I spent most of Saturday afternoon in St John Restaurant in Spitalfields. I'm never able to resist taking photos, so here they are!


foie gras and duck liver toast


butternut squash, butter beans and goat curd


clementine jelly with jersey cream and vanilla/poppyseed biscuit thingy


lemon curd meringue

I also spied them preparing one of their infamous whole roast suckling pigs

This was the frankly pathetic excuse for a media centre at some friends' house

Some gaffa tape, an awful picture frame and some insides of loo rolls later...

So we've set up an IP address for each domain on our server. What happens when our client supplies us with a giant list of 30 domains that may point to this IP and may or may not change/be wrong etc? Urgh. I wanted the other domains to redirect to the primary domain so there's not duplicate content across 30 sites. 192.168.1.1 is the local IP and 100.100.100.100 is the IP for the outside world.
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
  ServerName www.example.com
  ServerAlias *
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^100\.100\.100\.100$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com$1 [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>
This will redirect any requests to the IP that are not via "www.example.com" or "100.100.100.100" with a 301 to "example.com"
