Linux Programming Languages

 Linux Programming Languages

1. Vi was my beginning but later went to Vim.

 

2. PHP MyAdmin was my Samba and Server friend but I do not want to touch it in my old age.         In any case, I do not have a Network in Australia.

 

3. Perl was my attraction

Being a Writer this was an attraction.

I quickly settled down on little Abiword which was only28MB when it started.

 

4. Lyx

No more Latex now but Lyx is a derivative.

 

5. Abiword

It is my favourite after Bluefish.

Is a word processor with a command line functionality.

It is now over 300MB.

It is my workhorse.

It has its own development package but very few have time for it.

Debian 12.10- - - dropped it.

It came back to Debian in 12.9--.

I would stick with it.

 

6. C

Linux is written in C and this where I started coding.

 

7. C++

I did not waste time on C++

 

9. Python

Python was the one which attracted my interest in Linux.

“Joy of Linux” was the first book I purchased.

The book had a long account on Python.

It is versatile but it is so long like an anaconda,    I gave up.

 

10. Java I really liked when it had Java phones which one could manipulate. One cannot find a Java phone now.

 

11. JavaScript I hate because it is cross platform.

 

12. Bash/Shell is unique.

I still read Linux Bible when I decide to look at a shell script for fun.

 

13.  Perl was my attraction until I settled down in Abiword.

 

14. Go of Google.

I collected its package in Ubuntu which was 1.2GB  but when it became 2.4GB, I gave it up. It has gone above that level of 2.4GB, at which level,     I stopped counting.

Go is Linux based and buggy and bulky.

 

15. Ruby

Ruby on rails was Web Development Language which I had a flash when I first developed my first Private Web Page with WordProcess.com (not .og organization which has gone commercial now) long before Google was born. I still have it and I have forgotten my password for Yahoo Mail to open it.

I got my Yahoo Mail, back.

I am going to activate it when I finish with my 5 books, that includes this book.

It is in slow progress.

Linux Essentials reached 450 pages.

It has gone above 600 pages.

I wanted to keep it as it is.

I do not want to delete any component.

It is active but one needs to go on searching for my original web site’s name.

 

16. Rust is new.

I have no knowledge except Ubuntu trying to Reinvent Linux. It is going to be a either flash in the pan or making money on the go. It was not the intention of Ubuntu Master Guru.

 

17. Swift

It is macOS which I have no interest.

 

18.  Haskell and compiz compositor is supposed to be Research Work with very little Fat in its Core.

It works on a Black Terminal.

Until it comes out with a simple graphic front,          I won’t try it.

 

19. R is the only statistical package for Linux.

It comes as Octave and is very large package.

I think it was developed in New Zealand.

Not when I was roaming in South Island.

 

20. PHP

Server side scripting language which has become plump and may become a pest and may take over your system.

My Theory on Aliens

CIA

Rear Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkotter

FBI

John Edgar Hoover

Early Americans had two projects.

Nuclear Bomb Testing 

Stealth Air Craft

There were many mishaps including crash of aviation vessels and Nuclear accidents including burns and cancer victims both civilians and military. They had to be covered up, so a steady stream of recruits could be harnished.

Alien story was a convenient plot to divert attention from civilians. 

Cattle mutilation of Linda Moulton Howe was successful to a certain extent and cattle ranchers choose to leave the area.

Alien stories multiplied and Area 51 became a tourist attraction and very nice plots for feature films. 

I was interested in these films and to me all films are by default fictional.

Then the misinformation campaign of Richard Doty of Kirkland Air Force guy had a field day.

80% lies and 20% factual.

William Bill Cooper was a Navy guy who did not tore the line and created the conspiracy theory.

While all these happening MIC or the Military Industrial Complex gathering speed with Vietnam War causing major casualtirs after Korean War.

Apollo explorations were draining lot of resources and with the President J. F. Kennedy assassination things took a distinct political adventure.

Then comes moon lamding hoax by film producer Bert Sibert who changed from Childhood Believer to Hoax or Conspiracy Theory.

This is how MIC, FIC and TIC operate in USA.

INTEL

R. N. Noyce

Integrated circuit in 1959

Robert Moore 

Transistors would double every 2 years

Intel Core 17

3100 transistors 

Pentium

3.1 million transistors

Intel 4004 in 1971

Apple based its products on this chip with

16 bullion transistors. 

Andy Grove 

Fedrico Fraggin

Designed the chip with 2300 transistors.

He etched his initials FF on the chip.

Intel was losing on Memory chips.

Stopped making memory and changed to making Intel Microchps.

8008

8086

8088

Became 386, 486, 586, 686

In 1970s

Inel Inside Series 

80386 32 bits

80486

80586 = Pentium (I)

Can hold up to 4GB of Data Memory 

In 1990s

80686 64 bits

Pentium Pro

Pentium II and III

Can hold DATA in 16 exabytes (16.7 terabytes) 

Graphic Card bus handles the extra data.

So do not think of 128 and 256 computers unless you are a hard game addict or a cryptocurrency dealer.

Legally numbers cannot be used as tradarks and names have to be registered legally.

80786

Programming Languages Beginning from C

AI

I am ambivalent of AI in general and specially in Linux. It will kill some of the rarely used and elaborate programming languages like Perl. I have many books in Ceylon including Unix.

Ping

Pipe

Cat were my favourites.

However, I have no problem having snippets of AI CODE for error checking and redundancy checking which should or would be removed once the final outcome is reached for a particular purpose. 

Using AI to truncate a well written program commodity is not a panacea for human ingenuity.

Human nature unlike a machine (computer) is not blank but evolving.

Assuming Rostwell crash occured in 1947 and we started Reverse Engineering, it took nearly 20 years till 1967 for us to develop viable computer languages.

Beginning it was Unix and BSD.

In 1970s we had C.

In another 20 years in 1992 we mobed to Linux. Then onwards the uoward mobility was staggering.

Linux

95% of the kernel is C

There are other Assembly Languages 

Python, Bash Shell amd C++

RUST is a new addition where it is said memory allocation is better. 

