Good Bye Ceylon Cricket and Tony (Graig)

Good Bye Tony (Graig)

Demise of Tony in December 2012

 

We have to say 

Good Bye to Tony,

Who had been our 

Sporting Ambassador

And I have made a resolution,

In his name,

No fire crackers 

For the New Year 2013.

Why is that anyway?

Tony Graig, 

The best of our Cricketing friends

Is no more,   

He was the closest friend of ours,

The next closest of our friends

Is the canine species,

The Paraya Dog Type

With no permanent residence

Who chase the politicians

Of all shades of colour,

Are terrified of the thunder,

That announces 

The arrival of these political thugs

At our doorsteps

By the way,

Tony should now 

Join the angles

Who play cricket 

EVERY DAY

Except

On Sundays! 

Well what do they do
On Sundays? 

They watch Cricket,
If Ceylon
Is not playing,
 

Sorry-Lanka Cricket,
To be precise

PS.
I thank God for sparing 
Tony watching any more of
Agonizing Ceylonese Cricket.

 

How I solved the NUC Audio Problem

The Intel NUC, the basic unit, I have had no Audio inputs and outputs and no fan.
 

My attraction was it's low wattage with sky rocketing electricity bills.
 

It has two HDMI outputs and stuck my Sony TV to one input and to the other HDMI port, I fixed the VGA monitor through  a converter.

Problem solved but only Emmabantus can configure two monitors and ALT Linux and Debian cannot.

Debian has to rewrite it's CODE for dual monitor and it's wireless coding is still primitive.

Now I will break a trade secret of Dialog  here for intelligent customers.

Using SIM through any network is expensive, whereas wireless link is cheaper comparatively.

If you do not have a wireless router at home a simple way out is to buy a wireless mobile and stick another Dialog SIM and load it with data package.

You sign in with your password and stick the mobile unit in your trouser pocket like a boiled egg.

Problem is solved your cellphone will not run out of data.

I use the mobile unit to link with my PC and Laptop and why not use it for the cellphones the voice SIM (no charge from voice SIM).

I downloaded all the software for ALT Linux using the Dialog Wincle.

ASIRI Surgical Hospital and Australian VISA Processing Unit and The Comparison

This piece is to say good about Russia and ALT Linux.

I have decided to learn Russian Language for a brief tourist visit to Moscow.

Not dollar but the Ruble is going up by the minute and our agencies are not giving the parity for Ruble.

It is not gold but one should buy Ruble which is tagged to Gold by default.

Buying Ruble is like buying gold.

But I have to go through an European country via Australia probably.

I was given an appointment at 10AM for Bio-metrics and I was dispensed out in about, half an hour.
Thank you.

Australian are only neurotic about  Tuberculosis which they probably contract from Aberogenes, Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.
I need to add Chinese,too.

We in Ceylon has a good BCG vaccination program given soon after birth before exposure to active cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.

A student of mine who was a chest physician and nurse known to me in Nittambuwa Hospital died of tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is often diagnosed as a case of cancer since sputum culture for TB is poor in Ceylon.

I need to have a swipe at Anthony Fausi.

What this guy who is an ace crook did to prevent spread of Tuberculosis?

My prediction is with the coronavirus pandemic peaking itself, the relapse of tuberculosis is going to be a real problem especially in Ukraine with Asian mercenaries, already fighting there.

But (VQA) they only took my finger prints for bio-metrics.

Fingers can rarely transmit tuberculosis and TB bacilli are resistant to current detergents.

Even bacterial stains do not penetrate the cell walls of TB and 30 minutes of heating of the slide is mandatory.

Did not do a proper Retinal Test which is the most useful biomarker.

They took a photograph which probably had a macro lens.

I am a microscopic and photographic man and Funduscopic examination is fundamental to Medical Examination and I may be the only one in Ceylon who was not an eye surgeon who has an ophthalmoscope with a tiny auroscopic accessory for kids.

I have not seen a patient for 22 years and retired from teaching pathology 7 years ago and my critical sensing is good and finished a book on Interleukins better term Cytokines, just few days ago (with minimal typing errors).

I told the Tamil Lady, I was not a criminal in Sinhala but a sensible man (did not tell her I was a doc).

So all VISA officers are paranoid and paranoia is a serious psychiatric condition.

By the way. Australians are also obsessed about hook works!

The lady doctor did not ask for a stool sample for testing vermilion.

At ASIRI Hospital I had to wait nearly three hours for the medical having paid Rs.15,000/= for a urine test, chest X-Ray and a putative blood test which I did not need.

This is in addition to the doctor's fee of Rs.5000/=.

Doctors are the worst parasites in this world!

They were only interested in how much they could plunder me in 3-hours.

