Keith – I wonder how common a phrase that is? Probably pretty out-of-date. The book does sound like a good coincidence, though – something about the name “Charlie,” I guess.

marja-leena – You said it! What gets me is the need to continually upgrade to new hardware and (in this case) software. I was perfectly happy with WordPress 2.0! Adapting this theme, which I like so much, to the new version was as much of a pain in the ass as I thought it’d be. But the new server should be much more reliable – I think I was losing readers before, because it was often slow-loading and sometimes not there.

Natalie – Well, that depends on who you talk to. But in this case, it was my own laziness/stubbornness that got us into trouble. I knew how vulnerable older versions of WordPress were to hacking. It even happened to Al Gore’s website not too long ago.

Hope the Charlieness was confined to computer mind-machine matters and not to your good self? Glad to see comments working again.

Sorry about your troubles! Happy to have your comments working again! The technology is wonderful, except when there are problems.

In my attempt to find the origins of “Not altogether Charlie” on google your post, of course, comes up first.

Then I find this. Kismet?
