If you have being in Sri Lanka, it’s funny to see the weather changes from place to place. We started the trip from Colombo to travel 110km (which we didn’t know) to a place called “Pallama” (off “Chilaw” towards “Anamaduwa”). The trip was 2.5 hours due to the traffic in Colombo and suburbs with a greasy shower coming down from hell to slow us down. My driver was my colleague who was generous to pick me from home. We stopped at a place after travelling 60km for breakfast. Rice was ordered and the plate was full with side curry’s while we enjoyed with a Srilankan style “Reggae” music bringing smiles to the faces. SUPER breakfast after a long time finished with a “buddy” bottle of Ginger Bear ! Guess what….name of the place is, “Raata Aran avith Kaaala yamu” (Bring the bottles at night for drinks and eat and go") – attitude with a difference. When we arrived at the destination there was a ceremony organized by the regional government authorities, schools & the general ...

Got a mobile dongle for ease of use when in Colombo Sri Lanka. I was actually cheated by the advertisements which went out in the TV. Mobitel is one of the leading mobile operators in Sri Lanka which is a child company of the national telephone operator Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT). They were the first to introduce the HSDPA 14.4 & 7.2 MBPS to the local market which was a success. One of the major failures in a management of an Sri Lankan company is that when the money is good they tend to forget the service for the customers. When they figure it out that the service is also important to grow and sustain in the market, they are already failed and exposed their limbs to others. If you don’t believe me check Dialog Telekom & it’s share price fluctuations for the past year or so. Below are a series of pictures that I took while trying to connect to internet to download mails. If anyone of you ask me for the best internet service provider in Sri Lanka – the answer is NONE. ...

the most wanted Operating System which everyone was waiting for a while was Windows 7. I was amazed to see the hype built towards the end of the month of September on Windows 7 in the region. Most of the sub's screemed with the launch which was a huge hit world wide. Steve B showed the world with a different kind of a marketing campaign with a little cuty called "Kylie" who introduced the Windows 7 features. Some argued that was wrong to get a small kid in an advertiesment and some said this is for kid's and not for enterprises. I was humble enough to think what kind a stupid people are there who are using internet. But on the other hand that the mentality which made them different from the rest. And in our company we embrace the difference with others..... Language Interface Packs or LIP's were introduced in Windows OS's for countries like ours. This was truely an amazing hight for the younger and rural population in a coutnry. India used their native languages ...

Last week we released the newest version of Microsoft Exchange Server system to manufacturing… it was a nice to see how Microsoft R&D teams (which is one of the biggest in the world) rehearse and develop a system which was requested by customers who were using and about to use the last version. What many people don’t believe is that in a product development cycle, research is an important portion. Take an example, of the Linux distributions – we can always download the “FREE” software without anybody’s intervention and also get a GNU license. But have you thought that even if you have the product free, who is going to develop the new additions which we always need. For an example – a security loop-hole fix or a new Printer driver…. If I got the download from the Red Hat site, I may need to pay to get the support. Then I will be able to download the fix for the security loop-hole (do remember Linux also got security loop-holes). But if the distribution which I download isn’t ...
