Expensive Aircrafts Becoming Obsolete

Israelists must be in panic mode already.
Air superiority is a myth that Yemenis have shown to Americans.
Chinese and Pakistan aviators are redefining how battles could be planned in future.
All due to at four sensor systems.
Sensors now can detect a target in 12 seconds.
An aircrafy cannot be mounted in a hurry.
Plan
1. Moment a squadron of aircrafts are air borne.
2. Air crafts are mounted well away from the target range.
3. They are mounted at least in pairs.
One carry the middle.
The other the avionics.
4. Information is fed to the air borne middle battery well away from target acquisition.
5. Boom from 200 to 300 kilometers where aircrafts cannot visualize the offending aircrafts.
6. I think Chonrs have already armed Egypt.
7. What weapons Iran having we do not know.
8. American Hegemony is neutralized and that is why Americans are soft peddling now.
9. Oresnik is there only for am emergency, for example Kyiv.
11. America has lost all it's stockpiles of armour to Ukraine and this Zelensky guy used them like toothpaste.
12. Russia has lost equally devastating amount of it's stockpiles in 3 years.
But they have activated in war machinery.
13. For India and Pakistan it only 10 days to deplete the stockpiles.
14. It is not diplomacy that stoped the escalation but ground reality of properly assessed by their generals.
15. Yes politicians are stupid and army generals are not.
16. We have such a politicians heading our country who signs any paper even without reading them.
Hope we are not already trapped by India to use Mannar as Ammunition Depot.

Tuxedo OS and Pop OS

Tuxedo OS and Pop OS
I am finishing my book on "Linux Essentials" and there is hardly anything to right about both Pop OS and Tuxedo OS.
They have added nothing to the KDE desktop except their colour schemes.
 
It is all eye candy kids stuff they are doing.
No different to Microsoft guys. 
Even, If they offier me a free computer I won't waste my time.
 
There are million colour shades in computing and man can use only (see)  256 colours and from that also only 16 to 24 colours, the can name and distinguish.. 
I am colour blind guy (more dark blindness which improves over time) and it is getting worse with age.
I stop driving moment I realized I do not see some colours when speeding up in New Zealand in winter.
I could still play a snooker game having registered the balls in my mind at the beginning of the game. Even that skill have gone down.
I have not lost any of my keyboard or Linux tricks over time, simply because I do not waste time jabbering over YouTube but work on my keyboard effortlessly.
I hate Linux keyboard shortcuts but kill switch is in my fingers when it is most needed like Tuxedo OS freezing on me.
 
Most beuatiful KDE desktops are produved by ARCH Linux and I have two of them in my NUC.
BlueStar Linux and Reborn OS. 
Other two are Debian Gnome and MX Linux.
 
MX Linux has a special place in me due to its versatility and tool.
It has an attractive KDE desktop.
Storm OS, Catchy OS and Endeavour OS  have their own  unique featues.
Please do not waste time on KDE but on Linux tools.
KDE Neon and Neptune also are pretty good. 
For a change KDE neon has a repository.
It is welcome change for KDE lovers.

Evaluation of Election Results, The Closing Beat

These Niragamikayo do not see anything wrong when guys and girls in other religions brings cultural elements from foreign countries and plant them here destroy our own Temple Based Culture.
Temple is an antithesis to them.

Why?
There is a big plot.
India and CIA are on this plot.

Tamils are also hoodwinked. They are using a certain section of Tamils in their strategic plan.

In other words chatting Ordinary Tamils.

There are two important things even Kariyage does not highlight about JVP.

1. Number one is depriving the Youth of their Youth and stand on their own feet without a bizarre party proping them up.

As Champika says it is these timid guys in the first year who are proped up as student leaders and none become national leaders.

2. The second is the destruction of public property with callous disregard.

I was practical man was instrumental in getting rid of Sirima, N.M. and Peter Keinaman.
It started when I was an Intern and it matured within 6 years to oust Sirima.
 
Ist Episode
I was invincible in my work place and I did not behave like a rotten eggs which Labour Union guys are. 
I get activated at 9 P.M. when everybody is retiring to bed.
Plot is hatched over night, without breaking the law of the country and patients were very well looked after by a skeleton staff.

This is not agonist the poor patients but the rotten government.
 
2nd Episode in UK
When I entered UK, 60% of the Doctors were from overseas. The majority were from Ceylon.
We did not have a Union and I closely followed the Labour Union activity in Yorkshire and formed a primitive "Overseas Doctors Association" and got our U.M.T raised within six months.
Then there was a long drawn out action to get 1 in 3 rota.
I never got a 1 in 3 rota for 8 years and by that time I made a firm decision to return home due to many reasons.
British doctors were lazy and never did one in two rota at out time.
 
3nd Episode
Ousting Mahinda Rajapaksa
Plan was well executed and guys like Dulles Alahapperuma did not know from where we operated.
We even had a skeleton International Staff.
That is when he forgot the country and look after only the family and family members.
I do not mind party members left riding up beating the family.
 
4th Episode
In New Zealand
I was getting the salary for three and that actually was very reason for my downfall. They could not sack me but reorganized the structure. I stuck to my contract but the one who offered me the job lost his post without compensation.
New Zealand doctors were the laziest and under Labour Law they never worked beyond 40-44 hours but I did over 82 (almost double) on one week.
I threatened to take legal action unless they keep the contract I signed with them. 
Only think they could do was not to renew the contract.
Two weeks later I was back in Ceylon and of course, I did not want my wife to lose her job in Ceylon. She had taken only two years unpaid leave and she returned 8 weeks earlier in good time. If one loses a job in Ceylon it is very difficult to regain or recover.
That is the reality.

