Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings,. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings! A Rare Video of SWRD. In this recent blog post. Sam reminds how S W R D Bandaranaike changed national language in 1956, something most people in the present generation [wrongly] call a "Sinhala-only" policy. This rare video on youtube.

Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings,. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings! Using GIT to Manage Config Files. One thing I like about GIT. Among others, is that it creates a repository locally. This makes simple things easy, still not disallowing complex things. A good use of GIT is to manage the configuration files in a GNU/Linux system. This article describes the way I do it. In this example, I will use the Squid. Ok, so here are the steps. Cd /etc # git init.

http://anuradha.sayura.net/2008/04/latex-and-sinhala-unicode.html
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings,. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings! LaTeX and Sinhala Unicode. When we met at Excel World. On last 17th, Bud. Srimal and myself started talking about using Sinhala Unicode in TeX. It didn't occur to me that Chamath. But also sent a patch to Debianize it! Life is too complex, and I am too human to keep track of all these. So we started creating a preprocessor for Vasantha Saparamadu's Sinhala TeX. XeTeX font changes are a...

Anuradha's Diary: Why Native Language is Important for Web
http://anuradha.sayura.net/2008/04/why-native-language-is-important-for.html
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings,. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings! Why Native Language is Important for Web. After reading this blog post. About blogging Sinhala, I felt like writing my thoughts about the topic. There are very few "yes" or "no" answers in life, so I don't think it is correct to rule "blogging in Sinhala is a good idea" or vice versa. Most answers can begin with an "it depends", and I think it is true here, too. Check out this blog post.

It is easier to be critical than to be correct! Saturday, April 2, 2011. I am still proud to be a Sri Lankan! I was planning to write something on my blog today with a winning mind . It is interesting, even after seeing our boys get defeated by Indians in the Worldcup final 2011, still I can write something with a winning mind set. Our players played really well throughout the tournament and provided fantastic cricket entertainment to Sri Lankan cricket lovers. Check out the following records:. The legen...

It is easier to be critical than to be correct! Monday, June 22, 2009. To Get Rid of the Sad Feelings in My Mind. Although he scored some runs, "Sanga" didn’t lead the team: I must say that World Cup final match is not the correct time to try new things out. I have few question here:. How did Jehan Mubharak come in 3rd in the batting lineup? I heard the same question was raised by both international and local commentators during the match. One might ask "what if that worked? What did Mahela do? Anyway no...
