denial of service attack." I had thought my MT set-up was relatively immune to these sorts of difficulties and was outside the line of fire Hosting Matters folks have to deal with. I have apparently lost data after some file corruption somewhere - I do not yet know what is missing - but am mainly relieved to be back in service. Sincere thanks to Verve Hosting for their prompt, courteous help in addressing the situation.

On related notes: While I love the MySpace Video arrangement I gather Safari-browsing Flea-readers are crashing out on the site and I expect the videos are the problem. The only change I can think of are the MySpace posts so I am going to stick with the tried-and-true Flea-dance arrangement. Finally, I have not checked to see if TypeKey is working. It stalled out again yesterday and I am now thinking I should move to a less-restrictive comment system.

I would definitely take it as a compliment but I expect my problems were a side-effect of being on one of the servers they were after.