However, by default Linux use less resources and processes are handled in father and son relationship with orphan processes not causing any detriment to the system running.

JAVA is rarely used in Linux due to its vulnerabilities.

A Programming Language 

Kenneth E Iversion in 1960s but the rapid development of C started in 1973 to 1975

That is the first language I tried to learn.

Embedded systems, blockchains and web applications.

In Linux, operating system, file system, software applications and device drivers.

Despite the push for its inclusion only a tiny fragment of kernel contains RUST. Linux Developers have to manage the memory and safety features since kernel does not do those function by default. Some lazy developers especially from Ubuntu try to push RUST into Linux kernel due mainly to this reason. 

Linus Torvalds resist this trend since Linux is C based kernel.

Giving the responsibility to Sunil Senevi to look after Buddhist Affairs is like giving a jackal the key to  a chicken shed. I think, he is more cunning than a jackal. He never says anything about his father's side who are all Catholics.

Indian Buddhagosha and Mahanama are distortors of Ceylon History

These were written during Christian Era, 425-430 to fit in with King Buddhadasa (on his request). Tamil Mahavira monks deliberately destroyed the Hela Atuwa to implamt the Indian concocted or distorted history.

According to Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi the Dimbulahala Stone Edit has 2198 letters. This Stone Edits has all the names connected to Buddha including his brother Nanda. This Stone Edit supports the view that Buddha belongs to our history and he was born in Ceylon.

Our archaeologicalogists conveniently ignore this Stone Edit to prevent true history of Ceylon coming out clear and concisely.

Anura Guy is deliberately avoid any discussion related to Buddha and Buddhism. He has taken a contract from LTTE and India destroy Buddhism amd its history in Ceylon. 

Current Anuradhapura and Mihintale incidents which Ranil Wickramasinghe spearheaded using MCC Protocol is an extention of the above conspiracy. 

Anura is taking it forward.

1848 Rebellion in Ceylon 

Paranavithana is a British Christian Priest, installed in Ceylon by King George the VI to distort the entire history of Ceylon.

Any book written while referring to his book edits is distortion of our proper history.

Mr.Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi has exposed this SORDID and clandestine effort by the British King George VI.

King George the VI

Born December, 14th 1895

Died December 21th 1952 at the age of 56. I was 3 years old and I saw Queen Elizebath II when she visited Ceylon in 1952 after her coronation. She was returning after visiting Sir John Kotalawala at his residence Walawwa in Kurunegala. 

He was the MP for Kurunegala and Dodangaslanda. He owned graphite mines in Dodangaslanda. His main residence was in Kandawala Walawwa in Ratmalana. He was born in Puliyandala. I used to visit his residence in Kurunegala as a kid under 5 years. He used to pick me from my legs and hold my head down. Because of him, I lost fear to any grown up adult including Catholic Priests at Ampitiya College, Kandy who were real monsters. 

He owned an estate in Kent, UK. 

My last job in UK was Doncaster Kent.

I paid my gratitude when he was hospitalized in Merchant Ward in Colombo General Hospital. In fact, I diagnosed his illness before leaving to UK in 1979 December. 

He died on October, 1980 at the age of 83.

He lived like a King after retirement unlike SWRD who defeated him in 1956.

Suffice is to say it was a cancer but not the prostate cancer. 

I was a pathologist in my medical career.

Strangely enough, I saw Princess Diana in Bangor, Wales before she married to Prince of Wales.

We were living in Wauda, Galagedara near Kande Vihara where Gotama Buddha supposed to have spent some time in a particular cave. 

It was presented to Sanga by Batha Siva Putta. 

At that time, in 1950s this temple was run by a Hindu Pusari. I used go there to eat giant oil cakes (විශාල කැවුම්) during Hindu festivals. 

There is a stone edit there depicting the following.

Batha Siva Puththa gane sa ga sa

බත ශිව පුත්ත, බුද්ධ ප්‍රමුඛ සංගයාට, පුජා කල ලෙන 

Nearly 50 years later, Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi in 1998 rediscovered this temple but the temple was later plundered by (නිදන් හොරු) Archaeological Treasure Hunters.

All these coincides were there, in my life history, but I could not figure them out, when events did occur right in front of my eyes.

My intention was to enter University of Ceylon, Petadeniya established in 1942. Medical Faculty was edtablished in 1962 and I entered the University in 1968.

One of my uncles who was a prominant Buddhist Monk and he wanted to take me in but I flatly refused. I promised him that I would take to Dhamma in my old age which I did as a scientist. I did help my monk relative to establish a temple in Colombo while I was working at Colombo General Hospital during Senior Premadasa time. His private secretary Gamage who was working in the hospital was the main link pin. He was a very good public servant. I never saw Mr. Premadasa face to face fearing he would recruite me for his political activities.

B. P. C. or Buddhist Publication Society, in Lake Round, was a place I frequented often looking for particular Bhodhi Leaves which I used to read to digest Dhamma in depth. It is located where Dr. Dharmasena, prominant General Practitioner had his dispensary, there.I was taken there for consultations as a kid. He donated his dispensary to the B. P. C.

Original monks who ran this book outlet were German Jews who were ordained as Buddhist monks. During World War Ii they were imprisoned in India.

Reverend Nynathiloka

He lived in Forest Hermitage of Udawattakale, in Kamdy.

Reverend Nynanapoinika

Born 1901 in Germany.

Died at the age of 93 in Kandy, Forest Hermitage.

Cofounded BPS. in 1958.

Heart of Buddhist Meditation was his prominent publivation.

Venetable Narada and his books were my foundation including Dhammapada and Abhidharma.

Still later Bhikku Bodhi who left to America, having written a booklet named Buddhism at Crossroads.

A. S. Karunaratna

Richard Obeysekara

Palithhs Mendis currently is the Administrative Ofiicer.

Reflecting now, I see the connections.

I have a large collection of books on Buddhism in Ceylon.

One of my mission (unknown to me as a kid) in this life is to restore Buddhism in Ceylon to its prinstine form as a lay Buddhist.

