14. Life
Life is a series
Of steps / stages,
Each step is different
From its predecessor
Every stumbling block
That comes across
Should be made into
A stepping stone
That lays the foundation
For more difficult
And enduring
Steps to follow
But,
The steps
That preceded are gone
For good
The step to be taken
Has not yet come
Hence,
What matter most,
Is the step
In motion
That focuses
The mind
To be still for
A moment
Of its vagary
And deception

13. Elementary Logic
13. Elementary Logic
This is something I posted on why Facebook is rich, doing almost nothing except connectivity.
It is very simple and elementary my dear.
People who sweat a lot at work and home (like my dad and mum) are always poor.
But people who dish out advices (psychologists) and do sweet nothing (politicians too) are rich by default.
The people who invest others money like bankers and speculators (get off free plundering others money) are always richer than anybody else.
Facebook is no different, just connect people to cheat each other.
I am one who is promoting Linux and Free Software is left to lament like you!
This is what we called the 21st century, sadly cheating is the way forward for many.

11. How to forward a dead man's (women excluded) email
11. How to forward a dead man's (women excluded) email
Internet is a bustling with activity and it has spawned new avenues for recreation.
I have been specially appointed from both Apaya and Devlova (Heaven) to coordinate activities and I have been asked to formulate a formula to prevent Apaya MySQL Web Server getting jammed.
As an initial remedy I have instructed them to have new server for Sri-Lanakns but Apaya does not want to vandalize limited resources on Sri-lanka and that is why they need a special formula.
Since I am in regular contact with Sackra's assistant which I have from the time of registration of Hela Urumaya as a political party (that appointment was to give a resume of all Hela Urumaya voters who gets a call of nature through Devaleys before their demise).
Sacra himself handles the party stalwarts and he does not believe their own well cooked up resumes leave alone any comments that I have made about them in web publications.
Unlike Apaya. They have enough memory in all the servers with my good offices I have made an arrangement to provide a server on IMF loan facility to Hell which can be paid back while in hell to Apaya accounts.
You may wonder how I got the appointment.
On merit and that is due to my intense interest in Linux and the number of publication in the web by any Sri-Lankan.
They have just typed asoka and linux and lately asokaplus and got hold of my web counting.
Then they have looked at the impact it made in Sri-Lanka which was almost zero and connected me wirelessly to ask why this discrepancy.
I promptly said I publish only in English to which they said why don't you make an attempt to improve English. I said Sir I am doing it right now by writing and that is the reason for me posting in the web.
They were quite happy with my answers but said your extensions will be based on your daily writings and that is why I have to post at least one a day at wordpress.
When I was at writeclique it was once in three days and at Google once in 2 to 3 days and now once a day like a poor National News Paper Editors.
I am told by the Web Administrator of the Apaya (Hell in English) a new super powered Server to handle the demand for Sri-Lankans was installed this year (immigrants specially from Colombo 7, Hela Urumaya type who sell electricity for an exorbitant price -they have a special sub-system for Hela Urumaya).
Nobody can contact the President and the Head of Apayas since he is 24 hour on call and cannot sleep.
He was elected recently unanimously without a contest and he can go for re-election at lib.
His crime was sleeping while on call duty at President's Office and giving false promises to the visitors and giving false statements to a judicial inquiry (perjury not punished here).
You may wonder what is the difference between becoming head of Apaya or Devlova.
Sackra has four hours of sleep and he can delegate some of activities to the assistant and the assistant can delegate it to me. It looks as if one becomes a President of this country he can easily take up a position in Apaya since there are no delegated activities now in Apaya and super-computers have taken over mankind (beingskind- a new word coined by me for Apaya use) there.
My duty is ease to forward dead man's emails either to Apaya or Devlova or safe house in between for scrutiny.
By doing that all email holding companies will benefit by releasing their precious space for new comers.
I am currently doing the test run on the formula I have developed on Senior Ministers' profiles (I am due bound not to disclose test runs to the person while they are alive) on my computer and it got stuck due to overload and may have to update the RAM and speed.
Unfortunately I am not paid any allowances even though I requested 10% on testing and another 50% on running.
If you have any suggestion please forward it to me without any delay so that I can include them on the revised version.
I have decided not to make the formula public since the Central Bank of Ceylon (Now SIRI LANKA) and IMF would get bright ideas to change roles and divest their energies in Apaya Investment Limited (newly formed company by me).
Mind you there is a vacancy for-How to forward a dead woman's email post- any man or woman can apply bypassing me.
Details are at Apaya Investment Limited website, if it is in operation without any untoward attack by Sri-Lankan Government.
Mind you I did not tell the Apaya Web Admin that there is cloud computing on the offing thinking that they might reserve space on cloud farms for future use and we might not have anything left for poor souls like me.

