We have only 10 more years left to clean up our garbage. According to the latest research if we won't stop the Carbon emission to the atmosphere now itself in 10 years time the world will be a whole different place. What you experienced is a result of our own action. Mother Earth had reached her "carrying capacity". She can't carry us and our garbage any longer. She's on to action and her reactions are far more dangerous than any atomic bomb man can ever make!! Climate is changing drastically. Usually this time of the year it snows in USA. Last Thanksgiving, USA had snow!! This year, it's still warm. No snow.. The high amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is heating up the Earth and we are being barbequeued alive!!! The winter seasons are getting warmer each year. The level of coldness is dropping.. <BR/> <BR/>The climate has changed a lot. We experienced a very hot season this year, sometimes we wished that there would be heavy rain. Finally we got rain, but followed with disaster. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand the ice caps in Arctic and Antarctic are melting increasing the sea water level. The melting ice cool down the warm current running under the ocean making all these seasonal changes. Since there are no more warm water current to bring in summer, there can be an Ice Age!!! yes Day after Tomorrow can actually be true soon!!<BR/>We now have to battle against the Earth not against each other!! Im happy at least few people like you are concerned about these things and writing blogs at least. If we all are doing the best we can in our own capacity, we still have hope!! Never give up my friend!!<BR/><BR/>Wathsalawathsalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1158985412159268002006-09-23T09:53:00.000+05:302006-09-23T09:53:00.000+05:30please contact me if you see this.<BR/>Anuradha 2253022 (Seeduwa JK Garment) (one of Friends at Aqucomp)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1152759613547468472006-07-13T08:30:00.000+05:302006-07-13T08:30:00.000+05:30Absolutely true...Indunilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08025447773493513810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1144317517018314432006-04-06T15:58:00.000+06:002006-04-06T15:58:00.000+06:00Heyy I neeed this 1 !!!! to keep as a Pet(Kitten)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1139202040361744832006-02-06T11:00:00.000+06:002006-02-06T11:00:00.000+06:00hai Chan, found ur blog from gsmarena web.

Chandana, what I wanted to point out was that education, apart from in a proffessional field is quite a measure of intellectual capacity rather than learning some theory. In A/L and O/L we try to asses a person's abolity to assimilate and apply knowledge. So a person less capable of dealing with knowledge is given a lower place in tradional education system. Such a person no matter what field [eg advertising] he chooses tends to cling to his lower intellectual capabilities which manifests as lack of crativity. This together with forced invasion of low Indian culture by Sirasa TV etc are the causes of the pathetic [many may not realise] state of our media + advertising industries.HitlerJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1112777045378847762005-04-06T14:44:00.000+06:002005-04-06T14:44:00.000+06:00Well, I rather leave a comment for someone who leaves a name behind;-) Anyway,<BR/><BR/>I guess you are referring only the TV/Radio ads. If you look at all the press and print media campaigns mostly they are creative. Even those you have to differentiate as plain announcements and promotional type ads. Still you can't blame on certain ads if you are not one of the target audiences either. The tone, the language, the theme will depend on whether the audience is a "gamarala", a BMW driven WTC Executive to you the Anonymous.<BR/><BR/>Since I've been in the trade for a while I know the main problem in advertising is TIME. Clients wants campaigns in The Eleventh Hour, or they want very creative campaigns changed upside down once finished. So most of the Creative Juce within anyone will not come out at that Very Needed Hour and the outcome is obviously a lousy one. That's only human I guess.<BR/><BR/>So somewhere along the line all the advertising firms try to maintain a balance between the time, the people, the quality and the delivery. This may not go hand in hand sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Though I am not in the advertising trade anymore I will tell you the Golden Rule of Creativity no man, no teacher, no heaven could bring creativity to someone, it has to come within and if the other factors fall in place he will produce a nice output for an occation and may be not for another. So if you are the boss who is running the ad firm are you gonna fire him and go in search of new creative talents? No dear, It will not happen in the real world.<BR/><BR/>And don't take it on school leavers, don't forget that we all have to start it from somewhere. Have you befallen from some .... what?Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987423721037603110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1112771256950215512005-04-06T13:07:00.000+06:002005-04-06T13:07:00.000+06:00All wonder why Sri Lankan media is full of distasteful and virtually purposeless advertiesments. I came up with a theory. It may be because in SL adveritsing and journalism are not fields where specially skilled people get into. Ok there may be a few but they also has come to that field 'cos they have tried there hand in several fields rather unsuccessfully. So ads and media are 2 field which all "muck" of school leavers go. The reason for poor quality and prosuctivity.

I saw your site and showed it to Mr K. he was very happy to see it and was v impressed with your achivements. We still do the old business with some changes [eg win3.?? and access 1 gone]. I am now working here for 5.5years.

Well, truly I am not much into Sinhala typing though.<br /><br />Anyway as far as I am aware there are no free plugins as yet. But to help you out, I can direct you to a commercial Sinhala Packages which are marketted by www.scienceland.lk and www.microimage.com websites.<br /><br />These works well in all the Windows applications. I have used Thibus even within my designer tools like Flash without any hassle. You can use the Wejesekara or the Phonetic keymapping to type.<br /><br />They come with aplenty of nice Sinhala Fonts Collection. Even I can send you coulple of nice sinhala fonts I use for my work. But you can't type certain chars without a Sinhala driver.<br /><br />You can email them and ask about their pricing for personal use.<br /><br />Hope this helps...Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987423721037603110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1103176899131858782004-12-16T12:01:00.000+06:002004-12-16T12:01:00.000+06:00Hi, nice blog. I've been trying to find a decent Sinhala program for a long time. Currently I'm using 'Singlish', a program that converts Sinhala phonetically written in English characters. But it uses its own font and I can't do any formatting. You got something that can fit nicely into Word (a plugin, perhaps)? Or at least something that can put out a RTF file? Or at least a unicode font with Sinhala in it?Kermithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18058771601195574195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976761.post-1094052309212572112004-09-01T21:25:00.000+06:002004-09-01T21:25:00.000+06:00as I am commenting on this post, props on your business. It's hard work turning a profit (or even not tanking too severely).<br /><br />I was looking at your site just as you commented on mine. I was mildly impressed by the blog, but then I went to www.dreamsmademe.com itself, which is spot-on design. People bitch about frames, but they are a guilty pleasure of mine. I love the graphics - the black and white vs. color landscape is very Wizard of Oz.<br /><br />I'm launching an IT Mag for Wijeya Newspapers (Sunday Times/Mirror) and I'd love to bounce some ideas of you.
