Accommodation at Trincomalee / Nilaveli

2011-07-18T21:58:00.003+05:30

I was at Trincomalee last long weekend with my family members. Before that I done some R & D on places to stay at Trinco and here are the places I found with contact details and prices for some cases.

Welcombe Hotel - 026-2222373
FB - 11000
HB - 9200

Lotus Park Hotel - 026-2225327/8

I stayed at Sea View Hotel in Nilaveli. Small place in front of the Nilaveli main beach. Bit expensive when compare with the facilities, but very good place to see the sun raise.

Normally rooms at Nilaveli are expensive than in Trincomalee. Its due to name and also as they close to the sea. You can get good A/C room for 2500 from Trico as I heard.

Sunset at Hikkaduwa

2010-12-31T12:43:00.003+05:30

The most beautiful scene you can see at western beaches of Sri Lanka is the Sun set. With the colors of the heaven its unforgettable scenery to all of us.

This is at Hikkaduwa beach, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Sri Lanka, infront of the Amaya Reef hotel.

Morning at Pasikuda

2010-12-29T15:21:00.002+05:30

Morning, originally uploaded by vidulahasaranga.

One of the best scenes you can see at Pasikuda in the early morning is returning fishermen after their night work. With the colorful background of raising sun, this become a scene from heaven.

Pasikuda is one of the best beaches Sri Lanka have in eastern coast. One of the places you have to visit at Sri Lanka if you are a sea lover. In this calm beach you can stay whole day with blessing sun shine and low sea waves.

You can refer my older blog post about Pasikuda from here.

Bubbles

Bubbles, originally uploaded by vidulahasaranga.

We always love to play with bubbles when we were small.

This picture was taken at Pasikuda, Sri Lanka while I am travelling in a motor boat. Motor of the boat produce huge force to pull the water backward and it make lot of water bubbles to remind me my child age. Not easy to capture this image as the boat is travelling very fast and shacking with the sea tides.

Dawning at Pasikuda

2010-12-11T12:49:00.003+05:30

Morning reflection, originally uploaded by vidulahasaranga.

Pasikuda is developing now after the 30 years of war. It is one of the best beaches you can find in eastern coast of Sri Lanka. It is a place you can see the dawning of the Sun in very beautiful manner. This photo was taken few months back when I was at Pasikuda with few of my office mates. This is really beautiful scene and we were blessed to be there at early morning.

If you can leave Colombo at around 10 pm you can be at Pasikuda at early morning to see this beautiful scene. Else you have to stay one of few guest houses at Pasikuda.

Flying without wings

Flying without wings, originally uploaded by vidulahasaranga.

My friend Jason trying to show his swimming skills while we were at Pasikuda. Just captured the shot using the burst mode of my camera, but this is the only shot that have the evidence of flying.

Pasikuda is one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka. Hard to see any wave and you can travel very long distance in to the sea without the fear of deepness.

There are few places that give accommodation to you. The closest cities are Baticaloe and Polonnaruwa.

Some Effective Management Magic Tips

2010-10-14T12:29:00.003+05:30

This is something I have taken from the monthly magazine of Leo Club of Colombo Circle. Thought its good to share with all of you. Hope this will give you a good smile with all the busy working schedules.

============================================

Some Effective Management Magic Tips

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00pm and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it's really a "rush job", run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. I like being a psychic.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond working to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

How to find a file in Linux operation system

2010-05-07T16:31:00.004+05:30

One of the main problems that new Linux users have is to search for a perticular file or files. You can use find command for this in many ways.

Lets say you want to search for the file patch_24.sql in root directory.

find / -name patch_24.sql

If you want to search it from your current directory.

find ./ -name patch_24.sql

Lets say you want all the files start with patch.

find ./ -name patch*

If you need a search that do not consider the case sensitivity.

find ./ -iname patch*

Lets look in to some advance searches also.

If you want to look about files that bigger than 10000k

find ./ -size +10000

If the file size less than 500k

find ./ -size -500

So I guess you can have a good search now. Please refer man pages for more details.

Ambewela, Sri Lanka - Have you visited ever???

2010-04-20T20:38:00.002+05:30

I got a chance to visit Ambewela, Sri Lanka recently. It is a small tow in up country near Nuwara Eliya (Little England). Its very popular for beautiful sceneries and dairy farms in there including only milk factory in the country. I got chance to get some beautiful pictures also and I have share some of them here.