As a writer, I have already done that with 3 books and another on Meditation is in preparation.

Coming back to King George VIi.

Queen Elizebath II and Princess Margaret were his daughters.

He had a distinct stammer.

He was involved in World War I.

He became the king in 1936 after King Edward VIII abdicted after marrying a American lady Wallis Simpson twice divorced. He took part in Wirld War I.

His later Title was Duke of Winsor

He was the Emperor of India

Winston Churchill who use to keep an underage child as a consort was the Prime Minister of UK during World War Ii.

He was made Windsor Edward VIII and lived his retirement in France.

Died in 1972 at the age of 77 due to a throat cancer.

අනුරාධපුර පුජා නගරයට කෙලින්න හදන ඉන්දියානු ව්‍යාපෘතිය

Read and listen to Chapa Bandara YouTube presentation for details. Pland is to destroy Anuradhapura for Military Complex including an Airport in Anuradhapura and Mihintale. 

Chief monks are trapped in by Sirasa and Maha Raja organization.

BEWARE.

Government should be forced to nullify the two gazette notifications, one by Bimal Ratnayake and other by Patalee Champika Ranawana.

පාටලී චම්පික ජාති ද්‍රෝහියෙක්.

ඔහු ඉන්දියාවේ උවමනාවට සකස්කල නාගරික සංවර්ධන ව්‍යාපෘතිය. මෙයට "රනිල් ප්‍රෝජෙට්" කියන එක වඩා සුදුසුයි. 

අනුර දැන් ඒ ක්‍රියාව රනිල් වෙනුවෙන්න ක්‍රියාවට නගන්න හදන්නේ. ආයේ කවදාකාවත් රනිල්ට රජ වෙන්න දෙන්න සුදුසු නැහැ. අපේ ඇස්වලට කඩතිර දමා ගේමක් අනිවාර්යෙන් දෙන්න ලැහැස්ති වෙලා ඉන්නේ.

සිංහල බෞද්ධ ජනතාව මෙයට එරෙහිව නගී සිටිය යුතුයි.

Patalee Champika Ranavaka is a traitor to our national interests. He is disloyal and an Indian stooge. In his Town Development Plan he has taken action to destroy the sacred city of Anuradhapura and Kandy. This is MCC Millennium Challenge Project of Americans spearheaded by Ranil Wickramasinghe.

Anura is trying his best to implement this Indian proposal.

We should not allow Ranil to become President again. He invariably blindside the electorate by his clever gimmicks.

As a Buddhist Nation we should rise against this Anti Buddhist ploy of India and America (MCC).

Ray MacGovern - CIA Intelligence Analyst

He is good talk show guy on American involvement in War, Politics and Intelligence.

He was a former CIA Analyst.

He created Veteran Intelligence for Sanity Organization. 

As honest guy he wants to appreciation the committment of US military personalities dead and alive.

He talks about the American ship attacked by Israel pilots in Sinai in 1967 when Israel started the Middle East crisis and annexed Arab territories.

By the way the phrase conspiracy theory was created by CIA Chief Allen Dulles who was removed by President J. F. Kennedy on the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs Cuban Invasion.

1980 UK Computers in Dixons

Dixons sold computers then but I was interested in Cameras. I went for Kodak digital and combo cameras, first. Finally I settled down with a canon SLR camera.

It only in 1984, I bought a Commodore 64 without knowing it went bust in USA.

WAR creates (Artificial Money) Dollars

This summary is created by listening to a YouTube presentation with my own edits.

British Author - Simon Dixon 

I did not understand Economics as a doctor. I was trying to learn economics  from a retired government auditor but he passed away during Coronavirus pandemic. 

Now I am trying to synthesis that uncompleted coverasation on economy and how it operates.

The World Economy operates on ongoing war somewhere on this planet (globe).

Three Institutions 

American Structure 

MIC

Government 

Democracy 

Gains shared by Asset companies.

Losses shared by citizens with cost of living going up

1. Military Industrial Complex (MIC)

2. Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) 

The Banking System 

3. Technological Industrial Complex (TIC)

The Silicon Valley 

Programmable Digital Currency with AI (cryptocurrency) is the backbone of Chip Industry. NVidea Chips are necessary to do these enormous calculation in a fraction of a second. 

The prices of Chips and DDR4/5 RAMS went up exponentially.

My dream of ownning a Smart Mini PC with cellphone technology went into hibernation by default.

RIP or Recovery is Impossible for smaller blocks or companies.

(my interest is Linux outside this Silicon Valley ) 

Now creating sophisticated drones

1. Bank of England 

2. Swiss Bank

3. American Federal Reserve Bank

Norfok Hold 80 to 90% of the gold.

Over time Singapore Bank holds some of these Gold assets as security for the above 3 banks. 

That is why it is the richest country in the world with the most successful dictatorship.

Dutch East India busts.

British Empire flourishes.

Empire collapses having created Israel in 1948 on Palestine where all the petrol dollar money is created.

Install puppet dictatorships on Arab Land who own the sovergn debt of Americans through War Machinary.

I do not see any time in my life time without war in this world.

The end of War in Ukraine for Russia is the beginning of war in Taiwan (Formosa) for Chinese.

This is how this world operates and that is why we would never reach Great Civilization I of the Galactic Civilization, at least 7 in order of merits.

American buys all the Debts

British / America creates the Israel - Iran War.

Send 3 billion worth of military equipment during this current war. Americans gain money.

Nearly 300 billion American dollars transferred to Israel from 1948 onwords.

Rise and Fall of dollar depends on one war ending and another war beginning.

Israel buys most of its War Chest from America but have few of its own companies in Israel manufacturing military hardware while having developed their own Nuclear Bomb with the help of (probably) French inputs at the beginning.

These three banks have all the Gold.

But the trick is they create the illusion that they own 100% of this Gold while holding only 10% of the net worth of Gold as a holding. 

In other words print paper money 90% in excess of the actual holding of Gold.

Unknown entities own the World Assets through the above banks.

Assest Companies lend money to countries 

War creates debt

Banks own the Debt and transfer it to the government in power.