5. JRJ
I was lucky to be out of this country, for decade when he was in power.
I signed his last blood report and said I am signing a dead man's report and left Navaloka and when I reached Ragama by train, I saw the white flags coming up. I did not pay a visit to him and his final fee fays were supposed to be pathetic.
I was in Ceylon on holiday when his "Kalagedi Selllama" was on display.
Ever since, I hate this mechanism called referendum.
The distortion and ruin he brought to our simple one past the post system cannot be redeemed.

One crime of my life was voting for him once before leaving Ceylon.
It was not a "For Vote" but a " protest vote".
I voluntarily removed my name from the "Voter Register" for over 20 years and renewed it only to get the passport to leave Ceylon for good.

The above is to show I had an active service in Ceylon and Abroad.
 
Big Picture
Unlike in the West we cannot use statistics to analyze politics in Ceylon.
A 3% shift is enough to make a landslide in the West.
 
JVP/NPP rise was the biggest aberration to our politics, that is why I call it the "Flash In The Pan" and I did not believe it with sink within 7 months..
Simple logic, lies and promised that cannot be fulfilled.

Lies, damn lies and pseudo-statistics.

If Kumar David would have been alive he would made an accurate analysis. Unfortunately, he is gone and he had ample historical material.
 
I am no replacement at all.

Historical Base Lines in Ceylon
30% pseudo left
30% pseudo right 
40% uncommitted or floating vote.

My Wish
20% real left
20% real right
60% silent masses, that is when the system change is possible. 
In other words majority overtakes the politicians of the day.
This was slowly happening in Ceylon but these NPP guys ruined it. Politically, nationality and internationally they are immature and cannot take the mantle.
 
In other words kindergarten type.
Sorry for me being blunt and that is the reality.

So in another two years (time to sink in the current aberrant reality), we get another chance to revisit or recharge our politics.
Dump the old radical views.
 
People friendly not party friendly evolution should happen not automatically but by careful education.

Champika Ranawake has a role within the parliament or outside of it. 

Ravi Kumudesh has a place in education the  misguided masses.
 
Average citizen in my opinion is still stupid but nobody can openly say that which is a political suicide if a politician does it.

Citizen always think he or she is very smart once in 5 years.
That is the tragedy.
End result was a party which has done irreparable damage to our economy coming to power when econmy has hit the rock bottom.

"Dayiwopagatha Karmaya Pala Deema".
"Munta Dharmaya Thaerrenne Name".

That is why I say we should have elections every 3 years as in General Management.

1. One year to learn.
2. One year to act on the job.
3. Third year either to quit or plan to reenter or taste the rotten egg.

I can make these valid comments since I am fully retired doc who is not even living in Ceylon.
During my time I did my part withing available resources.

Hope a rising political star is born within the next decade.
I say, Dudley Senanayake Reborn.


1. NPP
4.5 millions
43.6%
3926 seats 

2. SJB
2.25 mullions
21.69%
1767 seats

3. SLPP
0.94
9.1%

4. UNP

5. PA

3.72%
Seats 300

SB
0.294
2.83%
Seats 226

Rest
25% mostly in the North.
377 seats


Summary 
Presidential Election
5.7 millions
42%

General Election
68 millions
61%

Provincial Council Elections 
2.3 millions less totaling about 2.1 millions
43.6% 
 
 One (1%) per cent increase which is statistically not significant.
With a massive campaign they could not muster 3% that Australian Labour party achieved.
 
Calculation based on 40% of 5.6 millions is roughly 2.2 millions.
There actual base is 3% and rest 37% has come from the "Floating Vote" or usually in Ceylon, it is the "Protest Vote" against the party in power.
The "Protest Vote" has not come, yet.
In fact, this protest vote guys prudently kept away from voting instead of voting for the opposition.
 
What it means is that are ready to give some limited space for these bone heads but stupid guys a chance.
 
This is for YouTube guys

"Uddachcha Kamai" "Ola Mottala Kamai Ekatu Unama" "Wenne Mokkada Machan"
"Jangiye Chu Unawane, Ne"

That is my closing beat to JVP/NPP suppoertes especially these "YouTube Guys".

Unlike Indian voters in Ceylon the voters are less emotional but mature.
 
They do not want upset the Apple Cart.
My guess-estimate is NPP/JVP will destroy themselves.
We just have to observe them patiently.
 
Their behaviour or "Thuga Damima" in public especially in the parliament is not going to work but destroy themselves.

Verdict 
Talk Only Show 
NATO 
No Action Talk Only Show

When the next round of election comes it will dip to 20% to 25% not enough to become even a powerful opposition just like SJB.

I am hopefully waiting for the emergence of TRULY Progressive Alliance (not a single party) of politically astute gathering from the SILENT Majority.
Sitting on the bench is not the way but Participatory Democracy is essential.
It is high time that this process becomes a realty since we are heading for the abyss.
Country before the party should be the slogan.
 
In any case NPP/JVP is just the " Flash on the Frying Pan".

Sorry for me being pessimistic.
I saw this in broad day light.

