In times when there is no food at home or you are not in the mood to go anywhere, pizza delivery is the most common (and sometimes the only) option. There is another option for Limassolers, which existed for some time now, but only recenlty came to my attention. Waiters on Wheels.

These guys have made agreements with a number of restaurants and now provide you with a single menu that combines a huge number of choices. You can get anything from traditional Cyprus souvla through steaks to French and Russian food. Soft drinks, beer, and wine are in the menu too. They even offer items which are rearly to be found on delivery menus, such as sweets, cakes, potato chips and corn flakes.

Delivery is surprisingly fast and politely smiling. Waiters on Wheels delivery also to Limassol suburbs like Erimi and Pareklissia. Minimum order is 10 CYP which is more then reasonable. Stuff like corn flakes and potato chips can be delivered to you for 1.25 CYP or free if order some food too.

Add to finish this perfect picture with a nice touch – they have a website, which is actually practically useful and nicely looking. Their printed material is of equal quality. And that is something that you don’t see every day in this country.

P.S.: now did it look like an ad or what? :) Here is a disclaimer – I am not in any way affeliated with Waiters on Wheels. I haven’t been paid or in any other way benefitted from writing the above post. I am just a guy who likes good service, good food, and professional execution. :)

My desire for a GPS device is getting stronger by the day. Before I couldn’t find any good reason for my buying one. Now there are few and, honestly, who needs reason anymore? ;)

So, after browsing for a while here and there, my choice stopped on Garmin eTrex Vista. Garmin suggests the price of approximately $320 USD, but there are offers on the web that quote as low as $160 USD. I am considering $300 USD to be roughly the maximum I am prepared to spend on the device. Requirements are few and simple:

• it should be small enough (pocket size, belt clip, you get the idea)
• it should allow for additional maps, waymarks, and other information to be loaded (Cyprus data included in the package is considered an advantage)
• it should be possible to save few routes (at least 5-10) with few waymarks (at least 5-10)
• good reception from within a car as well as outside with the clear sky and without any trees around (this should be easy)
• rechargeable battery pack and power adapter for the car are considered an advantage

Basically, Garmin eTrex Vista suits my needs pretty well. I am not sure though if there is any other device similar in functionality, but somehow better. I will search more of course.

With this super trinket you will never lose keys from your apartment again. But even if you will lose them, it will be extremely easy for the person who finds them to return them back to you.

Fields to fill in are: your name, full address, phone number, and the hours during which you are at home.

Today was a slow day and I haven’t watched anything or did anything worse mentioning. There were no breaking news. There was no browsing. All of these was leading me to leave a blank day in my blog, which I, of course, couldn’t do.

For this reason, I will combine few blog related things in the post. First of all, there is yet another blog related article on Slashdot. Apparently, there was some halfway smart symposium on online journalism and blogs were an important part of that event.

Secondly, I was reviewing all the nice things I am now able to do with Nucleus CMS and that I am a happy guy for the last two month, but there is still a whole bunch of things I haven’t tried. So, this is a good change to test the poll functionality.

!++0|1|On a slow day it is better to…|blog crap|shut up|whatever++!

By the way, don’t get too optimistic about this poll. If everyone will vote ‘shut up’ I will still blog on slow days. :)

Now I am looking at all of the above and getting proud and surprised on how I goo I can generate content. There must be a job somewhere that requires one to do just that. :)
