What if one loses a Pendrive or a U.S.B Hard Disk?

 Friday, April 29, 2011

What if one loses a Pendrive or a U.S.B Hard Disk?

Nothing much you can do about it if you are a Microsoft user.
 

If you are paranoid and buy some expensive stuff with password protection and or use encryption before saving, you can say, alright I lost it but there is no use for the petty thief.

In a world where everybody is getting very selfish and living in self contained compartments, if you accidentally lose one, the one who finds the gadget may not go all out to find the owner.

Best way to protect your data is to not to carry in a portable medium.

Cloud Linux and saving in a cloud is a good option and that is why I used to support it very enthusiastically but even there, there are some major problems when a hacker attacks a servers or a server farm.

So there is no full proof method to save data.

Other option is to be somebody like me who make life principles very simple and have very little substance to hide or boast about except my Linux Images stored all over the place.

If I lose them no problem the Linux tracker will have almost all my Images except the very old ones and it is a matter of sitting down and painfully downloading them again on a portal which is painfully slow in the 3rd world.

When I come to think about it it is time for people with common interests to get together and to  Form Citizens Bureaus and possess servers of their own and maintain them on a voluntary basis with trust as the bond and the friendship as the driving force.

This is a wishful thinking of the futuristic world, "I am dreaming of" but I may not live long enough to see that eventuality.

It is in fact,  a force in need.

Everybody getting paranoid and everybody has something to hide or use the knowledge he or she possesses for capital gain in this present world of greed and profit 

But no common decency.

WiKiLeaks was something that had to emerge and I only saw the good side of WiKiLeaks.

We saw the panic side of it.

Bad Americans diplomacy and duplicity.

We see a similar round of duplicity when BunKi Moon decides to make his own world of wisdom, just to make sure his job is secure for another two years but throw the U.N.O. credentials and caution to the wind.

Transparency is only a word but not a practice proclaimed at high level.

We cannot expect it to get better or established at grass root level.

In this this context looking after ones data is one's own prerogative.

If for common decency if one wants to save your family photos and a paltry sum of money from a hacker at large, I have a solution for you.

Go Linux.

You can have a Linux distribution in a Pendrive or in your USB hard disk with boot time protection with password.

One can save one's common decency.

I have not tested this as a possible scenario in my live CD/DVD encounter and in future this is something I am going to promote or test as a virtue of Linux.

So I expect the Linux developers to think seriously about it including UNetBooIn.

Even Knoppix has now introduced root password facility not as a default but one can enforce it after installing it in a hard disk. 

That is a good thing that is emerging for simple guys like us who sometime has to make political statement of some sort in a country where democracy is owned by a single party.

One race or one religion or one government is enforcing scrutiny on dissenters.

If these political guys or police get hold of a tiny statement in a Pendrive or a hard disk as evidence, is it violation of privacy or arbitrary use of force?

If the prosecution produce the data in a court of law there is no defense.

This is where even Polippix and Incognito have a place when police states emerge in the pretext of law and order and disciplined society where simple justice and common sense and decency may disappear forever.

I think Linux Developers should give us the utilities to protect common decency.

That is the political will to change the bad practices of all kinds.

Water Logic

Water Logic

Most of the information fed into this book is based on observations, some casual and some smart but simple scientific observations, which I have made over the past 20 years. If I did not make my observations for this year (2011) with almost drought in some parts of the country and equally bad floods and typhoons effecting the South of the country, this book would end up with unresolved conflict of interests and erros on basic scientific tenets.

My observations
The observations are as good as gold and they are a good base for my water logic to end this book.
One must take one important factor into consideration.
 

Coal Power
This is the year with full commission of the Coal Power.
Most of my predictions in the past predictions were made on scientific grounds and have come true. 

For Coal Power my guess was I need at least another five years of observation for it to be of scientific in nature, value added and substantive.
My gut feeling says with one observations I have now, I need not wait for another 5 years, a long period in human terms to make feasible predictions and appropriate correction, if there are any.
This year's observations are good enough to base physical and biological predictions.

One observation was of paramount importance.
This time the Indian Oriole did not go back.
I believe, I spotted a young one probably born here, Indian Oriole to be precise, well before the approaching winter, in Northern India.
That simple observation is enough for me to base my predictions.
 

I am entitled to make prediction based on this observation without waiting for another five years.
Why the Indian Oriole did not go back?
It is no secret they move out in winter to escape bad weather as well as food scarcity.

But they invariably return to their base for breeding.
But not this time round.