There are two main farms in Ambewela. One is Ambewela farm and other one is New Zealand Farm. Only the New Zealand farm is open for public to go and see what happening inside.

To visit Ambewela there are two main roads and few sub roads. The most beautiful road is the one go from Nuwara Eliya through Pattipola. You have to travel from Nuwara Eliya in the Nanuoya road and take a left turn before Nanuoya to the Pattipola Road. This road goes through the beautiful Ambewela farm and also some of the jungles. To take the other road you have to go on the Passara road from Nwara Eliya and take a right turn at a small village. But both roads are connecting near the Ambewela railway station.

To go to the Hortan Plains you have to cross the railway crossing at that place and go directly. To go to the New Zealand farm there is a cross road to left hand side after cross the railway line.

So try to go and visit........

The Deer Park

2010-04-05T21:28:00.002+05:30

I got the chance to visit a beautiful hotel last week. As I share some photos and details of the Kandalama hotel earlier I would like to share this hotel too with you. So its The Deer Park at Giritale this time.

The Deer Park located at Giritale in Dambulla Polonnaruwa road after passing Habarana and Minneriya. You have to take a turn at Giritale junction and go through the Giritale Dam to the hotel.

Deer Park is not a normal hotel. It consist of small luxury rooms or kabanas. Every kabana have 2 - 4 rooms. Some are two story, some are single. Most of them have open bathrooms.

What I like most is the beautiful scenery of Giritale Reservoir when you come out of your room. There are lots of birds and monkeys too.

Ponds are full of flowers while monkeys jumping from tree to tree. They seems very friendly and photogenic.

This is the main entrance.

Lobby

Dining Hall

Beauty of surrounding

How to call the police.... Nice story to share.....

2010-02-18T22:50:00.002+05:30

This is a nice story I came across recently and thought better to share with all of you.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.

George Phillips , an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"
He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.

Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.."

George said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again..

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed.. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now." and he hung up.

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George , "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

Brunei Visit

2010-02-18T22:34:00.003+05:30

Have you ever been to Brunei? Have you ever heard about Brunei? Do you know where it is?

Brunei is a small country that hang near to Malaysia in South East Asia. Currently its a Muslim country. But long ago it was a Buddhist one as same as Malaysia. Size of Brunei is around 1/4 of Sri Lanka. But the population is very less. The majority is Malay while rest is Chinese, Indians and few of Sri Lankans too.

Bandar Seri Bagawan is the capital of Brunei. Its governed by a Sultan. Main language is Malay. But English also have its share. Currency is Brunei Dollar. But you can use Singapore Dollar as well for any transaction.

I hope to share more and more about Brunei in the future. Please put a comment if something wrong in my post.

Blood Clots/Stroke

2010-02-11T13:08:00.002+05:30

This is a mail send to me by my friend related to the identification of Blood Clots/Stroke. I thought it is good to share with all of you although the correctness of the contents are not 100% sure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....S. T. R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics. She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital -
(at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke....totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

2009-12-23T12:24:00.002+05:30

This is something good for all of us......

Why me?

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:
"The world over -
50 million children start playing tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to semi final,
2 to the finals...
When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing,
But only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

Identifying the Real Enemy

Modern Version of woodcutter (the axe story)

2009-10-01T17:06:00.002+05:30

I thought this is good thing to share with you all......

Modern Version of woodcutter (the axe story)

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs
on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He
used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in
the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the
woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River Goddess.

The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of
rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the
river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box
and asked, "Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of
computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his.
Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.
The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all
three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her,
"Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before
bringing up my own ?"

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid
donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the
Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!". So saying, she disappeared with
the Pentium!!

Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it's better keep
your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth
and remove all doubt . . .

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

2009-08-18T15:23:00.005+05:30

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

This is a nice film I have seen recently. Normally English films don't try to make USA down, but this does that.

This describes how best friends (originally from India and Korea but live in US) get in to trouble and named as 2 terrorists by US officers. Then it shows how the Guantanamo Bay prison and how they escape from that place. Fianally they came to know that President Bush also aware of the things happening on Guantanamo Bay.

This is a Comady, but some bad wordings and nude sceens are there. So be cairfull. :)

I came to know today that there is a previous film too named Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and hope to see that soon. ALso they are planning to release the 3rd movie this year.