The nurses were like Barby Doll robots poorly trained but virtual runners in surgical terminology.

Eye testing woman was horrible and the unit did not have the contrast background that is necessary for proper testing of vision.

I was trained in New Zealand to do eye screening on weekly basis using slit lamp examination (of the corneal abrasions), which I was good at.

ASIRI Hospital probably did not have a slit lamp ophthalmoscope for Retinal Examination.

It did not have a proper WHO recommended  sphigmomanometer to test my BP.

The worse was there was not a single washbasin to clean my hands before entry into a cubicle.

Toilets were ordinary and not to the Hotel Standards.

I saw a  horrified little girl under 7 with her mother waiting for a ??? unnecessary psychiatric examination.

Luckily for me my wife was with me to take my building anger away.

Besides, if a male doctor examined me I would have blasted him.

She did not test my testicles and missed the tiny direct hernia on the right side.

One can miss a testicular cancer.

They did not test my haemoblobin / PCV which is always high probably due to renal overproduction of renin.

I was polycythemic all my life and I  take aspirin as a precaution and I did not tell this lady doctor why I was taking aspirin fearing another blood test and money out of my pocket.

After all these, I told her, she is wasting her time on medical examinations (is a waste of her qualifications) for cash dividends.

Furthermore, I did not tell her, I was a pathologist for 40 years.

I am interested only, looking in depth, after an eventful death.

I did not tell her, the doctors miss 60% of the diagnosis at the first examination and after two more examinations and testing, it never gets better and goes below 50%.

I hope this doctor does not read this piece even by accident.

She has no time, I believe to update her experience.

Since she has never seen (at least a single) a PM Examination, the  academic upgrade is humanly impossible.

With experience doctors become worse is my catch phrase.

Only Forensic Pathologists become wiser not general pathologists.

I have become bit wiser having read Buddha in my old age.

Now coming to my main topic.

ALT Linux MATE is fabulous.

It was bit slow to Boot and Install and configure my WiFi but once configured to my needs does a very neat job in the Linux Work Station.

I increased the workplaces to 4 which is my standard.

Like Sparky Linux which is at it's very best, a Russian distribution which powers my Laptop, it had cellphone utilities including Telegram and Spotfire.

I booted it with English but I want to boot it with Russian and the Russian alphabet is my next target.

Russia unlike USA is a rich cultural civilization and it's War machine under President Putin is fine tuned to enter the simmering Third War III.

I bet UK cannot stand up to it and USA is currently faltering.

Russian ALT Linux and Total Erasure of two of my hard disks

I tend to do irrational things once a year or so.
I was trying to install Russian ALT Linux and both due to my lack of knowledge of Russian, aided by poor eyesight, Hit Enter key, that took over both my hard disks.

It surely took over and erased all the partitions I had made for 5 distributions.

So I did not have any OS to boot.

This is the first time I have done this in over 23 years of Linux.

No WARNING from ALT Linux.

I have a liking of this MATE desktop, so I went back to basics and installed ALT Linux, Emmabantus, Sparky Linux both Media and Game Over and currently installing Ubuntu to get my ESP boot loader recognizing all distributions at the boot up stage.

By the way, ALT Linux has lot of useful Linux utilities.

MATE desktop is light and clean.
I love it if not ALT.

The bottom line is I am going to learn Russian starting with it's large alphabet.
Why this obsession against this country with a long history.
By the way, I do not like or dislike President except I SAY, he is the only Man in this world with WOKE culture with ambiguous sex orientation.

I decided to dump Emmabantus and go back to my favourite Debian.

One and only one reason Emmabantus take about 10 minutes for fschk File integrity checking.

I have to dump AbiWord, too grudgingly simply because of Amazon's Dum/P Text Editor.

Well I have published all my books and I lost only one manuscript in a scientific theme due to my erratic behaviour.

I have no DATA in my NUC, I erased all my photos and images, too.
It is a clean slate now and booting well.

Only games no writing untill the current American Geared WAR is Over.

No WAR games by default!

It looks like Americans are getting a real battering and a hammering.

What is happening in Ceylon MobiTel and Google

 What is happening in Ceylon MobiTel

Google has gone BONKERS with their security update.

They do not let me sign up to my Gmail.

I do not care I have three more alternative emails.

Luckily I have not published book at Amazon under Gmail and on second thought I won't. 

Not only Google browsing your private actiovity,

DO not use Gmail if you have one. 

Not only MobiTel guys are stealing money without offering a bill.

Over Rs.1200/= I put it in a Till in a Till in Kandy City was not credited to my account.

This is the third time DO NOT Use MobTel.

I saw a guy dismantling the Till as YOU enter City Center.

Fortunately Google have not stopped my Blog activity.