Why?
1. The warm air currents heralding the Summer did not arrive from the North.
2. Warm air current remained almost constant throughout the year in Kandy and suburbs.
3. Birds were confused (at least one pair) to make a move.
4. Birds made a decision to base their breeding here.

An interesting evolutionary fact.
5. That is the beginning of a new niche.

Becoming endemic here and make an evolution, trend.
 

Why?
It was our  COAL POWER BOOM.
We were generating coal power (both oil and coal) electricity to make the short fall of rain and the lack of capacity of the water reservoirs.
 

We did not generate power based on a scientific plan.
 

24 hour generation of coal power and the the resultant failure of normal movement of upper air currents had an adverse effect this year.
 

The failure of normal movement of warm air currents that determined bird migration did not happen this time round due to constant warm air produced by Coal Power Plants.

The bird migrate towards the warm air atmosphere.
Our hills are not tall enough to cool the warm air generated by the 24 hour Coal Power generation.

They remained almost stagnant not circulating except upward movement and there was no lateral movement and air currents.
There was no need for them to migrate back with constant warm air in the atmosphere. They remained here and some of them even bred here, I believe.
That is of course the good news.
 

Now to the bad news.
This time inter-monsoonal rain did not come in its regular 10 to 14 day cycles.
I think, they do not come in that pattern for number of years due to global warming.
They humidity of air remained high.
When the rain came it was unusually heavy.
There were flash floods.
This is very easy to explain.
With warm air, the volume of water vapor remaining in air to form clouds increased appropriately.
The delay or really the prolongation of short spells (10-14 day cycles in the past) to almost six (6) weeks, the interval between inter-monsoonal rain increased the amount or the volume of water vapor in the atmosphere to form clouds.
When the rain did come in about  6 to 8 weeks cycles they were unusually heavy.
All the necessary conditions were there for flash floods.
It did not rain.
 

It poured.

 
Now what is the contribution of coal power?
It hindered the natural cooling of air currents over our comparatively shorter hill (they are not Himalyas) side.
It is only about 6000 to 8000 feet ascent.
 

What was the end result?
The rain clouds bypassed Ceylon and landed on Indian subcontinent unleashing flash floods with never known rain in some part of India.
This is another time we collaborated with India.
They should congratulate our energy planners for introducing Coal Power for the windfall of water to India.
Only other time we collaborated was at the last Cricket World Cup.
With the help of politicians meddling with cricket we helped India to win.
We were generous.

Why?
It is far better to make almost 1.5 billion Indians happy instead of 20 million here.
That is our Buddhist benevolence.
Instead of worshiping the millions of gods they believe in, the Indians should turn towards Ceylon and make Namaskaras to our politicians and the energy planners who advice them for the windfall of the rains they got.

If we did not generate coal power we would have had the normal inter-monsoonal rains in shorter spells (humidity and saturation were enough to form rain clouds) of time and the rain would have landed here instead of in India.
One must not forget that Ceylon is a small island only of 140 miles across and at high speed of wind currents in upper atmosphere even big rain clouds can pass across in half an hour and reach mainland of India in 4 hours to precipitate as rain.
We are even generous to donate our rain clouds to poor Indian farmers.
So make sure the excess grains you produce sell back to Ceylon and make a profit in times of our needs.
 

The end results of coal power are many,
1. Increase the the rate of global warming.
2. Pollute our air we breath.
3. Interrupt our inter-monsoonal rain.
4. Donate rain clouds to Indian farmers.
5. Get the grain from India in return to feed our masses.
6. Divert Indian migrating Oriole to Ceylon and make them breed here.
7. Develop a pattern of species extinction by interfering with upper air currents and to make them breed here so that the brood will not have enough grain to feed themselves.

Only sure recipe I know of,  for cooling our atmosphere is the rain that comes during inter-monsoonal spells and it cools the air while taking away the soot and all the poisons in the air with it.
All these information mentioned above are copyrighted and if any scientist use them, at least have the curtsy's to acknowledge them as coming from simple observations of a doctor almost in retirement.
 

Solutions to overcome the lack of rain.
If I do not give solutions to the above problems our farmers may become angry with me.

I may labelled as a guy who misinform.

 

Good for an ornamental coffin sooner than later.
 

I will give the simplest to the more complex if the energy planners have the wisdom to institute them as a remedy.
They will prevent some of the maladies.
But global warming is a global issue.
We have to wait till year 2020 when America is ready to accept it as its own liability and culpability.
 

