I bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 couple of days ago. Plan was to replace the need for a phone, tablet / kindle and a personal laptop with a single device. Because I am not a big fan of taking care of too many gadgets. This would also greatly simplify my digital existence. After playing with the new phablet ...
I came across this post on readme.lk recently. It’s about upcoming policy on import of used computer systems to cut e-waste. Which is good. Because we do very little recycling. And e-waste consist of mostly non recyclable material with many toxic chemicals. However what I do not agree is the statement which claims Sri Lanka no longer need 15000 LKR ...
Yes! parking cost is high in Colombo. Specially if you don’t want to park your vehicle under boiling hot sun and leave one of your biggest assets at the mercy of robbers. It’s high not because some people trying to rip off vehicle owners, but because the gap between supply and demand has driven up prices. Sunday Observer recently ran ...
If you have read my last few posts you should have seen this coming. However this is a big if. We are not sure if we will be able to do this until the last moment. In a wedding online broadcasting has lower than the lowest priority. Lot of thing has to come to place. We are planning to do this using a ...
These days there is a bit of a hype about hybrid cars, mainly fueled by slashed tax. Of course they come with an interesting promise. But can we really utilize its full capacity? Main benefits of hybrids are ability to run more on less fuel, or reduced cost per km and reduced carbon footprint. This is achieved in two ways. By having an alternative energy source ...
Indexers is a neat little feature that is available for objects in C#. But it would have been even neater same support was there for properties as well. But all is not lost because if you spend little time getting your hands dirty you can actually implement indexed properties. All you got to do is to have your property read ...
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 ...
Got this link for Cricket World Cup 2011 live stream from a facebook friend. Its on espnstar website. It is relatively ad free.

If you have subscribed for Ada-Derana news updates, you must have received a message saying “Banners, parsals, musical instruments, glass bottles, crackers, laser lights, sharp instruments are not allowed in World Cup venues in SL”.

In case you haven’t noticed this site was off the web for about a week from 21st January 2011. When I first noticed that it’s not there, I didn’t bother much as it could be a very short outage that happen once in a while with my hosting provider.

First of all let me give a big thank to 46 unique viewers for watching the crappy online broadcast of our wedding. That was in fact a several times larger audience than we expected
I don’t have a serious phobia or anything. I have gone through lot of cosmetic/corrective dental work including few extractions during my teen years as my teeth were a mess. But I avoid dentists as much as I can. I just don’t like to go there. I used to bring up all the sorts of excuses to skip mandatory dental visits during school days. Even ...

Some attacks focus on infrastructure such as network and servers, and some focus on the web application itself. When it comes to attacks on infrastructure it’s service providers job to keep the attackers at ...
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. ...

Three-wheelers or Tuk tuks are quite useful when you are out shopping. Specially these days, because the car parks at most of the shops are guaranteed to be full during rush hour due to x’mas shopping. Therefore it’s a natural choice to ditch the car at a larger car park and then take a three-wheeler to shops and when hopping between shops. When my wife and ...