Internet Movie DB Details are as follows...

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

A Woman's Poem ...........

2009-08-11T10:19:00.002+05:30

This is a nice one I found one of the chain mails I received.

A Woman's Poem ...........

He didn't like the curry
And he didn't like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard...
Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't prepare the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Isn't there anything I could do
To match his mothers shoe

Then I smiled as I saw light
One thing I could definitely do
I turned around and slapped him tight...
Like his mother used to do!!!!!

17 Rules Between Men and Women

2009-04-21T15:20:00.001+05:30

This is a nice article I came across recently sent by my friend by email. I think its good to share with all of you because it has some thing meaningful or may be valid for all.

17 Rules Between Men and Women

1. The Female always makes THE RULES.

2. THE RULES are subject to change without notice.

3. No Male can possibly know all THE RULES.

4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some or all of THE RULES.

5. The Female is never wrong.

6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong.

7. If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.

8. The Female can change her mind at any given time.

9. The Male must never change his mind without the express, written consent of The Female.

10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.

11. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset.

12. The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset.

13. The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times.

14. At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said.

15. If the Male doesn't abide by THE RULES, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks ackbone, and is a wimp.

16. Any attempt to document THE RULES could result in bodily harm.

17. If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule #5

Father

2009-01-27T16:16:00.000+05:30

I have changed the way I react to my parents.... HAVE U ??? If not read the following, and think !!!!

Value of parents...

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window. The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3^rd time, What is this?"

At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow". A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"

This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?" A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page.

When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".
While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So..
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.

They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today". Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave.

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

2008-12-09T13:19:00.002+05:30

Nice email that I came across......

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel . The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

To All Beautiful couples out there...... nice story . . .

2008-12-05T11:58:00.002+05:30

This is a nice article I got as an email. I thought its better to share it with you all.....

Monica married Nick this day . At the end of the wedding party, Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook with Rs. 1000 deposit amount.

Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook . Keep it as a record of your marriage life . When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in . Write down what it's about next to the line . The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in . I've done the first one for you today . Do the others with Nick . When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had . '

Monica shared this with Nick when getting home . They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made . This was what they did after certain time:

* 7 Feb: Rs . 100, first birthday celebration for Nick after marriage
* 1 Mar: Rs . 300, salary raise for Monica
* 20 Mar: Rs . 200, vacation trip to Bali
* 15 Apr: Rs . 2000, Monica got pregnant
* 1 Jun: Rs . 1000, Nick got promoted
* . . . . . and so on . . .

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things . They didn't talk much . They regretted that they had married
the nastiest people in the world . . . . no more love . . . Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Monica talked to her Mother: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore .
We agree to divorce . I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!"

Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal . Just do whatever you want if
you really can't stand it . But before that, do one thing first . Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out
all money and spend it first . You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage . '

Monica thought it was true . So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account . While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record . She looked, and looked, and looked . Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind . Her eyes were then filled with tears . She left and went home .

When she was home, she handed the passbook to Nick, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce .

The next day, Nick gave the passbook back to Monica . She found a new deposit of Rs . 5000 . And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years . How much happiness you've brought me . '

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe . Do you
know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask . I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life .

"When you fall in any way, don't see the place where you fell instead see the place from where you slipped . Life is about correcting mistakes . "

End of Windows 3.x

2008-11-05T11:45:00.002+05:30

Can you remember Windows 3.0??? One of the first UI based OS we have used. I can still remember the first day I hahve used windows 3.1 in a home of my friend. The first graphical experience, by typing an DOS command and start GUI with few tools and use the PaintBrush to draw an image. Sill remember the first drawing I had using Windows 3.0.

But this article is not about how I used Windows 3.x to draw an image. Its about the end of Windows 3.x by Microsoft by stopping the issue of licence for it. Windows 3.x started in May 1990 and from 1st of November 2008 Microsoft has stop the issuing of licence for it.

Good bye Windows 3.x. Truely its an end of an era.

2008-10-17T17:36:00.001+05:30

This is a nice story I came across through an email. So just thought its nice to share with you too.....

Read this:
It is a 99.95% challenge that u will have a wrong answer to the question
asked in the passage.

Once there was loving couple traveling in a bus in a mountainous area. They
decided to get down at some place. After the couple got down at some place
the bus moved on. As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the
mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on board was killed. The
couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus" Why do u think
they said that?

