When providing a little help comes back to bite ya…

April 28, 2006 | 9:35 pm

Damnit.

It looks like my weakness for intelligent, sexy women seems to not only have come around to bite me in the ass, but it’s also left an ideological tattoo that I’ll have trouble explaining to even my grandchildren.

I wouldn’t have thought too much of it if I had fallen to the charms of one my faves (Soledad O’Brien, Lisa Ling, Aisha Tyler, Ming Na), but this time it comes in the form of someone whom lies in the land of 180 degrees away from all thats liberally sane and hopeful. ^^

Now…see…when conservative pundit Michelle Malkin was looking for a new host for her popular blog a while back, I suggested my webhost, Hosting Matters. (Yes, I read Michelle. Gotta hear more than one side, right? Well, why not from a well written cutie pie?)

While I never heard back from her (I am just a lowly liberal type of guy ^_-), I found it very interesting to discover months down the road that she was actually using Hosting Matters as her new webhost.

(Note: I have no proof that she actually decided on Hosting Matters based on my suggestion. But it does make for a very interesting coincidence ^^)

Not only did Michelle take advantage of this excellent webhost, but apparantely she successfully recommended it to a number of her pundit friends, including other popular conservative blogs, like Instapundit and Power Line.

Fast forward to late January: the whole Mohammed cartoon fiasco. Michelle posts the actual cartoons on her blog. (Brave…Stupid…you decide)

Fast forward to today: Hosting Matters gets a denial of service attack from Saudi Arabia. All of the blogs go down big time.

Still today: Because of this DOS attack, all my sites go down too!!! (F me!)

Bleh.

So much for helping just for charity (and cutie’s) sake…

    Don’t Let Apparent Cyber Attack Lead to Hysteria and Wrong Conclusions…

    It seems a bit soon to have determined the source. The problem with DOS attacks is that the source may be quite different than what it appears at the onset. In any event we will likely see more of this in the future. It would be nice if Hosting Matters…