9.We are all at Sea when Clouding
Even though I am very supportive of Cloud Computing as a concept and also would not like to be negative in response at least in the early stages of implementation, I have at least 3 reservations.
It is time for me to pen them now since necessary precautions can be implemented from the very beginning of its general use.
Number one is as regard to children.
With a Google Chrome OS children are given license to browse the internet without supervision or safeguards.
This is the same reservation I raised with Linux for Kids live CDs.
These educational Live Linux CDs let one browse the internet without any record or a trace of the places browsed in the internet.
If that is not bad enough the children lose their identity or the identity may be hijacked and children could be lured using word like play and fun.
Somebody else (not the adults intended) may use netbook (child) under the pretext of the owner.
The data that is stored outside of the personal computer even though encrypted can be used for commercial activities and government can access them under the pretext of security and one loses the privacy.
These three points alone should be deterrents for children to have netbooks without parental and or teacher control.
When we design Cloud Computer Atmosphere that should be within intranet not widely link to the internet as primary precaution in school environment.

8. Small is beautiful
This country is going through what I called the Mega Mania Memorabilia Syndrome or the 3 M Syndrome.
It reminds me of a famous American company who markets little medical equipment and utilities including steristrips and steritapes (sterile material that could be taken from a pack and use directly (wrapped cleanly) without any fear of contamination) which I used to bring from abroad and introduce them here some years back.
One cannot find them, even in a good pharmacy in this country now.
In actual fact one cannot find a sterilized dab (swab) of cotton wool leave alone a sanitary towel (sterilization can be easily accomplished by UV light) for females for a reasonable price.
This company in addition to doing small things right produce an array of stethoscopes for doctors.
I should remind you doctors are minority in any country but doing small things right this company makes healthy profit year round.
We can presently do the proper sterilization only in a major hospital and send the packs to the periphery in unhygienic condition and by the time it reaches the user it probably needs re-sterilization.
Come this country we cannot find any good product (except coconut coir) with coconuts or rubber (it used to be Ceyesta, the combination of coconut coir and rubber that was almost number one in the world) but - fiesta should be its revival name for researching back to the roots of our inventions in the past.
We seem to be not doing small; things right.
When we fell a tree 4 trees should be planted to take its place.
What we do is we fell 10,000 trees a day and plant one tree a day on a tree planting day and never look after the sapling till next important birthday to come and clean the same pot hole and replant another.
This is country known for looking after a Bo Tree for over 2500 years ( in the last 100 years by putting milk on a Poya day we destroy the roots of that Bo Tree very well looked after for 2500 years) and cannot care for a sapling for one year and that is also left to school children on a particular day not on a daily basis like when we were kids.
We used to grow with the trees and that metaphor was with us in our entire life that is why I am still a naturalist and an environmentalist to the bone marrow of my thinking.
It is not like that in our children and politicians.
They are good at rhetoric!
I can go on and on but suffice is to say we have to do small things right before we think of Mega Mania.
We must stop becoming 3 Ms but look at how the 3M company come to stay and remain there, ever since.
It may be one's spouse or head master or the all powerful boss at work place but the companion /worker/cohort should shed his or her fear of the boss and do little thing to make the others life happy.
Equally the all powerful boss should stop dishing out rhetoric and do at least little thing to make one's subordinate happy.
This is what we call in business management keep one's internal customers happy, then the external customers get a good deal for money.
This is a country where in the private sector did not increase the minimum wage for over a decade under the pretext of on going war.
We talk of sympathy and empathy but it is all bunkum!

7. Why I do not use a cell phone?
7. Why I do not use a cell phone
I have more than 100 reasons why I do not have or use a cell phone.
I will list them as they come to my mind but not in any order of priority,
As an intern I hated a call since it meant, a batch of new arrival of small kids have arrived in absolutely appalling condition.
Some of them fitting due to low blood sugar nearing zero.
In fact I had 8 to 10 kids whose blood sugar and CSF sugar zero (exactly 40 years ago).
The government at that time told the public it was encephalitis and I proved them wrong without even my medical registration completed.
Then when 6 months later when I went to collect my own data they had disappeared mysteriously from, medical records.
Then what I did subsequently, I have to pen down in a latter date of my life nearing my death.
One thing was sure leave the Public Sector Health Service and I was glad I did that and if you read Dengue Dilemma elsewhere in my writings and one can easily guess it.
It has deteriorated in quality even though it expanded in number.
As a doctor I hated bad news on telephone.
We rarely hear good news when on duty.
Later in life when cell phone came, I believed in CPP (Calling Party Pays) and flatly refused a cell phone
It is a public nuisance!
It is a nuisance when the cell phone owner has switched it off when you really needed him/her.
When you travel on a public transport one cannot have a snooze to drown the inconvenience with frequent interruption.
I love silence in public places.
Even though I don't use it I have to foot the bill (kids telephone bills).
No work get done in public offices.
They are busy answering their private call of nature and it is more frequent than real call of nature.
I think it is enough for today but I will add more on future date when I run short of a topic to write.
