The observant amongst you may have noticed we had a couple of hours of unexpected down-time last night. Oops. What was supposed to be a routine software upgrade on our server turned out to be a bit more involved than predicted. As a result, we were off-line for a chunk of the evening.

But we’re back, and running faster and more reliably than ever! Thanks have to go to our friends at our great Edinburgh-based web hosting provider, Xeriom Networks who were ready as always to step in and save the day if we made a real mess of the server!

The geeks among you might be interested to know that EdinburghMenus.com is now running on the latest version of PHP 5 (5.2.4) and MySQL (5.0.44). How exciting. As well as making the site a bit snappier generally, this software upgrade will make it easier for us to incorporate some new features like OpenID logins and Facebook integration.
