Well, it’s been a glorious week for the Cairo Development Team. We updated our website with new gradients, a few developmental images, and a slew of miscellaneous tweaks. It’s amazing how many small changes we’ve made to the site since the new redesign opened a few weeks back. Consider them small reminders of our dedication to this project.

In other news, we have been making progress, slowly but surely, with the coding of the shell. Consider us like an M&M’s factory. You never actually see the manufacturing process of those little chocolate treats, but you know it’s always going on. Same goes for Cairo.

Additionally, we now have a new donations page. Feel free to give us any spare change you might have laying around and don’t forget to cash in those savings bonds that have been sitting in your drawer for years! Joking aside, we are accepting donations in any amount. Remember no gift is too small. One month it might help us pay the web host and another it might help us with some R&D. We have tried to place the donation links in places that will get noticed but aren’t in your face. We understand that you all come here to support us and that is thanks enough, but should you decide you want to generously donate some of your hard earned money, we would be much obliged.

That is all for now. I hope you enjoyed this update. From now on I’m going to end each update with an interesting factoid so even if the post isn’t one of your favorites, you can at least say you learned something.

Factoid: The average number of people that are airborne over the US in any given hour is 61,000.

EDIT: We have now had over 10,000 unique visitors to the site, comprising an average of 10,000 visits per month. Thanks for the support everyone!
