Aaargh! Some people just aren’t ready for technology. They wanna have digital cameras because they’re cool and modern and funky and all that, but they don’t know the first thing about managing a photo collection on their computer. That would be fine if they’re just taking their computer down to the shop and getting prints, [...]
I upgraded to Firefox 2 ages ago, and I’ve been meaning to write this post for months now. Finally got round to doing it. (If you haven’t converted to Firefox as yet, see why you should here.)
My first three tweaks are config changes to Firefox 2 that are personal preferences. So you may not like [...]
I have to admit that I was a bit of a Trekkie when I was back in the UK. By that I mean I watched the shows religiously – I never dressed up like Mr Spock and went to conventions or anything.
As a sci-fi fan, I loved the world of Star Trek. I loved how [...]
Okay, so the story baton idea seems to have generated a decent amount of interest. (Sorry I haven't had time to talk about it of late.) I've been giving the concept a bit more thought, and I still have so many questions.

I went to the supermarket a few days ago, and the bill came to Rs. 197.50. I paid Rs. 200 and got Rs. 2 in change. Where was my 50 cents? They couldn’t give it to me, as they didn’t keep change less than one rupee.
There are many places in Colombo that don’t give change [...]
I went to meet my bank manager recently and whilst I was there, a gentleman came in and withdrew three million rupees. In cash. I have never seen that much money before. I’m not sure if I ever will again. It was all in green Rs. 1,000 bills. He put it all in a briefcase [...]
Another email forward I got. (I hope this doesn't become a habit.)
I'm posting this because I have heard similar stories before, which I detail after the quote.
Fwd from someone's Experience
Dear Friends,
I had a very bad experience while travelling back home on 19th Night.Place : Entrance to the 2nd lane from the road between [...]
There’s a plugin that really helps me keep this blog ship-shape.
Akismet stops comment spam, and it does a damn good job of it too. I have only experienced it miss a spam comment a few times in the last year. It does a great job, and for that I give it a big hug [...]
