Wind Power Generators near Paphos

It’s been a while since I did some trips around the island, but looks like I will start this habit of going around on weekends again.

To start with, I went to wind power generators near Paphos this Saturday. Photos are here. For those who don’t know how to get there – it is pretty easy. I was driving the old road to Paphos from Limassol and after I passed Aphrodite hills, there is a turn to the small village called Kouklia, few kilometers before Paphos. The road number is F612 (shown on the traffic sign as well as all the maps). As I was going this road, the power generator mills are seen all over and I just took the first convenient turn off the road to reach what I was looking for. Actually, those things are all over at that region, so it is not that hard to navigate to them. They are just awesome and huge.

Another thing I’ve noticed since the last time I’ve been there is a specific noise that comes from work of the mills. Last time I saw them, they were off and silent. This time it was even more impressive.

BTW, since Yana has a proper Olympus camera, the photos should be bit better, compared to the ones made by my mobile phone :) Though I am not a photographer or anything of that sort, the difference still should be seen.

jQuery datepicker, tabs, AJAX

The whole bloody day fighting with jQuery datepicker. Still no luck, so maybe you have something to tell. The setup is as follows:

– jQuery tabs with content being loaded via AJAX calls

– Inside tabs content there are forms with jQuery datepicker

The problem is that datepicker doesn’t work correctly. There are two possible results (except for those where everything is broken completely):

– Datepicker is displayed and popup is shown, but when selecting a date – it is not inserted in the input field (though it is send correctly when form is submitted)

– Datepicker is displayed and everything works (even when selecting a date it is correctly inserted into field), but after switching between tabs for 2-3 times, datepicker is disappearing from some fields and stays enabled on others.

I tried everything I could find. Working with jQuery live, jQuery livequery, setTimeouts (for proper delay on DOM updates). Tried accessing through classes and through IDs, tried generating random IDs just in case there is a collision or something else. Nothing works :(

Pissed off, experimenting further, but looks like I am running out of possibilities…

Snooker

It’s been ages since I last played snooker. For the past week I had my friends from Russia as guests here in Cyprus and we had couple of games during their stay. What should I say – I love the game and I want to play it more often. Unfortunately I don’t know many people who play snooker (most prefer american pool instead). If you are playing snooker and you are in Limassol – we can meet sometime in Century Billiard club for game :)