How Mahinda Rajapaksa squandered the golden opportunity by being self centered and working for his family and the goons.

I have long term experience with these guys from 1971 to 1989.
I have always against their arrogant, impulsive and destructive politics. They lack the natural and intuitive politics which is the need of the moment.
Me leaving the country (like many others) having done my part without "pomp and pagan" in my twilight years is the living testimony to how puerile our politics have been.

But my hats off to guys like Harsha De Silva who sacrifice his talent to politics in spite of so many odds. 
He sticking in the opposition itself needs lot of grit. 
I think Sajith should had over the baton to him and organize the party from grass root level not allowing the "Sutra Pincha" to eat into his base.
Ranil is another guy who is a political pest (should be in the political dustbin in India) who should be violently evicted from our body politics.
He is a Greedy Guy and Lacks Vision.
This one must say to his face to destroy him politically not physically.
I abhor physical violence which  was "his trade mark" and known to be utilized at Batalanda.
DO NOT HAVE any dealing with him.
He is using Anura to undermine Sajith.
 
If Sajith take a side step and take a welcome break and let others take the the baton ousting Anura is a "cake walk" in due course.
 
Break their back in two years.
 
Waiting for five years is STUPID.
I was one who stood up against JVP/DJVP when it was the necessity in 1971 and 1989.
 
These guys would ruin our economy and that is what Indians are wishing and waiting for.
 
Every minute in politics matters.
 
SLPP is waiting in the Wing and their Think Tanks are on overdrive and hard at work.

Do not give them a fighting chance to be second but let them be in third place which is realistic.
 
About Ranil;
"Panuwek Wage Ahaka Danna Oene Minihek"
 
I hope Harsh De Silva will not fall into his Traps and "his ill  gotten money".
 
Not money but "Wisdom and Vision" is the need of the day

He is even worse than to S.B.D. in political back stabbing.

"Devio Sakki" is politically invigorating and inspiring to the carder. Do not revisit the phrase but find new themes.

"Palu Gedara Walan  Bidinno = JVP Eka".
 
What it means is only seeing others faults but not something in one's own eye.
 
We have enough phrases in our vocabulary which I have forgotten in old age.

Equally I despise guys like Wijedasa Rajapaksa who were wheeler dealers and S.B.Dissanayake the "back standing guy".

Very soon, Dilip Jayaweera and Dammka Perera will add to the failing list.

I have already shown that NPP/ JVP is the only party in power who started losing its popularity within six months mainly due to the credible gap between it's promises and its performance capacity.

Furthermore, it has lost its base vote value to around 40% from 44% in the local elections, a 4% drop which is politically significant.

SJB had kept it's voter base at around 25%.

SLPP is maintaining it's base of 7.5% a drop of 2.5% from its 10% base.

However, is PA/SLFP is just ahead of UNP and keeping at 5% level. 
It did not contest last time round and I am unable to see any of its trends except Attanagalla and Gamphaha which is losing its grip to J.V.P. JVP gulped part of its voter base and unless it opposes this trend of JVP it will become and extinct political species

Then the SB which came in with a view of establishing as a new and modern parry, in spite of throwing money at will it could not keep it's 10% presidential election total, simply because it is not presenting an alternative policy that can revive this country. 
It is more of the same  JRJ "consumerism politics" or "open economy" without a workable program, nonetheless a theory ad nauseam
It looks like it is eating into UNP base of 5%.
The biggest loser is UNP which is now hovering around 2.5% well below SLPP.
 
I wish to propose these two elements (Ranil/Dilip) including Dhammika Perera who financed politics from KUNU Deals from UK (hospital refuse from the West imported to Ceylon and India)
 
The bottom line is rhetoric of NPP/JVP is fast losing  credibility in the political sphere and their ability govern and pull the country together.
They are good at counter arguments but not governing the country as a sovereign state. 
In other words timidity towards India and trying to reach far away country like Vietnam.
No brainier from the start.
Hiring a plane from Vietnem from its resources abroad is the culmination of their "bone or pigheadedness" whatever their explanation in defense.
 
If Sajith did such a thing these YouTube guys would have field day.

However, they are able to keep near 50% popularity in villages and suburbs that is why their nickname "Game Ranil" in "Jangi Aragalaya".

In my analysis NPP is just "Flash in the Pan" political movement which will settle down at somewhere around 25% level just like SJB in the long run which is a significant improvement from 3% carder level politics (which is 2% outside the statistically significant 5% outliers).

In any case, their recent shift from rhetoric and carder level politics to populism of the far right will not be good for their own survival but would be the gradual deterioration into "we also ran or we also governed in Ceylon" .
 
That would be the recorded in that way in political history. 
I am trying to be "Kumar David" a veteran Marxist Political Analyst.
 
He passed away, recently in California just like Nalin De Silva in America (?where I do not know).
 
In their own analysis and expressions they raised the bar high enough even their carder itself cannot rise up to when the occasion demands. 
 
That is the reality of local or grass root level politics.

Their exuberance (Thota Langa and Maligawa Episodes) and artificial self confidence that they can solve any problem in Ceylon are to their own ruin.

I am happy people have quickly understood their own predicament and how politics works and they will automatically lower their expectations and get on with their normal day to day life.

The System Change is eluding them by design.
It is a sad predicament.
 
