So who did it? Speculation is out.

(12:58:09 AM) Stephen Sm: Again, I understand your frustration and do apologize for the inconvenience
try it yourself….
To take advantage of these special Black Friday prices, simply click this link to HostGator.com.
So I tried at 3AM when it was 5AM CST and tried to load in a reseller package and surprise the page failed to load twice. I gave up and went to bed and tried it again at 6:30am and it appeared to have worked… but surprise I am still waiting for my confirmation email!
I would consider this a major FAIL on the part of HostGator in terms of planning. The rude customer service on top of it all was not appreciated. Why is it that these companies think they have you over a barrel, remember you have options, HostGator is not the only hosting company.
I had the same problem with BlueHost. Lunar Pages is good, FatCow is also good and there are others. It appears that the bigger players are all about churn and burn. I don’t care what the CEO says. The spike in traffic is short term and the damage is long term to their image and professionalism, they leave a trail of many unhappy potential customers who write on blogs about the massive FAIL.
I don’t care that they sold out in 7 or 8 minutes, they fact that they are in the hosting business and could not properly anticipate the traffic leaves one wondering about their capabilities as a hosting company. We will see as I did signup finally, obviously not at the 80% because that failed.
We will see if I ever get my confirmation email!!!

Jose Rodriguez, owner of La Serenata de Garibaldi restaurants, dies at 76
Jose “Pepe” Rodriguez
After the success of their Boyle Heights restaurant, Rodriguez and his wife, Aurora, opened additional restaurants in Santa Monica and West Los Angeles.
He loved food and certainly gave me an appreciation of Mexican food.
Sr. Rodriquez will be missed. My condolences to his family.
We have not heard of services or what will happen with the restaurants, we imagine that they will continue to operate, although it will not be the same.

AT&T tweaks wireless terms of service to forbid video streaming, filesharing, data tethering
By Nilay Patel posted Apr 3rd 2009 12:24PM
Looks like AT&T’s taking some aggressive steps to manage network traffic now that it’s offering subsidized netbooks — the carrier updated its data plan terms of service last night to specifically single out and prohibit “downloading movies using P2P file sharing services, customer initiated redirection of television or other video or audio signals via any technology from a fixed location to a mobile device, web broadcasting, and… any applications that tether the device… to Personal Computers or other equipment.” That’s an impressively strict set of rules that seemingly bans a number of apps AT&T customers are already using without complaint — everything from SlingPlayer to Qik to Skype to Jaikuspot — so we’ll see if the company is really so tone-deaf as to try and retroactively prohibit their use, or if it’ll just ignore what it can’t possibly enforce. We’ve pinged AT&T for comment, we’ll let you know what they say.
P.S.- It’s not just AT&T struggling to keep up with how people actually use its network — Deutsche Telekom today threatened to cut off German T-Mobile customers who dare to use Skype. Nice. Can someone give all these guys some new ideas, please?
