“See all the places you want to see! travel before you get married” I naively told myself many many years ago. Well that ship sailed sometime back.  I’ve traveled as a kid/adolescent, extensively thanks to my dad’s job that took us all over the globe. I even managed to do a solo ‘just out of […]

Hey “BD beauties”!How are you all doing? I feel like it’s been a while since I have sat down and typed a good old long post but I have couple of product reviews coming up soon but this is going to e a haul post! I had made small orders online recently so got them all finally into a collective ...

Never thought about writing something like this till recent. In fact, never thought about coming out about this openly. But having recently met a few people who haven’t yet had the epiphany, that realisation that time won’t fix a broken mind, at least not until it’s broken all else around; I’m compelled to put pen to paper, or rather, fingers ...

As posson poya is about to dawn in a few days time, I felt that posting an article about an ancient Buddhist site which I recently visited would be appropriate. It was a day outing and was organized by the Abimansala –Anuradhapura with the aim of changing the monotonous of totally dependent war heroes. The day outing was planned to ...

You aren't your own creation. You never were and will never be your own being. Aren't even what you think you are. You are a collage of memories and experiences. Nothing but a shattered glass put back together. Built with fragments left behind by those who walked in and left before you could come to senses. Nothing about you is ...

It’s one of those days that work gets in the way and emotions have got side-tracked. Aiden tries to be understanding, but more like be supportive to the limit he wants to lock himself in the room and then keep working on his thesis (a way of showing understanding but slightly overwhelming at times.) I try to be close to ...

Rem Koolhaas is an architect and a writer whose style of lustrous, he was fascinated not only the architecture he himself acquaint as a philosopher. His contribution to mankind as an architect is not substantial, but his philosophy of architecture is much more interesting than ugly design principals derived by the great Le-Corbusier. Perhaps his vision and mission was not ...

Drip. Drip. Drip. What in gods name is dripping from the ceiling?? Malli slowly reaches up- CRASH! BANG! DONG-PATAS-DONG! Shit and piss from our upstairs neighbours trickles into our bathroom. I look at Malli spraying industrial-strength disinfectant and all i can see is the drip drip of my hard earned salary; down the shit pipes. […]

The following code will generate a primary key using the current time stamp, a character (I have used the character 'T' in this example) and a random number. I have used this to generate primary keys for database records. #include - (NSString *) getPrimaryKey{ NSDate *curDate = [[NSDate alloc]init]; NSTimeInterval inter = [curDate timeIntervalSince1970]; //return as double [curDate release]; NSString ...

History in Linux terminal is very usefull if you get used to it. If you have to ssh long hostname, or long file paths you don't need to type them again and again. You can just grep your history and rip what you want like this. Lets say I want my ssh commands I want to get. history | ...

I peel off this skin. Puke away the bile. A sweat of memories drips down my face. Drops that linger on my eyelashes. But not for long. Pieces of my life, fragments of a broken life wash down the drain. That’s enough. The time has come. Step forward. New life.Wholeness. Rebirth. I Rise. Filed under: […]

Recently I saw some videos spreading on Facebook. 'Spreading', in the sense that people watch and share. What so special with these videos was, their thumbnails had that "Youtube feel", but seemed bit different. Also, most of these had eye-catching titles (in Sinhala), and eye-catching thumbnails (For example, a girl changing her dress... ;-) ). I actually clicked on one ...

I cannot guarantee that this will work for all versions and all the time, But it does work for me. I successfully installed Visual Studio 2012 premium But when I installed MS SQL 2008, the setup was showing an error code 0x84B10001…  And when I traced the error it was .NET framework 3.5 Sp1 problem.

I’m a quiet follower of Richard Dawkin’s Facebook Page, and I really appreciate his critical approach towards the religions. But I rather see a exhibition of childish reactions in them. I have admired Mehdi Hasan’s strong views in presence of an world-renowned atheist at Aljazeera’s Dialogue organized at oxford union. His views are baseless in terms of […]
