Viet Anh (revisited) Three and a half chilli rated
Re-visited: 28/08/2006
Three and a half chilli rated
Address details and our original thoughts are here.
We went back to Viet Anh as the chef has changed and the quality was much better as the new rating reflects.
Good for: The spiciest base stock.
Bad for: People in a hurry (slow service).

Adventures in Vietnamese cooking
This is the result of an attempt to create Bun Bo Hue at home. I made a few fundamental mistakes including the wrong type of noodles, but the results were encouraging.

Help DRM and forward lock
Help! I'm stuck on a demo for a client who wants a mobile content distribution platform. I've created a phone capabilities object that can resize images according to the screen size of a phone and I can create a WAP push message to the phone.
The problem I have is the response from the WAP push URL.
I found the following sample PHP code:
And the following in java
My port into c# looks like this
My handset downloads the request, and then gives the message 'Download failed'. It is a sony ericsson D750i. The response looks like this...
Any help would be very much appreciated and can be exchanged for pints or Umbraco help....

Little Hanoi Four and a half chilli rated

Four and a half chilli rated
Little Hanoi Restaurant
147, Curtain Rd, London, EC2A 3QE
Our comment: A little Gem of a place. Great spicy stock with good fresh ingredients. Looked a bit commercial, non-authentic from the outside, but the Bo Bun Hue we had was among the best we've had.
Tragically the picture of the food has been lost from my camera phone.

Viet Anh has a new chef
I went back to the Viet Anh Cafe on Saturday. The chef has changed and the stock is now anything but week. I'd say it has gone up to a three maybe even and three and a half, but I need to take my partner in crime back to give a new 'official' rating and take some photos.

Umbraco backup allows restore across SQL server versions
Using the Umbraco backup XML mode SQL server restore tool, you can develop a site on your local host running SQL server 2005 express and then migrate that database to SQL 2K on a shared hosting environment with just a couple of quick dos commands (any Umbraco supported version to any other version is fine).

The Umbraco Backup manual is available to download.
There will be an update added shortly on how to restore from an XML mode backup. Finally, I will look at adding scheduling which will wrap up development of 1.0.
