Cyprus

The wife will probably be going back to Hilton Head at least once more this year to visit her friend that lives there and we will most likely be visiting her when we go to Parris Island in September as well. At some point later this year, as soon as she sells her business as a matter of fact, she and her children will be moving to Cyprus. The only thing I know about Cyprus is that my brother flew through there on his way back from living in Israel back in the late eighties/early nineties, so I decided to look it up as I am sure to be hearing about it from the wife sooner or later.

According to wiki, Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean particularly among Europeans. It was a colony of Britain until 1960 and formed it’s own Commonwealth republic in 1961. The Republic of Cyprus has also been a member of the EU since 2004.

Judging from the picture above and the other ones that I have seen Cyprus is an extremely beautiful country and I wouldn’t mind visiting at some point. DialAFlight has cheap flights all over the world and right now I can get a flight to Cyprus from Heathrow Airport for around $900. Not too shabby, although I could probably fly into a different EU airport and get an even cheaper flight from them.

Use Less Power With Google Shadow

I may have posted about this once or twice before but I just came across it again and thought it was a pretty cool idea. Did you know that White and bright colors such as what I have at TheAppDotNet use up to 20% more power to display than dark colored sites such as Shadowscope? Googleshadow is the dark colored web search engine. Unfortunately it appears to be having problems right now as I just did a search and got an error, but I may just have to change the background colors on my sites that aren’t already dark.
