Pradeep Kodikara is a young and hip Sri Lankan architect. I’ve known him for many years now since we first worked on the Sri Lanka Architects website (www.slia.lk).
I recently helped setup an online portfolio for him over at
pradeepkodikaraarchitecture.com
He showed me this great house when I met him last. It seems so spacious yet it was built on only 6 perches or so. If you are ever in the market for a dream home like this give him a buzz.
Lets face it emailing large files is a pain. I was reminded of that again today. Dropsend seemed to have a new Windows client but I needed to sign up and stuff. Which is a hassle when you are in a hurry. So I turned to YouSendIt and 4 minutes later my 5mb file was sent.
This is what good web applications should be like, fast and simple. Maybe if both of these sites had OpenID I wouldn’t have minded logging in.

Pidgin is my main IM tool of choice. It was the best thing on Linux and now I use it on the office Windows box as well. It supports all these networks below. Its been updated to 2.4.0 a few days ago, so if you have it update or try it out.
I got Dialog TV a few weeks ago. The sign up process was a breeze, maybe because I was already a mobile customer. They just asked for my contact details and took a copy of my id, and that was it.
I’m happy with the clarity and program information that comes with the digital signal. The only issue is when it starts to rain the signal goes away for a while.
I had a bad signal for Star World with Comet Cable but they never bothered to follow up my complaints or fix it. I was a comet subscriber for many years and I got tired of them dropping channels unannounced etc.
I’m hearing that Comet Cable will upgrade to digital, but I feel I will get a better service and more competitive prices from Dialog TV. So I’ve moved on.
Here are a few related sites worth watching about cable TV in Sri Lanka.

I bought this environmentally friendly bad a few weeks ago at Arpico. It was like 75 bucks and I thought it was a good idea at the time. They happily put my stuff in the new eco bag and I was on my way.
The thing about an eco bag is your supposed to reuse it. So I took it back today. To my surprise I was told I can’t take the bag in. Their “leave your bags at the counter outside” policy contradicted with my quest to save the earth.
I explained to the security guy that they sold me the bad to spare the use of polythene and I was going to take it in. I even showed that it was empty and I was going to put the stuff I buy in it.
After 15 seconds of explaining and the other security guy at the exit telling this guy to let me go, he got off my case.
Arpico please brief your employees so I don’t have to.
I’m still pissed at the whole thing. I’m going to keep taking my bag back, that is if I feel like shopping there again. Because unlike your social responsibility show that you put on I care about where I live.