Government transfers that debt to citizens by oncresing the credit rate.

Increase credit means increase in commodity prices.

This means citizens are always in debt to banks. The suffering continue irrespective of who is in power.

Banks creates the stock market 

Lend money at 4% and earn 4% (8-4 = 4) more and double their assets 

People Trade on the Stock Market and own the Government Debt.

People pay 8% Interest and the prices of commodities go up.

Chines System

Dictorship

Government owns the citizens.

All Private companies are controlled by the Government 

Military Industrial Complex sits below the Government 

Books on Buddha Born in Ceylon

Following authors have stated that Buddha was a Ceylonese.

Hugh Moore

Juao Rubeirue 

De La Reverere

A. M. Philelethese

Edward Muller

William Keene

Aline Van Dort 

Don David Hewavitharana or later named Dharmapala is the one who transported Buddha to India. He was a NOT a born Catholic. His creation of Mahabhodi Society was the beginning of Bogus Dogma that Buddha was born in India.

Unfortunately, Colonel Olcott was involved in forming Theological Society in Madras India.

These are extracted from a YouTube presentation of Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi.

Nagoda Ariyadasa Wickrama Seneviratne is the one who has done genuine research work but he prefers to keep a low profiles.

He probably has proof read some of Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi's writings.

There are over 170 books claiming Buddha was born in Ceylon. Interestingly, most of our monks including Ellawala Medananda states that Buddha was born in India. That is the biggest tradegy. They are interested in taking pilgrims to India.

Nandasena Mudiyanse

Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi published one on 2005. He is consistent in all his writings with Stone Edits to support his claims unlike the guys listed here.

He has done local Research Work from 1882 lasting 23 years. 

He has written 56 other related books in Sinhala, on various topics.

Mukalane Pangnananda

He is an Orthodox Bikku but he refers to place different from what Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi has stated.

Mevanapalane Dhammalankara in 2009

He is a pensioner with a short history in Sasana, who is a saffron clothed guy with putative claims of Arahathood.

He probably has taken copyright material of Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi's Work for his own publicity.

Subashini Kindulpitiya

Has referred to Paranavithana who has only copied what was written by British authors. He has not done any independent research relating what he quoted or copied.

Sisira Ranjith Perera

Most likely obtained material from Jayarathna Pathiraarchchi's publications.

Lawyer Nihal Sumandeera.

Osborne Effect from Invention (Aquisition) to Grave

I just watched the "Retro Radio Gadgets" display in United Kingdom where only old guys like me visited it with enthusiasm. It is currently available on YouTube. Then, I watched another YouTube presentation where another clever guy listed 53 Gadgets that failed after millions of investment where the Idea was great but the execution was bad.

The First portable computer 1 developed by Osborne Computer Corporation was cannibalized by its intended next version.

Osborne Effect is when a viable product that sells well announces it's next innovative product ahead of it's time and the product that sells well plummets and the company go bust and the new innovation never see the daylight.

This is why Apple never announces it next product.

I could not afford many of the gadgets which was a blessing in disguise. 

Then, of course I found Linux (Redhat) by accident and never looked back on Windows. Linux has ton of Software including Blender FREE. 

It saved me a lot as a family man.

Android Cellphone killed most of the products since it is not the gadget but the software that rules the world.

Rival company buys the product outright and kills it in it's infancy.

Microsoft is known for that ploy.

In my memory ZIP disk was one of many. 

I did not use ZIP disk for Audio but for Microsoft Software.

I would list a few of those companies here.

1. Atari Games

I was caught up without game cartridges 

2. IBM

Killed it's own product to keep the business model floating and ultimately sold its LOGO to China.

I had a Network of 15 IBM computers running various Linux Distribution during 32 bit era. They were damn cheap and I could buy them in bulk at Alpha Digital in Kandy. Only one had a paid copy of Windows without any software.

3. Texas Instruments 

 

4. Apple in its early days before Steve Job took over its administration.

 

5. Sony Cameras

I have a Fuji digital camera now.

6. Sinclair Time's edition

7. Microsoft Windows 95

8. Commodore Computers 

I was caught up with Commodore 64 without a power pack which busted in no time in Ceylon due to poor Voltage in domestic suppy line. I was without a replacement power unit.

9. Sony Betamax

I stuck with JVC

10. Toshiba 

11. Nokia 

Without knowing Nokia going bust, I bought 10 of Nokia varying from Android 5 to 13. I have one Nokia with me and rest is in Ceylon or dished out.

By the way, my first cellphone was JAVA based and wad damn cheap.

12. RadioShack 

More than 25 Gadgets to it's credit.

1. Portable Radio

2. Digital Clock Radio

Cassettes were a craze for me. I wanted to digitalize all my collection of cassettes. 

Copyright guys stopped the manufacturing of these units that digitalize the cassettes that had my children childhood voices.

I had a portable answering machine in UK hospital in my pocket in 1980s. It

I still have one and it works well after 40 years

17. Microcomputer Trainer kit.

Binary coding with machine language.

I tried it with Commodore 64 in 1985 but the power pack busted in no time due to low Voltage in Ceylon.

I nevet saw it but many years later I built by own computer. This is something a working doctor misses in his working life.

I was a physics guy who choose medicine fearing that I miss friends if I did physics in my  adult life. That is what happened to professor of physics at Peradeniya University, Osmund Wickrama Jayarathna who did work on lightening.

Missing in this list is the loudspeakers which I hated. My son wanted one and I bought one without knowing that it needed an Amplifier which mosques use. However, my wife found a portable one with an inbuilt amplifier. All these gadgets are gathering dust in Ceylon.

It is now owned by an El. Salvador company and its Retail is spread through franchise owners in America and Latin America.

It's downfall is due poor mangement by succsessive CEOs who failed to downsize it's failing product lines.

බුදුසසුන වෙනුවෙන් කැපවුණු බික්ෂු බික්ෂුනී, ගැහැණු, පිරිමි (ගිහි පැවිදි) ජන ගංගාවට මගේ ප්‍රණාමය

මෙය දැනට සිදුවන සිධීන් ගොනු කිරීමකි.

