If you are one of the handful of privileged long terms readers on my blog, you would remember my post about Carmen Sandiego. Well, there is good news for fans of the game. There’s a new version of this classic game on Facebook. The adaptation to FB is quite commendable. Check it out and don’t forget to let me know what you thought of it.

A lot happened recently in the social networking arena. Google plus arrived. After the epic failures of Buzz and Wave, the search giant has come up with something that may actually rival fb. Do you remember something called MySpace? Well, it was sold at a loss of over $500 million. Interesting to note that MySpace at its peak was worth ...

Last Saturday evening, the more enthusiastic Trinitians in Perth gathered to watch the second leg of the Bradby on big screen. Having done the same for the first leg a couple of weeks ago and having witnessed a poor show by the boys in the red, yellow and blue jerseys, the mood was somber at best. Trinity lost the first ...

From time to time I receive E-mails which are pretty much about tell us how simple and good things were back in the day how complicated things are today. Here is an extract of such an email: As children, we rode in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Even though all the shops closed at 8.00pm and most ...

I was plesently surprised this week. The reason for this surprise relates to my YouTube account. Yes, I have a YouTube account which contains a great number of videos. A great number that totals upto three that is. These videos have been up there for a while and have not garnered much attention. Then suddenly this week I got some ...

It’s been pretty quiet on the rugby scene since the mighty blackness took their rightful place. But that is about to change ‘cos the six nations is around the corner and I for one m very excited. I’ve never paid close attention to the six nations and have been content with watching the tri nations until now. But while watching ...

There is a huge uproar in the land of the lions about the Advanced Level results being completely unreliable. So, I thought I’d add my 2 cents on the subject. Disclaimer: I did study math at uni, but I’ve forgotten all most of it and I took only one stat class. So, I will keep it simple – that is ...

I am. Are you? I’ve finally watched Thor and Cap’n America: The First Avenger thereby completing the five lead up movies to The Avengers movie which will come out next year. If you weren’t living under a rock for the last few years, you would know that other three movies involved are The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man I & ...

My good friend Sayy and few others are working on a new initiative. This is something very interesting and has a lot of potential, so I thought I’d spread the word. Have a looksie when you get a chance. http://sayys365.blogspot.com/p/yarl-it-hub.html

I know it’s been a long while since I’ve written anything. I’ve been really really busy with work and some other personal stuff. I have an announcement: my blog is moving!! I’ve had my own domain, www.neelaka.info, for a while now. I bought a hosting plan with the hope that I would get some web design jobs though which I could possibly ...

Yesterday was a happy day. A very happy day. One of my best friends, Kemanthi, renounced all worldly things and took a huge step in becoming a Buddhist bhikshuni. As part of the renunciation, she gave up her lay name and going forth will be known as Karunika. A name befitting her in any day. It was a really a ...

I know it has been a lot of Rugby related posts from me recently, but here is one more. So, my predictions here and here were a bit off and of course there’s still the matter of the winner to be decided this weekend. So far, I got the Australia v Ireland match and Wales v Ireland match results wrong. ...

So my picks for the RWC2011 quarter finalists was right on the money. The only hiccup was that the trusty Wallabies lost to the Irish. So my previous predictions for the knockout stage of the tourney are all messed up. I’m trying to save face and come up with some new winners. I’m gonna go for Ireland and France for ...

I won’t say much about this as there are millions billions of posts out there already about Steve Jobs passing away. I will just share this video with you. If you haven’t seen this, do take the time out to watch it. He was one of the greatest inventors of our age and his legacy will be immortal.

I’m  suffering from withdrawal right now. Facebook withdrawal that is. Yes! I quit Facebook. Hopefully for good. I have been considering it for quite a while now. Why? Well, it’s a combination of many factors. The constant and unwanted changes to the layout, the ever changing security policies, the repetitive copy paste status updates, everything Sayy talks about here, most ...

I got a smart phone. This is not a strange thing for someone to do in this day and age. But it is a bit strange for me. When it comes to mobile phones, it’s fair to say that I haven’t kept abreast of the times. Well, to  say that I am an uber noob would be more fitting. Looking ...