Simple Solutions
1. Give up the 100% electricity dream.
2. Give up Coal power.
3. Revisit the wisdom of our old kings, water was the only asset we had and only asset we are going to have.
All the above can be achieved or disposed of without two third majority in the parliament.
 

More Complex Solutions
1. Institute an ongoing study of how the air currents above our head in Ceylon behave.
2. Determine the factors that influence the air currents.
3. Till them generate Coal Power only during day time starting at 10 AM and stop producing it at  4 PM. when our shops close.
4. Use Hydroelectric power generation in the night.
The items 2 and 3 will simulate Natural Cooling Cycle (N.C.C) and minimize the effect of thermal power on natural cooling at night.
It will not bring 10 to 14 day cycles of yesteryear but at least minimize flash floods and heavy precipitation.
5. Come to a policy of 70% electricity sufficiency and declare zones of no electricity at all (not even gas/oil generated) covering at least 30% of the country's designated rain forest.
7. Energy Tax or Global Warming TAX (GWT-Gonnu-WannanTa AthaDheemaX) for every mile on gas/oil and not for electric cars.
8. The most ambitious project is to make Piduruthala-Gala tallest mountain range in Asia, even taller than the Himalaya by declaring a project to make it taller in 6 years.
This is my miracle dream.
It can be done by putting all the rubbish advertisement that are intended for the next round of elections.
The papers should be pasted over Piduruthla-Gala (ROCK) commencing this Christmas, 2011.
When the end of the world come true in 2012 or after we can climb up and watch it up to the heaven from there.
Everyone who voted for this two third majority government except Tamils (they should continue to go to Kataragama as usual) should make a pilgrimage to Piduruthala-Gala and paste the paper over it with a water resistant paste.
By the time of the next elections come,  it will be taller than the Himalaya and we will trap all the rain clouds.
 

We will be back to square one once again.

Kurumegala is a city I want to forget

Kurumegala is a city I want to forget

Long long time ago, I was living near Kunenegala and it was famous for Mangoes and T.B. Illngaratne (from Galagedera).

The place was Weuda and and I attended the Girls Primary School nearby. I wanted to visit there and donate some books before coming here but could not. Cleaning up the Roof Top Garden took a toll.

It goes back to my early University day as a seconded officer. 

Girls and boys who came from schools from Kurunnegala were known from school days cheating and copying. 

In fact, I caught a few of them in their first examination but "only warned them" and said that next time YOU are going home.

That is number one.

Number, too was I had to cover a hospital for one week and a guy not a doctor was running the place.

I left Kurunegala never to return.

The third was this Dayasiri Guy and Mahinda Rajapakasa Combo cheating in elections in this district.

Of course, I got activated to evict this gang fearing they would get established in Kandy.

What we replaced with "Maithree and Ranil" was a disaster. 

Yes with NPP/JVP in, we now in Kandy are from "pan to the the fire".

ALT Linux

ALT Linux 

Russians are Listening to my Gnome Push

Thank YOU.

I did not like MATE desktop but once installed it in my OLD Laptop and gave up due to lack of applications.

Gnome has ton of applications and is on versions 48, now.

Maria Fokanova has announced the release of ALT Linux 11.0 "Workstation", an independently-developed Linux distribution with RPM package management and (newly) GNOME as the default desktop: "Update 11 of ALT Workstation operating system is available. The new distribution release is based on Platform 11 (p11 'Salvia' stable branch). The build is available for the x86_64 and AArch64 architectures, using the 6.12 (LTS) Linux kernel. System environment: GCC 14 compiler suite; systemd 255.18; glibc 2.38; glib2 2.82. The new distribution retains the ability to boot ALT Workstation in LiveCD mode. The LiveCD uses Nouveau drivers, while the installed system defaults to NVIDIA drivers. Key features of the release on Platform 11: redesigned system theme; switched from MATE to GNOME desktop environment; numerous new GNOME-compliant applications; updated documentation. The most significant change in Workstation is transition to the GNOME desktop environment. GNOME components: GTK 4.16, Libadwaita 1.6, GNOME Shell 47.4.

Sabayon-27

Linux100-Sabayon-27
If one is fed up of Suse and Mandriva (I am fed up with both of them, both while being heavy and make a point to omit good utility packages that are in the commercial versions), this one is for you.

It has shed some of its weight from 3.5 GB to 1.7 and the slimmer versions provides what Suse and Mandriva keep as commercial packages.

It has XBOX (Multimedia) for which I give 250 points and it’s score is over 1500 (out of 3000 odd points which I give for an all inclusive heavy distributions).