වර්තමාන පිබිදුම, මගේ ඇසට පෙනෙන්නේ වෙනත් කෝණයකිනි. නැත්නම් වෙනත් කඩතුරාවකිනි.

බ්‍රිතාන්‍ය සුද්ධන් විසින් සිංහල සමගිය බිදීම සදහා යොදාගත්තේ දේශපාලන පක්ෂ ක්‍රමයයි. අන්තිමට එය ඉන්දියාවේ සහ LTTE එකේ අවශ්‍යතාවයට ජාතිවාදය දක්වා ඩික්ගැස්සී ඇත. 

LTTE ඒක ඉන්දියාවේ නිපැයුමකි. 

එය පැහැදිලිව තේරුම් ගත යුතුයි.

අනුරාධපුරයේ කිසිම වියාපෘතියකට ඉන්දියාව සම්බන්ද කරගත යුතු නැත. දේශපාලන බිම වගුරු බිමක් කිරීමේ ඉන්දියානු උප්පරවැට්ටියට අහුවෙන්න එපා. අනුර දැන් බැහැල ඉන්නේ ඒක කරලා චුත වෙන්න. 

ඔහු ජාති ද්‍රෝහියෙක්.

LTTE උපායට අහුඋන මෝඩයෙක්.

වස්කවි කියා එලවිය යුතු නරුමයෙක්.

ලංකාව දෙකඩ කිරීමේ බ්‍රිතාන්‍ය නියාය ඉක්මයැමක් ඉන්දියාව දැන් කරමින් සිටිනවා. අනුරාධපුර වියපෘතිය ඇස් බැන්ඳුමක්ය. 

එය මොට කල යුතුයි.

කැලුම් ජයසුමන, අංජන උදාර සහ කස්සප හිමිට තිබිය යුත්තේ බෞද්ධයන් දේශපාලන පක්ෂ බිමෙන් ගලවා ගැනීමේ මෙහෙයුමය.

ජානතාව බෙදා වෛරය වැපිර වීමට උදව්වූ පක්ෂ ගොන්නකි.

ලංකාවේ දැන් තිබිය යුත්තේ පක්ෂ 2ක් පමණකි.

බෞද්ධයන් එකමුතු කරන පක්ෂය සහ බෞද්ධයන් අසමගි කරන ඉන්දියාව නිෂ්පාදනය කල NPP/JVP පක්ෂය.

ඉන්දියානු උප්පරවැට්ටිය පරාජය කිරීම යුගයේ අවශ්‍යතාවයයි. 

නායක ස්වාමින් වහන්සේලාගේ, නියම පෞගලික ජිවිත කතා ගැන චරිත සහතික දෙන්න පුළුවන් සුදුස්සා ජයරත්න පතිරආරච්ච් මහතාය  ඒ සඳහා ඔහුට හරි ගෙවීමක් කිරීමට වගබලා ගත යුතුයි.

මගේ පෞගලික පරීක්ෂණ වලට අනුව, කතෝලික පල්ලිය CIA ක්‍රමය අනුව, අන් ආගමිකයන් සාසනය තුල ස්ථාපිත කර ඇත. ඔඋන්ගේ නම් ගම් වෙනම බ්ලොග් සටහනක සදහන් කර ඇත.

කිරිබත්ගොඩයා ඉන් එක්කෙනෙකි. සමහරු මහමෙවනා (උමන්දාව)නිකාය යටතේ යහමින් වැජබෙමින් සිටිති.

ඉදිරියට පොතක් රචනා කිරීමට සිතුනොත් මතක සටහන් ලෙස මේ සිද්ධින් භාවිතා කිරීමට බලා පොරොත්තු වන්නෙමි.

අවුරුදු 45 අධික කාලයක්  තුල අලි ඇතුන්ට කරන විපත්ති ගැන පොත් 3ක් ඉංගිරිසියෙන් Amazon Books වල රචනා කර තිබෙනවා. එය ගැන සටහන් පමණක් තැබිය යුතුයි.

අදුර්ශමාන බලවේග ගැන මගේ මතය මද්‍යස්ථය. පියවි ඇසට නොපෙනෙන දෙයක්‌, ඇති බවට තහවුරු කරන්න හෝ එසේ නොකරන්න මම වෛද්‍ය වරයෙක් ලෙස මැදිහත් නොවන්නෙමි.

යකුන් සහ දෙවියන් සම්බන්දව බෞද්ධ මත වලට මම ගරු කරන්නෙමි.

හෙළ ඉතිහාසයේ එන යක්‍ෂ, නාග, දේව සහ මනුෂ්‍ය යන විවිධ ජාතින් පිළිගන්නා අතර අදුර්ශමාන ජීවින් නොමැති යන මතය තහවුරු කරන්න ආපසුය.

එනයින්, ජන වහරේන් එන බලි, තොවිල් සහ යාග බැහැර කිරීමට නොහැකිය. 

බොහෝ විස්වාස ඉන්දියානු හින්දු බක්තිකයන්ගෙන් ආදේශ වුවද, මෙතක් කල් එවැනි දේ ජනවහරේ පැවතීමට හේතුව සොයා බැලීම යුක්ති සහගතය.

වැඩි හරියක් බෞද්ධ භික්ෂුන් මෙවැනි දේ පිළිගන්නා අතර එවැනි ශාන්ති කර්මයන් කෙරෙහි නැබුරුවීම ගැන පසු විපරුමක් කිරීමට මම බලාපොරොත්තු වන්නෙමි.

උමන්දාවේ හිමියන් දෙස මා බලන්නේ වපර ඇසකින් නොවේ. ඉදිරියට සිදුවන සිදුවීම් වලින්, යම්කිසි අවභෝදයක් ලක්වාසි ජනතාවට ලැබෙනු ඇත. 

එතෙක් ඉවසන්න. 

හදිසි නිගමනයන්හි එළබ නොවන්න.

රටට සහ සියළුම ලාංකිකයන්ට යහපතක්‌ වන්නේ නම් එවැනි ක්‍රියාවලියන්ට ගැරහුම් නොකර සිටීම අගනේය.

