I watched Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted couple of weeks back at Liberty Cinema at Kollpity. Even-though the story was bit predictable and common it was still enjoyable. For me Madagascar was never about a story but if was about the animals and the monkeys and the penguins. This version on Madagascar incorporated more music, including the best version of “I like to Move it” yet. But the ...
Image from Wikipedia Around this time of last year, Sri Lanka did not have any 3D movie theater. If you wanted to have a 3D movie experience, only choice was to go for a movie while in another county. Finally with the end of 2011, MC Cineplex opened with one 3D theater. Now we are half way through 2012 and there are 4 theaters ...
Long Live Mother Nature! – A flag hanging on Bo tree at Kelaniya temple. When you visit a temple you can always see many flags hanging on the branches of Bo tree with text written on them to invoke blessings on various people for various reasons. It could be a simple wish to pass an exam, get well from a ...
Apparently some self-proclaimed Turkish Muslim hacker hacked my utterly insignificant blog. This blog gets about 30 visitors a day, on a really good day. And I don’t know what the point of hacking this one. Who ever got in, messed up the admin accounts of the blog and changed the home page saying that he/she is Muslim and from Turkey. But I really doubt that. ...
I recently started watching this TV show called True Blood. Which is mainly a story about vampire human interaction based on the set of novels “The Southern Vampire Mysteries” by Charlaine Harris. It’s sort of like Twilight for grown ups. It is much darker, and more sophisticated than Twilight and uses lot more violence, horror and sex. True Blood is definitely not for kids or sensitive people. ...
Some news travel very fast. And some don’t. Even when both news is about the same thing. Sometimes you see news in big bold letters on the front page of multiple news papers. And few days later there is a small piece of writing in an inner page stating that the original news was reported incorrectly, which you never notice. Sometimes blogspear also act in the ...
I recently visited Chaaya Tranz Hotel in Hikkaduwa on a company trip. Overall it was an excellent experience and a great place to relax. It is the former Coral Gardens Hotel which is renovated and re-branded as an excellent 4 star beach resort. As a result everything is new. It is located in Hikkaduwa off Galle Road. Therefore it is very easy place to ...
My wife and I took a road trip to Polonnaruwa on 12th and 13th of May. The day before the Shiva Devalaya was reportedly broken into. And it was some needed time out after a long time, even though it’s not the best time of the year to visit that part of the country due to high temperature. During our ...

Well, this happened exactly a year and a day ago. I was sleeping at home and it was just passed the mid night. Suddenly my phone started receiving short messages continuously. But I was too sleepy to go and check or to put it on silence mode. So I just kept trying to sleep until the morning. Around 5 AM I finally ...

This thing start circling inside my head every time I see those advertisements on TV which sells gym equipment. And the promise is that you can lose a huge belly in no time. You just have to spend less than ...
Until recently my wife was using a Nokia E75. Which is a fine phone when it comes to the specs and the looks but if you drop it, its going to be a few thousand rupees worth of repair. A small drop can break some part of the housing, screen, and ribbon cable. Just to give you the picture of ...
For those who use Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Google, SOPA/PIPA is not news any more. I am not going to describe those again as you can find all about its good, bad, and ugliness by just searching for those two horrible acronyms. Piracy is a problem for any industry I am not trying to defend it. But this is not how you fight ...
Well! Yesterday was my 2nd working day in Linkoping with two other guys. When you come from a place like SL, its bit tough to find your way around. All the names of places sounds same. All houses looks same. There are separate roads to drive, walk and ride. Everything is little too systematic (like buses always come on time) :). We decided to find our way ...

Everything Starts with Taking a Backup A move is as simple as a backup and restore. You back up your old host and restore ...
When it comes to buying services and complex products I always prefer buying from a local seller. This makes it easy to communicate and handle any matter that might come up when using the product or service that we buy. But in some cases the typical Sri Lankan customer relationship attitude make it a nightmare. This happened way too often with my hosting provider. To be specific ...
How to fix E61:00 on youtube Remember that old TV your parents used to have, which simply refuse to work until you give it few good bangs. Well I thought you don’t have to do that any more with new 21st century electronics. Well! I was wrong. My Cyber-shot started to give me this error called E61:00. Basically when you turn it ...
“Flickr Thumbnails Photostream” is one of the neatest plugins available to display a random set of photos from a Flickr stream on your WordPress sidebar. I tried out so many plugins before settling with this one for my blog. It builds a local cache of information about your Flickr stream in your website database. As [...]