Without money in the coffers and no way to improve productivity we will gradually fall into the abyss.
 
I would quit politics, right now but my Anti-Indian stance will be the end point, discussed below.

In the final analysis, JVP's bone headedness and having to learn while on the driving wheel would be a disaster for the entire country.
 
I think they never expected this type of victory and thankfully the general public has realized their premature aspirations would evaporate into thin air and have stamped a reasonable brake on their military type of administration.

If they realize that running a state is different from running a party that would be the beginning.

It does not look like they are ready learn and unfortunately that is their style and common sense does not prevail in their machinery.
 
I hope I am proven wrong.
 
It was a big distraction to my academic work and Linux promotion to 10% of the PC User Base.  
Yes, I am fast approaching that target.  
 
Reborn OS or Reborn ARCH Linux is my current interest.
 
In India Linux less than 3% simply because Indian cannot make money on Linux with "War on Muslims" looking eminent.
 
Only British United India and it will fracture again in no time.

Now why I am anti-Indian?
 
It is very simple with a few examples on medical grounds.
 
1. Never use Indian drugs for my patients when I was practising in Colombo, Negambo and Kandy.
 40% drugs are dud by the time they leave India.
a recent death of a guy due to faulty Indian vaccine.
There is NO Quality Protocol in India.
Mass production is their strategy,
 
2. We cleared this country from malaria in 1968.
We still import Malaria from India (frequent travelers) 
 
3. I did some work for Navaloka Hospital in "National Quality Management" before the turn of the century. The won the award.
Few years later I went there for  some basic investigations (VISA purposes). The unit I improved was handed over to an Indian Company (to save money on utilities) and it has now gone back to Indian level.
I went to another hospital for my tests.

4. The last one in revolting.
In Kandy, Kheels Supermarket (now managed by Indians) there is a Top Level special Chain of restaurants.
I go there for a our own Cinnamon Tea.
While waiting for the Tea to be made (it is an elaborate process) I ordered an fruit plate from the Indian Stall.
I examined all the fruits specially the Indian Apples.
There was a big maggot in the Apple.
I returned the fruit plate and I did not go there for nearly six months.
When I did go there again I used to take delicacies  from only the Italian Unit, that also only Pizza.

We had a big Guava tree and in our garden. 
All its fruits have maggots and I never tested any and left them for the squirrels that frequent out garden. 
They make drey in out roof.
I went back home for three months to sort few things including Water, Telephone and Electricity bills and one day the domestic aid came and plucked few of the Guava fruits. 
I warned her but she had a bite and there was a maggot. I told her cut it before eating and remove the maggot before.
I think these maggots have come from India and they are destroying our agriculture.
Now anything Indian is foreign to me even in Australia but I love there Wades.

Red Alert of Nuclear War and Victory Parade in Russia

Red Alert of Nuclear War and Victory Parade in Russia

I make a note about Ceylon. We failed to represent Ceylon and have somebody representing Ceylon in Russia in Victory Parade. If not for Russian army we would be speaking German today. This is what happens when guys who do not understand World History for that matter even our own Ceylonese History become bogus leaders.

The moment the Ukraine war is over the Military Industrial Complex of America with the help of Israelite started another war in Asia.

They have to empty the old War Cabinet which is filled with useless armaments but there is a big difference.

China come to the forefront in aid of Pakistan. They are testing their own weapon in active war against their major rival in the region, India. India has no allies except Israelites but only western weapons which they have to pay in dollars and franks.

India and China has had wars in the past.

I think 3 times.

Ceylon was a neutral country and no more after Anura.

Our stupid President Anura has signed unnamed and unlimited agreements with India and becoming partisan in wars we are not involved in.

On that ground alone he should be removed from the Post of Presidency within two years. 

Lest, he will invariably take Ceylon to total destruction.

I do not know what will happen to Modi but there seem to be an undercurrent to remove him by American War Machine.

Vice President Vance says America is not involved.

I do not believe him but who can believe Americans and their direct proxy Israelite.

President Trump is already trapped by guys ex.president (who was the biggest war monger) has left in the MIC.

His dream to win the Nobel Peace Prize for peace is already scuttled.

The whole world becomes poorer even before recovering from the Coronavirus Saga.

Moving to Russia after 3 years Ruusai has help its Victory Parade without much pomp. 

With nuclear arms and Oreshnik he is ready to face America and Germany.

 Idea is to draw Russia to Indian side.

I hope President Putin won't take the bait and dead rope.

I have no sympathy for India breaking into many pieces for all what they have done to Ceylon from Indira Gandhi to Modi.

It was Pakistanis who help us to defeat L.T.T.E. 

This Anura Guy does not know our own recent history and is backing India blindly.

He is a disgrace to Ceylonese non-aligned principles of the past.

It is difficult to be neutral and that what our Buddhist Outlook teaches us.

He is cardboard Buddhist by all means.

This month of Wesak we should practice non alliance and global peace.

U.N.O is a puppet organization and it cannot bring peace to this world.

I am always against war anywhere on this planet earth.

Nuclear catastrophe and total destruction of this planet is on the card.

Limited nuclear strike is the biggest mirage of all times.

 Mutually Assured Destrution is looming.

Madness of M.A.D.

I think the Victory Parade finished without an incident.

We do not see any "American Talks" to subdue, this mad drug addict Zelensky.

This is my postulation "on 3 day seize fire" instead of 30 days what Zelensky wanted.

