Saigon Lounge - Three chilli rated

Three chilli rated

111-113 Wandsworth High Street, London, SW18 4HY.
http://www.london-eating.co.uk/7260.htm

This strange late pub/Viet restaurant combo turned out a very decent bowl that would have been a definite three and a half had it not been for the fact it were so small.

Staff were very friendly and keen to talk about Vietnam and food.

Good for: Friendly staff.
Bad for: Small portions

Orient Gardens - Three and a half chilli rated

Three and a half chilli rated

279 Mare St, Hackney, London, E8 3QE.
http://www.london-eating.co.uk/7084.htm

We are always a bit worried about Hybrid Vietnamese/Chinese restaurants, but this place on Mare street was a good solid bowl, and a welcome relief after our trip to Cambridge the night before.

Good for: Basic, but solid performer.
Bad for: No herbs, beansprouts or chilli sauce. Slightly dodgy beef.

Thanh Binh - Two and a half chilli rated

Two and a half chilli rated

17 Magdalene Street, Cambridge, CB3 0AF

Our spur of the moment trip to Cambridge was rather disappointing. Firstly 'Saigon City Restaurant' doesn't serve Bun Bo Hue but they did offer to make it for us if we gave them enough notice. This is an offer we will have to take up in the future.

Thanh Binh had a noodle soup dish on the menu, but sadly it was tiny, massively over priced and was like someone had dumped sunday roast beef into a bowl of average stock and vermicelli noodles.

Thanh Binh does not cater for Vietnamese and sadly it seems like everything has been westernised and targeted at the top end of the Cambridge restaurant scene.

Good for: Sorry.....
Bad for: Tiny portion, expensive and not very good.

Umbraco Backup license clarification

Filed under: - by Darren Ferguson @ 11:22 AM

I get quite a few questions about Umbraco Backup licensing, so here is clarification about what each licensing model means.

Personal/Non-Profit: For any type of not for profit web site e.g. charities and blogs. The license is tied to a fully qualified domain name e.g. www.mysite.com.

Single Umbraco instance: For a single commercial site, tied to domain name in the same way as a non-profit license is.

Server license: Allows you to install Umbraco Backup within as many Umbraco instances as you like on a single physical web server. All domain names for these sites *must* resolve to the same IP address. If you have two web servers you need two licenses. Changing the server IP is fine, the license is based on a domain, as long as all domains resolve to the IP of the licensed domain then your license is valid.

I am always happy to discuss volume licensing discounts, just drop me a mail.

I don't have any policy on upgrading to future versions yet. If you are waiting for version 2.0, there is really no point as I am not sure if there will ever be a 2.0 at present.

Thanks, Darren.