මට ලොකු අවභෝදයක් නැති නමුත් අනිකුත් ආගම් වලත් මෙවැනි ශාන්තිකර්ම සිදුවන බව නම් සහතිකය.

බලංගොඩ කස්සප හිමි රෝහලෙන් එලියට ආවේ, නන්දන ගුණතිලකට උණු ඉරණමට පාත්‍ර වීමට ඉඩ තිබුණු නිසාය.

ඥානසාර හිමි අභිරහස් ලෙස රෝහලේදී හෝ හිර ගෙදරදී අපවත් කිරීමේ කෘමන්ත්‍රනයක් සැලසුම් කරන්නට ඉඩ තිබේ..

ශිරාල් ලකතිලක හොඳ නීතිඥයෙකි. ඔහුගේ සිංහල වචන යෙදීම අගනාය.

මම මගේ සිංහල භාවිතාය වැඩි දියුණු කර ගැනීමට උත්සාහ ගනිමි. 

ඉංගිරිසියෙන් උසස් අද්‍යාපනය ලැබ වෛද්‍ය වුර්තිය හැදැරු මට සමහර වචන තේරෙන්නෙ නැත.

ඥනසාර හිමි නමගේ අභිමානය කෙලෙසීම ගැන වියක්ත විග්‍රහයක්‌ ඔහු කර ඇත. එයට සවන් දෙන්න.

එනයින්, අනුර ඔහුගේ රාජකාරිය 

පක්ෂයට ලැදි බන්ධනාගාර නිලධාරීයෙකු හෝ ඇමතිවරයෙකුගේ මෝඩ ක්‍රියාවලියක් නිසා මොට කර ගෙන ඇත.

අනවශ්‍ය ඇන්දමට, පක්ෂයේ හිමි ජනප්‍රියභාවය නැවතත් 3% බැස්සවා ගෙන ඇත. 

සියයට 70% වන බෞද්ධ ජන කොටසට නැවත ආමන්ත්‍රය කරන්නට ඔහුට කිසිසේත් බැරි වනු ඇත.

වෙන අන්දමකින් කිවහොත් නියම අනාගැනීමකි.

කැලුම් ජයසුමනට පොඩි තල්ලුවක් දෙන්න ඕනෑය..

මෙම බෞද්ධ ජනකොටස මින් පසුව කිසිම පක්ෂයකට දීනා ගත නොහැකිය. කතෝලික පල්ලියටද මින් මතුවට දේශපාලන උප්පරවැට්ටි කළ නොහැකි වන ඇන්දමට, බෞද්ධයන් ගොනු කර ගැනීම කැලුම් ජයසුමන, අංජන උදාර සහ ඔවුන්ගේ මිතුරන්ගෙ වගකීම සහ වගවීමය.

නිකාය 4කට බෙදී ඇති මහනුන්ට එය කළ නොහැකිය. කොහොම නමුත් මහනුන්ට දේශපාලනය කිරීමට අයතිය තිබුනත් ඊට පෙර ඔඋන් සිව්ර ගලවලා පසෙක තබා දේශපාලන වගකීම ඉටුකොට පසුව, සිව්ර පෙරවා ගත යුතු කාලයක්‌ එළබ ඇත

අතීතයේ සංගුන් එම කාර්යය ඉටු කර ඇත.

සිව්රේ ගව්රවය රැකීමට ගිහි පැවිදි දෙපක්ෂයම අත් වැල් බැන්ද ගත යුතුයි.

සිව්ර ගලවා පාර්ලිමේන්තුවට පැමිණි ඇති NPP/JVP 51ක් දෙනාට එය කළ නොහැකිය.

දේශපාලන මෝඩ තරිඳු පොඩි පොඩි ගේමක් ගහන්න හදනවා. 

පොඩි නොන්ඩියක් දමන්න. 

ජේමිස් අයියා නොහොත් වියන්ගොඩ හිටපු නීතිපති සරත් නන්ද සිල්වාගේ නීති තර්කයන් කඩන්න මෝඩ ව්‍යායාමයක් දරනවා. ඔහු අනිද්දා පත්තරයට ලියුම් ලියන්නෙක්. 

Victor Ivan ගේ රාවය. ඉස්සර Communist පක්ෂයේ ඇත්ත පත්තරය තමයි දැන් අනිද්දා (Aniddha) පත්තරය වී ඇත්තේ.

මම දැන් රටින් බැහැරව ඉන්නේ.

දේශපාලනයෙන් බැහැරව මගේ English books රචනා කරමින් ඉන්නේ. 

තවමත් සිංහලෙන් පොතක් ලියන්න බැරි උනා. මා පාවිච්චි කරන Debian Linux වලින් සිංහලෙන් Type කරන්න අමාරුයි. 

ඇල්පිලි පාපිලි දමන්න අමාරුයි.

චාපා බණ්ඩාරට එය තනියම කරන්නට තරම් දේශපාලන සම්පත් නොමැති නිසා පොඩි තල්ලුවක් ඔහුටත් අවශ්‍යයි. 

ඇද හැලෙන දාරණීපාත වර්ෂාව නොතකා පා ගමනින් කොළොඹට පැමිණි බික්ෂු, බික්ෂුනී, ගැහැණු, පිරිමි බෞද්ධ සහ

අබෞධ ජන ගංගාවට මගේ බක්ති ප්‍රණාමය මෙයින් පිරි නැමේ. වඩාත් වැදගත් වන්නේ මොවුන්ගේ සංවර භාවයයි. පාර දෙපස රැස්වී සංග්‍රහ කිරීම සහ දිරි ගැන්වීම අගය කරන්නෙමි. 

දේශපාලන වාසි නොතකා මෙයට සහයෝගය දැක්වූ හැම දේශපාලන පක්ෂයකටම ස්තුතියි.

මෙහිදී පොලිසිය කටයුතු කරන දියාරු ප්‍රතිපත්තිය අවධාරනය කළ යුතුය. 