Sabayon (Slakware) and Monomax (Ubuntu) are almost similar but I prefer Sabayon for its comparatively light weight strategy.

If they added blender I would have given extra bonus points!

It lives with it’s promise the dream we believe on!

However, it should promote the Live CD much more vigorously than the heavy DVD version.

If a distribution cannot put its act together with 1.5 GB it is not worth the downloading time in this part of the world (Ceylon).

Our downloading is pretty slow and servers hang up in the night!
Guys switch off the Server (Our Telecom) and go to sleep and that is the time unfortunately I download the Linux distributions for testing.

Cherry Tomatoes

Posted on June 21, 2011

Cherry Tomatoes

At the beginning of the year when I decided to blog on a topic at random I decided to use a plant (plant for my life) as a topic, if I run short an idea and get bored.

I could write only a few and there were many topics that came at random, I had to put that ides on a back burner for sometime, especially because of the World Cup Cricket and I had enough new Linux distribution downloaded to write about.
 

Then again I thought I will restrict to drought resistant and somewhat alien to my city.

Never ever I though I will write about cherry tomatoes.

I have very little time for gardening and what I call my gardening is not really gardening.

It can be rephrased as “garden patch watching”, in other words it is a little patch of garden left to elements and let it grow everything and anything in that area.

The little patch allowed to elements and go wild.

My interventions are if the spell is very dry (which is now) and no rain make sure I water them late at midnight and over weekends if nasty growths that hinder community growth are found pull them out, immediately.

My seeders (not Linux seeders) are the birds.

I am very fortunate that we live in the pathway of bird migration (winter birds) and the type of birds were little bit more this year than that of the last year.

Left over rice and food is thrown all over and they do come very early as early as 4 am in the morning an as late as 5 to 6 pm.

I some time get up with them singing (but lazy to get up and see who is coming and who is not coming) but make a mental note of the various sing songs they mix the aerial ambiance (like the common cuckoo).

Few months ago, I saw a tomato plant on the wall side of the foot steps leading to rear of the house (a very few walk up that path, except me to feed the fish in a little pond/tank) and growing in a crevice. 

Probably the seeds have been taken there by the ants but nor recovered in time.

It started growing slowly and then quickly crossed the narrow foot path (its spread was over the foot steps) and even the dog did walk gently over it. My dog loves plants and their smell and have the habit of sniffing the leaves and discriminating them from the civet's foot steps at night.

Tomato is a tropical plant and love dry and warm climate and my intention was to watch it as a bio-indicator (mind you tomatoes are very very cheap nowadays).

It started flowering and bearing beautiful tiny fruits.

Very soon they were garnishing the dinner table (without telling anybody I picked a few washed and kept them on the dinner table).

Now it is very dry and no rain for a few days and it is drying up with reaming fruits all over the place and when the rain comes they will germinate and few will be taken to various places by ants and to the back garden.

The spread is left to nature and I want to see how many of them survive.

As a small insurance I took a few of them and spread among plants of the roof top garden.

Believe it or not I have a young pipal (Bo) tree on the rooftop which I have treated with absolute disdain (unlike many Buddhists) for the last three years except watering it when it is near to its final hour.

Irony is in this Buddhist county I cannot find a place to replant it (in this Kandy city-ritualistically Buddhist) but our Buddhist go to India to warship the sacred pipal tree.

I am using it as a bio-indicator and if it dies, I am pretty sure there will be a significant drought in this country.

This tree also thanks to the birds who visit us.

When our coal power plant is in full swing, surely we will lose some more birds including migrant and I won't have seeders except Linux guys who seed me with Linux derivatives and not living seeds or plants..

Expensive Aircrafts Becoming Obsolete

Israelite 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 aircraft cannot be mounted in a hurry.

 

Plan

1. Moment a squadron of air crafts 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 missiles.

The other the avionics.

4. Information is fed to the air borne missiles battery well away from target acquisition.

5. Boom from 200 to 300 kilometers where aircraft cannot visualize the offending aircraft.

6. I think China 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 armor 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 took only 10 days to deplete the stockpiles.

14. It is not diplomacy that stopped the escalation but the ground reality are currently 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.

Good Old Days Resource Usage

Good Old Days Resource Usage

1. 4MLinux all in one (70 MiB). 

It has UnetBootIn too.

2. Puppy Linux (120 Mib)

3. Unity (370) both 32 bits and 64 bits versions.

4. Peppermint (440MiB)

5. Taylor Swift (690 MiB)

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.

