We had a short outage with one of our application hosting servers yesterday afternoon. For some inexplicable reason, the server restarted hasn't left any log messages to explain why. All of the sites hosted on that application server were unavailable for about 10 minutes, but came back with no further problems. We're keeping an eye on the situation to make sure it doesn't happen again!
In other news, we have partnered with another Edinburgh-based company, Xeriom Networks, to increase our hosting capacity. We are in the process of rearranging which clients are on which application servers in order to increase performance. In particular, the new server is hosted in the UK, so we'll be moving clients who have mostly UK-based users to there in order to reduce network latency.
And finally, we've set up a mailing list so that we can keep our customers abreast of Rubaidh's latest developments. You can join the list with the form below:

Our mail hosting company have had a slight DNS glitch, and unfortunately, our email has been unavailable for most of today. Some messages were even bounced, which isn't exactly ideal... It should be up and running again now, so if you sent us an email in the past 24 hours and you haven't heard back from us, please resend it! If you're curious as to what went wrong, see my own blog entry.

The next meeting of the Scottish Ruby Users Group is on Thursday 16th November at the Holyrood Tavern, 9a Holyrood Road, Edinburgh (Google map). Graeme will be there from around 19:00 onwards. I gather the Holyrood is doing food again... There's no particular schedule, just a few beers and a chat, though I do hear rumours that we'll have a number of Agile Scotland regulars joining us.

Skills Matter (the people who brought you RailsConf Europe 2006) are running a four day Ruby on Rails course here in Edinburgh on 24-27th October. The course was created by Chad Fowler for Rails 1.1 and first delivered by him in April of this year. I was on that course, and I can tell you it's absolutely fantastic.
So, why am I telling you about it? Well, I will be delivering the course. You'll get to spend four full days in my company, learning all about Ruby and Rails. You'll get to hear all of my funny stories (at least twice -- I don't have that many anecdotes!), see pictures of my cats and be cajoled into nipping out for a swift 'alf when we're done for the day.
For more details, an overview of what the course contains and to book, see: http://www.skillsmatter.com/ruby-on-rails-course.
Oh, and Edinburgh is a lovely city to visit too. Well served by air & train, very friendly and has lots to do. Why not come for the course and make a weekend of it, seeing the sites?