රටින් පිටව සිටින හිමියෙකුගේ නමකුත් පොලිස් ලැයිස්තුවේ තිබෙනවා.

උද්ගෝෂණයට සහභාගිවූ ගිහි සහ පැවිදි පිරිසක්, තහනම් නියෝගයකට යටත් කර අති අතර මෙවැනි නියෝග සදහා කරුණු ඉදිරිපත් කරන රජයේ නීතිඥයන් සහ පොලිස් නිලධාරීන් ගැන විමර්ශනයක්‌ කිරීම වටිනා කරුණුකි.

කෙසේ නමුත් ජනාධිපති ලේකම්  පොන්නයකු සේ කටයුතු කිරීම මේ රජයේ ආයුෂ කෙටි වන බවේ මූලික ලක්ෂණයකි.

මේ නිරාගමික රජය පෙරලා බෞද්ධයන්ට ලැදි රජයක් පිහිට වීමට ලහි ලහිව සූදානම් වීම, මේ යුගයේ අවශ්‍යතාවයකි. 

දැනට පාර්ලිමේන්තුවේ සිටින හීරලූවන් 51ක්‌ දෙනාගේ නම් ටික ගිහි සහ පැවිදි නම් වලින් ප්‍රසිද්ද කිරීම වැදගත් කාරණයක්‌ ලෙස සැලකිය යුතුයි.

මට‍ පේන කියන්න දන්නේ නැහැ.

නමුත් පා ගමනත් සමග ඇරබුන වර්ෂාව දිරටම පවතින්න ඉඩ තියෙනවා. ගංවතුරක්‌ ළඟදීම එන්නට ඉඩ තියෙනවා.

මම මෙය කියන්නේ අව්රුදු 20කට කාලයක් ලංකාවේ දේශගුණය ගැන හදාරා අති නිසා.

නිරාගමිකයන්ගේ ශාපය හොදා යන්න අනිවාර්යෙන්ම ගංවතුරක්‌ එන්නට ඉඩ තියෙනවා. ඒ අතර, චන්දදායකයා කළ පාපය ඔන්ට වෙන වෙනම ගෙවා දමන්න සිදුවනවා.

පන්සල් ටික බේරා ගන්න. 

ගංවතුරකට, ගෙවල් යට උනොත් බේරාගන්න ඉන්නේ ඔබේ ගමේ පන්සලේ හාමුදුරුවෝ. 

මේ මෝඩ ආණ්ඩුවෙන් ආධාර බලා පොරොත්තු වෙන්න එපා.

ඉන්දියානු උප්පරවැට්ටිය පරාජය කිරීම යුගයේ අවශ්‍යතාවයයි

වර්තමාන පිබිදුම, මගේ ඇසට පෙනෙන්නේ වෙනත් කෝණයකිනි. නැත්නම් වෙනත් කඩතුරාවකිනි.

බ්‍රිතාන්‍ය සුද්ධන් විසින් සිංහල සමගිය බිදීම සදහා යොදාගත්තේ දේශපාලන පක්ෂ ක්‍රමයයි. 

අන්තිමට එය ඉන්දියාවේ සහ LTTE එකේ අවශ්‍යතාවයට ජාතිවාදය දක්වා ඩික්ගැස්සී ඇත. 

LTTE ඒක ඉන්දියාවේ නිපැයුමකි. 

එය පැහැදිලිව තේරුම් ගත යුතුයි.

අනුරාධපුරයේ කිසිම වියාපෘතියකට ඉන්දියාව සම්බන්ද කරගත යුතු නැත. 

එය කල යුත්තේ බෞද්ධ උරුමයට අනුකුල්වය. ඉන්දියාවෙන් අසන්න උවමනාවක් නොමැත. ඉන්දියානු මුදල් නිසා LTTE උගුලට ඇසුනොවන්න වගබලා යුතුයි.

ජයරත්න පතිරාරචිචිගේ සෙල්ලිපි කියවීමට අනුව, බුදුන් වහන්සේගේ ශ්‍රී දේහය එහි තැන්පත් කර ඇත. එනයින් ගත් කල වටිනා මිනිමුතු තැන්පත් කරන්න ඇති ඉඩ කඩ අති මහත්ය.

අපේ පෞරානික වස්තු හොරකම් කිරීම අවුරුදු දහස් ගණනක සිට වන විපත්තියකි.

අනුර සහ LTTE එක යටතේ එය උපරිමයට වන බව ඔඋන් දැනටමත් සහතික කරමින් සිටී. සමහර භික්ෂුන් මෙයට සහයෝගය දෙන එක අනිවාර්යයි. 

දේශපාලන බිම වගුරු බිමක් කිරීමේ ඉන්දියානු උප්පරවැට්ටියට අහුවෙන්න එපා. අනුර දැන් බැහැල ඉන්නේ ඒක කරලා චුත වෙන්න.

අනුරාධපුර වියපෘතිය ඇස් බැන්ඳුමක්ය. 

එය මොට කල යුතුයි.

කැලුම් ජයසුමන, අංජන උදාර සහ කස්සප හිමිට තිබිය යුත්තේ බෞද්ධයන් දේශපාලන පක්ෂ බිමෙන් ගලවා ගැනීමේ මෙහෙයුමය. අනවශ්‍ය විදිහට, NPP/JVP වීති සංචාරයෙන් එය ඉටු වන්නේ නැත.

බුද්ධිමත්  සටනක් ආරම්භය පමණකි.

Bogambara Prison Complex

 

While I was attending to the fish tank, wife came and showed me a photograph of the garden created at the site of Bogambara Prison Complex.

This was built by the British, and I hated it from my school days and I voiced an opinion that it should be removed forthright (a prime land in the center of the City).

Nobody cared to remove it for over 65 years.

It was an eyesore.

I visited this place with the first opportunity I had.

One of my friends became the Prison doctor who had to certify the death of the prisoner (he hated the job within few months- he wanted to stay in Kandy) after execution.

If I remember right Somarama (not sure) and Maru Sira were executed there.

It was an appalling site to wonder around.

