The TIME Magazine says
       "Radio had its golden age in the 1930s. In the 1950s, it was television's turn. Historians may well date the golden age of the blog from 2004 when Merriam-Webster.com's most searched-for definition was blog. How long can it last? Who knows? Here's what we discovered about the new medium this year"

It seems not bad to be a bogger nowadays.

Yesterday's tsunami was one of the worst and the first in history which swept Sri Lankan shores killing thousands.

The destruction is staggering, unbelievable.

The worst part is we have never been prepared, never heard of this kind of disaster unless in movies. Lost so many lives in a sudden flush of water. We were a thousand miles away from tsunamis until now. You have absolutely no defense against huge raging sea wave at land, somthing that you have never heard of in your life, no sign, no alerm, no rain, no warning, nothing unusual, it's the same serene sea you sit beside and enjoy for hours. Suddenly tossing and crushing its raging waves in a Day After Tomorrow like blockbuster movie which came out of nowhere. People didn't realised they were hitting a wall of death.

So I leave this note in memory of all those lives we lost today. May you all attain 'Nirvana' and rest in peace.

Deceased, missing and survived list can be found here

The government has declared a state of emergency to aid the displaced and the dead but this is by no means a thing a country like Sri Lanka can cope with alone.

So please, you the international community do help us, send us whatever the aid you could grant to the Sri Lankan Government.

We are urgently in need of medicines, ready to eat food , sanitary items, body bags ect.

Tsunami: [Japanese] Tidal waves created after a sea quake

This is nice. Enjoy!

These is a long due necessity. It is a pleasure to see that the Sinhala Unicode has become a world standard and now there are emerging wave of Sinhala software we can easiliy use without hassle.

Earlier we have to install proprietary components, dongles and fonts if we wanted to make use of any of the few Sinhala software. There is even an Optical Character Recognition software for Sinhala though I can't remember the URL.

The latest things is Sinhala GNU/Linux 0.1 OS, a Linux Sinhala clone that can be downloaded at the given address. Though I am not much of a LINUX fan and ain't know nothing about this geek OS I am really impressed. These LKLUG guys have done a really good job turning Linux to run in our Sinhala language.

Here's a screenshot. If you like Linux go take the plunge and enjoy Windows free world.

I had been in love with and using my SJ33 as my primery writing pad ever since I brought it.

My experience with this nifty piece of electronic is more or less the same as this guy explains who has published a CLIE journal on his usage. He has even mentioned the incidend that I had dropped my CLIE on the ground at one time in his journal.

Sad SONY said Syonara to CLIE discontinuing their lineup lately.

Well, after a while there is a techno show in Colombo. At least I was expecting to get a chance to play with all new Treo 650 but unfortunately it wasn't there. 

So there were very few other items that took my interest like Toshiba e800 VGA Pocket PC. Too bad.