1. President Trump knows at least 30 or may be 100 NATO officered from UK, France and Germany are trapped within Russian territory over at least 3 months.
The 30 day period was considered necessary to break the enclave which Russian generals were not stupid to accept.
Russian plan was to minimize any loss of ground troups.
Starve and deplete the NATO guys as what happened in Sivastapole (in where this conflict started in 2022) is their plan.
There was no hurry for Russians.
Americans are the ones who are impatient.

2. Trump was approached by UK for help.

3. His diplomacy did not yield any results.
There were no American boots on the ground but at least a dozen of Americans advisers are also trapped.

4. No negotiations or exchange of prisoners.

5. Ramazan Kadirov request for resignation is on hold. 
That means he is no longer necessary in Krusk. He said he need 6 months to mop up NATO. 
That six month has elapsed.
He wanted to kill them.

6. President Putin's plan was to catch them alive and show President Trump the videos.

7. These are all Biden's mistakes and Trump does not want to own the debacle.

8. Presdent Putin is as cool as a cat.

9. No hurry to round up trapped or enclaved NATO guys.

10. That is until the victory Parade is over.

11. These are all guess work but I followed Russian strategy for 3 years on the trot but not the last 6 months.

12. The plan is to reach Odessa and continue War of Attrition.
I can only Guess.
No SANE military will declare their objectives and only American were stupid.
They wanted to kill or eliminate Presdent Putin but Biden was evicted.

13. Nuclear War heads and Oreshnic are already well rehearsed for an emergency.

14. Now comes the Israelites.
Hard at work making stupid Modi engaged in war with Pakistan. 
Israelists are already in India and making plans to divert Russians to Asia.
Loss in Ukraine is hushed up.
They want MIC recharged in Asia.
What it achieved is getting China to test it's missles never tested in battle.
War in any form is strange and evolves into more bizarre tactics.

15. These are all postulations and I am not a military guy.

The Paddy Field, the ecosystem and the sick man

 Monday, June 29, 2015
The Paddy Field, the ecosystem and the sick man

The Paddy Field, the ecosystem and the sick man.
I never bothered to work out the ecosystem built around the paddy field.
My first impression is that they are vanishing fast due to wrong agricultural practice and use of uncensored variety of chemicals and fertilizers.
I used to release my excess load of guppy fish to the streams and paddy fields but have stopped doing that since, my gut feeling is that they would not survive.
Interestingly only water loving plant not in my water garden is paddy.
I dismiss paddy as a highly customized and manipulated plant for commercial use and has no value to nature except pollution and more pollution.
It is not a natural plant in a giant ecosystem.
I natural pant does not need any human intervention.

My neighbourhood is a good example of what is happenning to the paddy fields.

There was a stretch of paddy land between the road and the railway line.

Now there is line of newly built houses where most of the paddy fields were.

It an offence to fill up paddy fields and built houses according to the law but with
Chinthanaya holding its forte, every little law related to paddy cultivation was violated over the last 10 years.

In actual fact over the last 25 years.

If you neglect a paddy field it does not regenerate its ecosystem and blossom into a water garden with water lilies all over the place.

If there is no water it goes into a utterly useless wasteland.

One cannot make it to a proper and viable vegetable garden.

The in between land is worse, they become breeding ground for various mosquitoes not only dengue.

When we moved into our present location, the mosquito menace was immense.

We could not sleep without mosquito nets.

Then we went abroad for few years and when we returned, I made a resolve to make our current location 80% mosquito free.

I have listed them elsewhere from education to simple techniques (no need any repetition here) and we have achieved it.

Suffice is to say, the filling up of the paddy lands did help a lot but now we are left with dengue.

Dengue mosquitoes thrive on urban on semi-urban environment.

My bone of contention was and is even toady is that most of the mosquitoes breed in the cesspit.

Coming back to the paddy lands that are presently cultivated, there are only two left.

One looked after by a woman.

The other looked after by a man who worked in the university.
I was very friendly with him and he followed a somewhat scientific approach and the woman followed the traditional method.

The paddy land of the woman is above the paddy land of the man and it gets the water first but this clever guy always beats her and always cultivate paddy a few weeks before the woman.
This I have observed and was very careful not to raise my eyes and pose a question knowing there was subtle competition.
The other subtle point is the guy gets the benefit of the fertilizer seepage towards the latter half of the growth and it is almost free.

These are little things one has to observe but no detective work should be carried out.

Mind your business attitude.

This week I noticed she for the first time beat the guy up well and truly.

So I paused a bit and went into pensive mode.

I pretended to be observing the two king fishers on the power line.

There were two almost flightless birds (who nest on marshland left by uncultivated paddy lands) on the paddy field that has being prepared.

I came home and decided list the animals.

The fish (hardly any), crabs, king fisher trail was obvious.
Water snakes, frogs, toads and insects were in the other trail.
Mind you all the toads and frogs visit my fish tanks not civets.
I do not interfere.
This is something I missed in my little piece.
My contribution to the ecosystem.
But then I remembered this guy telling me that there are little mice that damage the plant when young and also when the seeding begins.

The fact, I did not know that this was the mouse or the
rat that spread leptospirosis.

I did not see him for few weeks.

Is he down with leptospirosis?

Is he having kidney ailment?
Those were the questions that spontaneously ran through my mind. 
 