I told my wife just imagine the plight of the prisoner there waiting for execution.

Can a true Buddhist watch an execution?

Our current (probably future presidents,too) can do that without revulsion.

I will never visit this park and I do bypass this track if I have to visit the hospital.

It reminds me of the painful past at first site which no one can erase with rose buds on plant beds.

Nobody has the right to kill any living being.

It is bordering psychopathy.

Right for Life

Right for Life

Introduction is lengthy but latter part is spicy.

My philosophy is masterly inactivity as far as the mother nature is concerned.

Another idea that springs out of that philosophy is, every life form has the right to live its entire life cycle without hindrance.

Unlike in Buddhism I have extended it to the plant family taking a cue from Darwin.

So killing life (not plants) for food, I abhor.

This has nothing to do with religion and like human rights there should be animal rights not only for cats and dogs (what about chickens, almost flightless bird).

Now with the rain coming in and not enough sunlight shining down catastrophe was about to hit my guppy fish population.

I have had enough past experience.

I lost almost entire population of Green Swordtails.

My first interest is not fish keeping but looking after water plants which has extended to water lilies.

I keep fish to control mosquitoes.

That has given me lot of problems.

When they start dying, they die in large numbers, since they do not have a powerful immune response.

So, I decided to use the air compressor for two fish tanks (instead of one) using a T connector but that piece of Chinese T connector (unlike coming from the West) did not work even for a week and the fish start showing signs of ill health.

Sure enough they started dying.

I gave up fish keeping totally, except guppies.

Immediately removed the ill functioning T connector and used a spare air compressor to pump air to the second tank.

 

This Chinese made air compressor had two outlets but only one would work after six months.

Even the death of fish touches my heart (I go into overdrive).

That is the entry point for the spicy stuff.

While I was attending to the fish tank, wife came and showed me a photograph of the garden created at the site of Bogambara Prison Complex.

This was built by the British, and I hated it from my school days and I voiced an opinion that it should be removed forthright (a prime land in the center of the City).

Nobody cared to remove it for over 65 years.

It was an eyesore.

I visited this place with the first opportunity I had.

One of my friends became the Prison doctor who had to certify the death of the prisoner (he hated the job within few months- he wanted to stay in Kandy) after execution.

If I remember right Somarama (not sure) and Maru Sira were executed there.

It was an appalling site to wonder around.

I told my wife just imagine the plight of the prisoner there waiting for execution.

Can a true Buddhist watch an execution?

Our current (probably future presidents,too) can do that without revulsion.

Uranium U 238 and Indian Secret Ploy

This is to highlight that Ceylon was NOT highly radioactive 4.5 billion years ago for us, in Ceylon to have high deposits of lead in the center of our country.

However, we have rich veins of carbon or graphene or single layer of carbon atoms that is essential for nanotechnology.

We should not restrict our history to 125,000 years of human civilization. 

Indians are here to extract our RARE minerals, too.

 

This STUPID Anura guy sold us to Indians with RARE mineral Deposits and Graphene.

Indian Foreign Minister thinks that Ceylon is a Province of India.

LTTE diaspora is also involved in this SORDID Plot.

Vidyodaya and Vidyalankara Pirivena

For over 450 years from 1500 to 1950 we were under Portuguese, Norwegian and British Occupation.

 

They killed Buddhist monks and all citizen were made to be Catholic or Christian by default. But many kept to their original religion.

There were no Sanga or Sasana. 

Now this Ranil guy wanted celebrate invasion of Ceylon by Portuguese.

He has no idea of Buddhism.

He is now trying potray as a strong Buddhist for political reasons.

Do not TRUST him.

He is an ACE political crook who want Modi to take over Mihintale and Sigiriya for his Grand Maha Baratha Concept.

However, his political days are numbered.

 

Modi is crook worse than Ranil.

Read the recent YouTube presentation with Medhi the Iranian British YouTube guy.

Until Venerable Upali a Siamese or Thailand monks established Upadampada again, there were no monks in Ceylon.

Upali Thera from Thiland on the 20th July, 1753 visited Ceylon to establish Upadampada.

Waliwita Sri Saranankara invited the Siamese Upali Thera.

ජයරත්න පතිරාරච්චි මහතාගේ, දයාබර බිරිඳ වන රත්නායක මුදියන්සේලාගේ බණ්ඩාර මැණිකේ මැතිනිය ඔක්තෝම්බර් මස 20 වෙනි දින අප අතරින් වෙන්ව ගිය බව YouTube නාලිකාවේ වාර්තා වී ඇත. ඇය මාස 10ක් පමණ රෝගතුරව සිටි බව සදහන් වේ.

මෙය පතිරාඅරච්චි මහතාට, පිරවිය නොහැකි අඩුපාඩුවක් වුවද, අනාගතය එතුමා කරන සෙල්ලිපි පිලිබඳ හෙළිදරව් වලට බලපෑමක් නොවේවා, යන්න මගේ ප්‍රර්ථනාවයි. 

Linus Torvalds Facts

Linus Torvalds Facts

In the tech industry, his name comes alongside those of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
Those guys changed the face of technology forever.
You already know about the asteroid 9793 Torvalds, named after him.
But what else?
Let’s see:

• Linus Torvalds was born on December 28, 1969, in Helsinki, Finland, and is now 55 years old.
• He wrote 100% of the first version of Linux, which represents around 1% of the present-day code.
• He almost named his project “FreaX” instead of “Linux”… So now, instead of a combination of the words “free,” “freak,” and “Unix,” we are enjoying a combination of the Trovald’s given name and “Unix.”
• In 1999, MIT proclaimed him one of the top innovators under 35.
• In 2001, Steve Jobs offered Torvalds a job at Apple, but he refused.
• In 2019, his net worth is estimated at around $150 million, with an annual salary of $10 million.
• He has a soft spot for scuba surfing. He is the creator of a platform called Scubaserfice that can create a scuba diving planner for you.
• Linus Torvalds created the version control system Git in 2005.
• Among other things, he has undergone military training and is a Second Lieutenant. 
• He is awesome!
