Turkish-Greek relationships

This week, the Greek Prime Minister has had an official visit to Turkey, which I think is a giant step in improving the relationships between the two neighbours. I blieve this was the fist in after 5 decades.

According to the reports, the Greek Prime Minister has travelled even though he is politically under pressure in Greece.

Of course this is not going to magically solve all the problems, Cyprus being the main one I expect as well as the Agean sea borders. However, let's hope that this is a start of a new era and the problems are resolved in the area.

I wholeheartedly support his courage.

Age progression

These are the results of 2 different age progression results from 2 different websites. First image (just below) is produced by age-me.com, and the second one is produced by a site at St Andrews University.

Although there are some noticeable issues with the age-me picture, I think it is more believable overall, especially the contours and wrinkles seem somewhat more believable.

Marius Pudzianowski

The Dominator has won the World's Strongest Man competition for the record-equaling fourth time.

The simply outclassed everyone, including 2006 champion, while winning the 2007 World's Strongest Man competition.

I bet he will be on the scene for many years and winning more competitions.

Blogger Templates

I have been putting off changing over to the new Blogger Templates. I was always scared of the amount of effort it would have taken to make the site look and feel the same as it did with the old template as I had made few customisations.

However, to my surprise, I tried it recently and I have found it to be very easy. All I had to do was to manually move over blogroll into the new template, which took e 5 minutes. Of course, I had to manually back up the old template first, just in case something went wrong. Blogger provides this options anyway but I didn't want to take any chances.

I now need to drill into the final HTML code to see how some of the code level customisation has been migrated.

Overall, I think it is a thumbs-up from me.

Happy new year everyone

I hope the new year brings peace, health and happiness to everyone.