The distribution can be used as a live CD/USB using separated live images or can be installed on a hard drive. 

Up to version 2.0 “Topaz”, Elive was available as a free live Iso image, but installation module had to be bought.

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.
The current version 2.6.x is still in beta stage.

Elive is available for i386 CPU based (or newer) machines.

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.

The project has been closed in 2013.

The founder and developer of SolusOS is Ikey Doherty.

There is another project develops by Ikey – EvolveOS, which uses Budgie desktop. It was renamed to Solus in 2015, so make sure that SolusOS and Solus are two different projects.

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;

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 the money pored in 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 the culture vultures.

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.

 

1. Suda or Sudath guy is fully exposed

 See the YouTube exposure.

2. Sepala is number one anti-Buddhist.

He loves to be declared himself as an anti-Buddhist.

3. Bryno is a different animal.

Who finances him I have no idea.

Most likely CIA.

4. Dharshana Hapangoda

Was a real NPP/JVP guy by design.

He is basically anti-Rajapaksa to begin with.

5. Nirmal Ranjith 

He is a Soft Church Strategist.

Unlike cardinal he is soft peddling using NPP as a tool.

He is politically sterile

The Church and Cardinal want him to like that.

6. Chintana Dharmadhsa is another political animal wanting to promote his trade subtly.

7. There are 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

It is very difficult to analyse politics in Ceylon.

Tamil Diasphora has many arms and representation all over the world but Tamils who are left in Ceylon do not want a repetition and annihilation by design.

1. Destroy the Culture based on Buddhism is the major plan.

They do not see that will destroy the Hindu Culture and what is left of Christian denomination.

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 meant.

PPP has another meaning.

 

Partiyata Passa dena Purushayo.

 

Arxx hole politicians.

 

Sirimavo was one of the worst PM of Ceylon by many a mile but this current 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 the 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 date.

 

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 PM 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 up above Vatican  is heaven.

My question is why these guys clamor for this post.

If it is not the glamour, it is the money that goes with it that corrupts.

Follow Chapa Bandara.

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

I am at a loss to read the JVP thinking of the top political echelon except they are ready to lie one lie after another.

 

Epitome of a lie machine.

 

In Dhammapada it is said that a person who lies can take part in any crime.

He or she can execute or plan a blue murder and deny any association or connection.

That is the very nature of the lie machine.

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.

AnduInOS

AnduInOS
If one is looking for Ubuntu and cannot find new Ubuntu Iso, one should try UnduInOS. One is actually Undoing the old habit of using Ubuntu. Yes,      I got the traditional Ubuntu installed in my NUC after a very long time.
Its desktop effects are fantastic. I hope Gnome wake of from slumber add some live features to its Gnome desktop. In fact, it has GDebi package and I installed Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. I am going to use this for some time till I get the hang of using it. It brings all the nostalgia of Old Ubuntu. Thank you  to the Developer Girls and Boys of UnduInOS.  
However, AnduInOS destroyed my GRUB Bootloader. Does not matter, it is once more installing Debian Gnome on its /root folder with all data intact,     in my /home folder.

Plumeria (Araliya) and Peradeniya University

Plumeria (Araliya) and Peradeniya University

Plumeria, also known as frangipani, is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Rauvolfioideae, of the family Apocynaceae.

Frangipani was a restaurant we use to frequent during our University days, I hope it is still functioning after the Coronavirus debacle

Most species are deciduous shrubs or small trees. 

The species are native to the Neotropical realm (in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and as far south as Brazil and as far north as Florida in the United States) but are often grown as cosmopolitan ornamentals in tropical regions, especially in Hawaii, as well as hot desert climates in the Arabian Peninsula with proper irrigation.

Yes, a few years after my retirement, I visited Peradeniya University just to a take few photographs of them in the background.

I just forget where I kept those photographs.

I did take my regular camera and I cannot see them in the camera.

Perhaps, I copied them to the PC and deleted them from my camera.

The colours of them come from pure white to crimson and many shades.

The point I discuss today is, all these colours and flowers too, fade just like our lives fade away in our retirement as if we have never existed.

One should remind this fact on  the coming Wesak POYA DAY (not Anura type of politics), that everything in this world is transient and fluid and do not forget to meditate on that fact, when one offers flowers to Buddha.

These Niragamikoyo laugh at these meditative acts, and I am sure they would end up in Niraya.

Yes, the Niraya is the end point of Niragamikayos!