He was OK and I met him in the city of Kandy tow years later.
The land was sold to anther guy and he did not re-knew his lease.
 
It has become a waste land now.
Land ownership and "Ande" still works in Ceylon.

DoKuWiKi and WikiSpaces

Posted on August 11, 2011

DoKuWiKi and WikiSpaces

It is time for me to expand the horizon of "Words World" and go deeper into the program world where work is done almost on
Unicode.
Let me be fair to the Linux Community and illustrating DoKu WiKi in no way undermine the efforts of professional programmers.
 

1. Vi is my number one.

2. Gedit is the one I used when editing files in Redhat 8.

3. Bluefish

4. Cream

5. Quanta and many more which I have forgotten the names.
 

Rest are; 

6. Notepadqq

7. Vim

8. GNU nano

9. Eclipes

10. Geany

11. Kate

12. Gvim

13. Emacs

14. Leafpad

15. Atom

16. Cuda Text (new Nvidia based0

17. JED. 

18. Gnome text

19. NetBeans 

20. Brackets

21. UltraEdit

22.  IntelliJIdea

23. CodeBlocks

24. LightTable

25. KomodoEdit

26. Visual Studio

I was abroad when early changes in computing (Commodore, Atari, Sinclair, BBC Basic) were taking place and when windows came I wanted to buy (last item in my shopping list with little money in my pocket and my wife having a hawk eye view, that I would put my last dollar on a worthless junk machine-very expensive then), a computer and going around the few shops in the high street selling computers (price over 2500 dollars) the salesmen were ever willing to show me the tit bits and sell.
 

After the demonstrations I asked the guys what program language I can type on this machine they were speechless (this little guy from Asia talking like a programmer) and told them I would not spare my money on a machine which I cannot write at least 100 lines of code for fun and promptly exited saving my money making my wife very happy.
 

The rest was history till I got into Linux where from Python to Ruby to C to C++ were there but very rarely explored them since my medical duties tax my time to the hilt.
 

While me doing night duties and you programmers were doing wonderful work with mid night commander and burning mid night oil.
 

So thank you guys and girls.
 

I am in no way excluding your efforts but this is to expose the newbies to the real world of computing and using DoKuWiki is only an introduction.

DoKu WiKi I downloaded was only
2.7 MiB and AbiWord is 7.9 MiB and it does my word processing. 

It has tahs for Apache, DTHML, html, PHP and SQL.

I typed one line and saved it in UniCode (
Graphic front end and code in the background) and opened it in Abiword and saved the line in abi.
You have two utilities using under 11 MiB which are super fast and minimal Macros, why you go for a Gorilla which you cannot handle when you are a newbie?
This is why I always say “
Small is beautiful and bigger is never the best


DokuWiki is an open source wiki application licensed under GPLv2 and written in the PHP programming language. It works on plain text files and thus does not need a database.
 

Wikispaces allows individuals and organizations to create webpages that multiple people can collaboratively edit. Anyone can create a Wikispace free of charge, with additional paid options available for more features. Wikispaces is commonly used by organizations, companies, individuals and educators

Now few words about Wikispaces.
It gives you 2 MiB of storage free which you can share documents with your class mates and teachers.
I have already opened a space for my students in the university and another for K-12 class, even though I use Google and WordPress almost exclusively for my blog activity.
 

WordPress is of course professional class and the best I have used.
 

I will cut and paste few of the comments at their site for you to read.

“You guys have great customer and technical support–about the best I’ve experienced since the Internet began in fact.”

“I am a HUGE fan of Wikispaces for its ease of use and its endless options for collaborative projects and have been encouraging all my teachers to create a wiki for their class.”

“Thanks for making it so simple for my fellow classmates and I to connect. We’ve got a 20 year reunion coming up, and there’s no better, easier, and fun way than through wikispaces. I truly appreciate your efforts!”

“I had 80 kids register for Wikispaces today in class. Almost all of them said they were going home to make another one for personal use. Great tool, keep making it better.”

“Let me say how impressed I am with your service. It always amazes me that such an organization still has that personal touch.”

Thanks guys and girls for your comments which I have reproduced here

Administration of Elive can be managed via its custom application called ‘Elpanel’, which was developed especially for Elive.
 

New packages and updates can be managed via Synaptic Package Manager and the text based APT tool.

Elive was under development between 2005 and 2010, when the project has been dropped.
The first two versions of Elive 0.1 and 0.2 were based on Knoppix.
 

The 3rd one was changed to Morphix as its base system.
 

Starting from Elive 0.4, the system has been moved to Debian.
 

The last stable version of Elive 2.0 was released in March 2010.

After 3 years of break, the developers started the project again.

Lack of Web Etiquette in Politics

 Posted on June 24, 2011
Web Etiquette
Finding a suitable webbing name for blogging and browsing'

I searched over 100 web pages to find my web entry (accidental) on a blog site and what I discovered was something I should write here and is important for several reasons.

It is remarkable that several tendencies of the SMS age is evident.
 
1. Most of them were blogging for fun and only a very few for humor or satire.
The world without humor for me is not worth living and boring.
I like the subtle humour as opposed to crude humor where one has to tickle one’s arm pit to initiate the process, almost self induced.
 
Humor has to be infectious and spontaneous.
 