....------------------- Answer !!!! -------------------

If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down, the
resulting time delay could have been avoided and the rock would have fallen
after the bus had passed ..!!! Think positive in life always and look for
opportunities when u can help Others......
Many times in life, the opposite of Success is not Failure, its
Quitting.

Winners never quit, quitters never Win....

Adding new user for mysql server

2008-09-26T10:14:00.003+05:30

Always after I configured a mysql server in a machine (I have to do it once a month mostly as people always ask me to do so in their machines... ) I have to search the web (specially mysql website) and see how to add the new user including password for that syste.

So I thought its better to put it in my blog so I just want to search in my blog only rather than going through the mysql website.

After creating the mysql database you have to create the root password for the system. For that run the following commands from the mysql folder (You need to start the mysql server before issuing those):
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h password 'new password'

Then login to mysql (mysql -u root -p ) and issue following commands to create new users.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT RELOAD,PROCESS ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost';
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'dummy'@'localhost';

Hope this information is useful to all of you...

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?

Unique wedding cakes

2008-07-30T09:32:00.003+05:30

When surfing on the web I came accross few wedding photos publish by different people that seems to be unique. I just thought to share it with the people that visit my blog regulary.

But in Sri Lanka I havent seen such kind of cakes. Hope our wedding planner will think in different way and adopt some new cake designs for future couples. :D

I have seen these photos in more than one place in internet. This is one of them.

Few snapshots from American History...

2008-07-25T09:02:00.002+05:30

June 30, 1922. Washington policeman Bill Norton measuring the distance between knee and suit at the Tidal Basin bathing beach after Col. Sherrell, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, issued an order that suits not be over six inches above the knee." National Photo Co.

1930. Policeman warning few youngsters who were bathing naked at river.

Sinhala Firefox 3 and the true story behind it

2008-07-18T16:32:00.002+05:30

From news papers and television articles general public of Sri Lanka learn that the release of Firefox 3 in sinhala language is complete project of ICTA and University of Moratuwa. But most of them are not aware that it is a success story of many more individuals that contribute to the project with most of the effect of Danishka.

So here I posting few log entries with the people really worked for this and the way they have contributed.

Knowing that the Calendar object is today or not, in java

2008-07-16T13:51:00.002+05:30

public static boolean isSameDate(Calendar date) {
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
return date.get(Calendar.YEAR) == now.get(Calendar.YEAR)
&& date.get(Calendar.MONTH) == now.get(Calendar.MONTH)
&& date.get(Calendar.DATE) == now.get(Calendar.DATE);
}

HR means HIGH RISK

2008-07-01T12:19:00.002+05:30

After 2 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increase no commendation and that the Company is not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR Manager his observation. The boss looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down saying;

My friend, you have not worked here for even one day.

The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.

Manager:- How many days are there in a year?

Man:- 365 days and some times 366

Manager:- how many hours make up a day?

Man:- 24 hours

Manager:- How long do you work in a day?

Man:- 8am to 4pm. i.e. 8 hours a day.

Manager:- So, what fraction of the day do you work in hours?

Man:- (He did some arithmetic and said 8/24 hours i.e . 1/3(one third)

Manager:- That is nice of you! What is one-third of 366 days?

Man:- 122 (1/3x366 = 122 in days)

Manager:- Do you come to work on weekends?

Man:- No sir

Manager:- How many days are there in a year that are weekends?

Man:- 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days

Manager:- Thanks for that. If you remove 104 days from 122 days, how many days do you now have?

Man:- 18 days.

Manager:- OK! I do give you 2 weeks sick leave every year. Now remove that14 days from the 18 days left. How many days do you have remaining?

Man:- 4 days

Manager:- Do you work on New Year day?

Man:- No sir!

Manager:- Do you come to work on workers day?

Man:- No sir!

Manager:- So how many days are left?

Man:- 2 days sir!

Manager:- Do you come to work on the (National holiday )?

Man:- No sir!

Manager:- So how many days are left?

Man:- 1 day sir!

Manager:- Do you work on Christmas day?

Man:- No sir!

Manager:- So how many days are left?

Man:- None sir!

Manager:- So, what are you claiming?

Man:- I have understood, Sir. I did not realize

that I was stealing Company money all these days.