The modern age of computing it it is noteworthy of its lack.
The worst of satire in Linux terms is
flamming which I am opposed to.
I was brought up in a age of discussion and discrete disagreement and not infighting but that is what one sees today.
 
2. Second observation I notice was one does not know how to use a pseudonym or what editors call the screen or newspaper adopted name for acting and freelance writing.
 
The problem with this is that one wants to search for self to see how one fares in the Wild Web as opposed to Wild West of yesteryear is that the pseudonym does not appear when Googling and often to the disappointment to many.
That is the topic here but I should state one more of my observations before getting into that topic.
 
3. Most of the young ones start blogging after some personal grieve (not death) and disappointment.
Often break up of love affairs. I often think breakups are good for many to learn real life situation before getting into serious commitments which most of them are not yet ready.
It should be of positive dynamics rather than negative so to speak.
So blogging is not a bad thing to pass over the tide but I found a serious impediment there.
It is like this if one is attending a a diabetic clinic for the young and fall in love with another diabetic, in no way I am  encourage that.
Two bad genes and you (the two) end up with many diabetic children as parents.
Getting to know another diabetic is a good for one’s soul to learn to cope with but not to get married,
for heaven sake.
My observation confirms that there was unhealthy pairing.
 
Two emotionally labile getting together lead to disaster
 
Falling from ditch to a very deep pit which is worse than two diabetics getting together where on can treat the other with insulin jabs.
This is sure recipe for more disappointments and even suicide.
At that stage what you need is a sympathetic friend (not a lover) and a very good counselor with adult stature.

Coining a suitable pseudonym has to be done with care.
It is often trial and error.
I will come out with a story.
I went abroad for a short holiday and the idea was to buy a laptop without an operating system and to boot it at the airport with a Linux CD while waiting for the plane before the check in call.
I actually did that.
When I went to several places knowing that I was foreigner they wanted to sell me (more profit) always with an operating system
 
Eventually it ends up almost with a fight but I did not cave in.
 
For my liking at last I found a very nice charming salesgirl who quoted me  a very reasonable price without an operating system (boss did not want it that way).
I had to show the boss guy I was not a stupid foreigner and pulled out a Puppy Linux from my front shirt pocket and booted up and in with the internet and typed Linux and my Christian name.
Presto!

There were 20 of my entries including
Gonbas, Gembas and Gambas in Linux.
My friend who was residing in that country too was amazed and he was a computer guy.
He helped me to go to the correct warehouse of course.

Without much a do we closed the deal.
 
Irony was the word Linux
It is very little used in the Web and my Christian name was very, very common.
It was all fortuitous but worked for me.
If one has a common name like
Sara or David one can still work with it without adding numerical.

I change paradox to parafox and it is the name I use here.

Then I start using not prefix or suffix like in English.
Tailing words combined.
1. Saralive or seralive or sierralove
2. Davidknock, Davidcook or Davidcock and the vagary is almost limitless.
The word is not a English, Name or a English Word and it will hit the top of Google engine in no time.

For French it is very easy.
Just combine se, le, la to make one word.
 
Presto!
 
Only nearest word that came near my parafox was in fact French.
 
I use fox to fox the foxes live, like the Channel 4.

I hope you got the onions and foxes right by now.
Hope, Yep, you rise to the top in the web of
antonyms

Neon User KDE

 Neon User KDE

Neon User is a latest KDE based distribution.

It is clen and neat but since it is KDE, I won't installit.

I only use Gnome based distributions or KDE based but using other tools i can install Gnome desktop.

Good example is MX Linux which I have installed which has both desktops and many more.

 KDE neon is a Ubuntu-based Linux distribution and live DVD featuring the latest KDE Plasma desktop and other KDE community software. 
Besides the installable DVD image, the project provides a rapidly-evolving software repository with all the latest KDE software. Two editions of the product are available - a "User" edition, designed for those interested in checking out the latest KDE software as it gets released, and a "Developer's" edition, created as a platform for testing cutting-edge KDE applications.

Conspiracy Within the Cultural Vacuum

 For me Ceylon has wonderful memories outside politics and even site by the side of a water fall is unique and serene. 

Divisive politics of India, RAW and L.T.T.E took all that serenity and Anura also has become a pest for our Buddhist culture and polity with their imported doctrine even Karl Marx himself never fathomed.

I was a real Labour guy in Ceylon and UK.

Current Labour promoting War in Ukraine is to say the least, is bizarre adventure in politics of United kingdom.

He is the most unpopular PM of UK perhaps worse than Aruni of Ceylon.

Conspiracy Within the Cultural Vacuum

Since I do not intend to write any political piece here in this blog site about Ceylon and also I do not intend to return to Ceylon even for a holiday, I need to make a Final but Critical Comment about the unlawful "Aragalaya" in the name of System Change.


End results were;

1. Hijacking Culture based on Buddhism and using all the means to belittle innocent Buddhist devotees.
 
I think 15% are misguided or educated outside of Ceylon. 
Mostly these YouTube guys and money money pored by India and USA.
 
China is in between and they do not have a political base but economic interest of building a belt of economic slavery.

Therefore are still 55% of the Buddhist who are not taken for a ride and I think we can mobilize them to stop a fulls-stop to cultural vandalism.

Creating a Cultural Vacuum and Sepala, Sudath, Bryno and many more behind the scene guys whom I cannot identify.
 
Many Shadows behind the political screen which Ranil is financing.
 
Ranil has a plan but it is not working according to his plan.
He muddy the political water using Indian Media.
 
Darshana Hapangama tried to get words out of his mouth but failed.
 
Bone Headed Politician who still believe his plan will work but would come to power by another Kumantranaya or Conspiracy 
 
Name "Sutra Pincha" befits him.
 
I think he was behind the master plan of Aragalaya

 
2. Creating Anarchy and it has already happened.

3. Paid the way for now politically immature, structurally unprepared and inherently unruly clan to come into power. 
 
In other words against the very rule of the country.
1. Lawyers
2. Doctors
3. Priests
4. So a called non aligned to political parties 
5. Political activists
6. TV/YouTube guys
7. Innocent masses
 
In  my analysis, they do not deserve to come into power.
3% base and expanded to 44% by artificial means.
 
In other words "Political Shock" they themselves could not digest.
 
Good example is Haruni Amarasooriya, just an imposter imported at the correct time.
In my current analysis a character made of Political Plaster of Paris.(PPP) which will crumble the moment the desired objective was.
PPP has another mean.
 
Partiyata Passa dena Purushayo.
 
Arxx hole politicians.
 
Sirimavo was one of the worst PM of Ceylon by many a mile but this woman is the worst in that capacity.
 
I am amazed why she is not resigning.
 
My present analysis is different.
I am not writing for JVP guys who want her replaced. 
I think the core JVP guys write the pieces themselves and get her to vomit them so that they can undermine her on a later occasion.
 
Politics is fluid and it is changing at a rapid rate.
 
At the moment she has gone out of control of the JVP political wing.
 
Similar to Dinesh Gunawardene. even Mahinda Rajapaksa could not remove him.
This post still has fringe benefits without political responsibility to be transparent and accountable.
Once given the guy or girl this post they get glued to the post.
An inevitable result.
 
The plan of JVP hierarchy probably would have been to put a guy who can be controlled by Tilvin or the Political Core.
 
Nobody understands how it works.
 
Like "quick sand" the political motions change with a drop of a hat.
 
They are already in a huge crisis.
a) Receiving a thumping majority which they did not expect.
b) Rejection of the action policy within 6 months.
c) Plan was to hoodwink the Buddhist majority and Change the Constitution that is the CIA plan.
 
Change the special status for Buddhism allowing equal status for other religions.
The cardinal wants to remove that special status.
Guys cannot find a proper replacement for the one who exited to heaven.
One step from Vatican above is heaven.
My question is why these guys clamor for this post.
It is not the glamour but money that goes with it.

Follow Chapa Bandara.

In other words JVP wants the PM to be  "a puppet on a string".

I am at a loss to read JVP thinking of the top political figures except they are ready to lie one lie after another.
 
Epitome of a lie machine.
 
In Dhammaoda it is said that a person who lies can take part in any crime and say he or she did not execute or plan a blue murder.

Debacle in the Local Poll was due to citizenry realizing their plight and understanding the underlying current.

Destroy the Buddhist Outlook.
 
Middle Way or the Middle Path of Buddhism avoiding extremes is the underlying theme in Dhamma.

1. JRJ is in one pole of the extreme.

2. NPP/JVP is the other extreme.
 
India using these extremes to their advantage with the behest of the CIA and American interests.

Chapa Bandara put this better and bluntly.

3. Now in my analysis every step India takes I am suspicious.
 
Currently my interest is substandard Indian Drugs.

Substandard of chemicals that are used in biotechnology say for example primers in genomics.

The bottom line is to destroy cultural heritage.
 
That this Raj Somadeva guy who is bringing Indian Mythology to TV screen is also in this plan.
 
Destroy Buddhism/ Dhamma with that the Culture.
In Peradeniya terms "Coltoor guy".
 
A culture vulture is the meaning of "Coltoor" .

This was applied to high table guys who used fork and spoon and high table according to English Culutre.
 
I was part of this culture in UK and could not pick an "Ambha Ataya" and eat which I used to do as a kid within two years.
Mango Friends and "Ambha Yahaluwo" of T.B. Ilangarantne of Galagedera of Kandy.
 
I spent two years in Wauda near Galagedera on doctors advice to avoid extreme cold weather in Kandy.
But it was not due to cold weather but due an allergy to Budgerigar birds and their droppings.
 
Moment the bird cage was removed I got better.

Be mindful in this month of Wesak.
 
There are a lot of misguided but paid Buddhist monks including TNL, ex-CJ and Baudhya Channel.
 
Do not get caught to there political scheme.
 
Mahinda Rajapaksa was the one who used politics to the zenith and his demise to the nadir was automatic.

Start with despising political lies by Anura, Ranil and Sajith.
 
Value life all live beings.
 
Become a vegetarian at least 4 days a month or Satara Poya.
 
There are 26 days left for other excess including dirty politics.
 
Have Dhammapada in every home.

Revive Buddhist Renaissance.

Use Dhammaoda as a tool.
 
Avoid Amisa Pooja of Anura.

Become a genuine guy or girl of Prathipaththi Pooja.
 
Be on the Dhamma Track.
 
Never waver in spite of TV and YouTube onslaught.
 
I think the master plan of destroying Buddhism of Ranil/ Modi Plan itself should be a catalyst for Dhamma Revival.
 
Defeat the Niragamika Theme.
Be a practising Bhuddhist.
