Dream-08 and its interpretation from Heaven

This dream was a good one and I hope Maha Brahma gives me a good interpretation.

I dream a lot nowadays, simply because we are on industrial action and that gave me a liberal choice to dream whenever it pleases me and also to avoid dreams related to our action on day time.

Now I even dream on an armchair or a baby chair and  I can be considered a armchair dreamer with a paltry pension to support myself in twilight years.

I can tell you dreaming is good for your soul and your brain and it invigorates you and make you more creative.

I hope the industrial action would go on for ever, so that I can develop a good relationship with Maha Brahma and who knows he might give me a new lease of life next time round.

Again the dream is aeriel type related to flying but not interplanetary episode.

The Dream 

I was staying with one of my friends who was top class civilian pilot.

He too was a good dreamer not on flight unlike present day pilots with autopilot and drop to sleep in the cockpit for no reason.

He has seen my dreams and their interpretations and wanted to share my experience and how to get into sleep mode.

We were chatting and it was big double bed with my head on his foot side and his the opposite side.

His first question was how can you dream so easily,  the interplanetary stuff I mean, and have you read Archer C. Clark's books.

I said; No he was too boring without even dry humor I never read his books but only look at the pictures in his books.

In any case I was a very bad dreamer till lately.

How come?

Second time in my life I joined an industrial action and at the beginning I was dreaming of fat salary hike, like your are getting.

Then without any effort I got the part of my brain charged (part I never used when I was working) and the secret is the industrial action.

You mean to say if I want to have good dreams, I should go on strike.

Air industry won't let me do that know?

That is not my problem but we can exchange our jobs and you become a Professor of Air of Idiosyncrasy in Sri-Lanka and I become a civilian pilot.

Have I got to wear a beard?

No but the salary one gets is not enough for a good shave and that is why we do not shave or take a haircut.

I see, I thought when you grow a bread it makes one more creative.

What nonsense?

Then suddenly I went into deep sleep mode.

I saw a plane going over our head and he said that is the plane I will be piloting.

Hurry up and get ready.

My friend like a fire Fighter in 3 minutes was ready and he was reading his flight schedule.

I woke up but went to sleep again and again in my dream state.

Finally he pulled me out of the bed and I do not remember whether he kicked my head or backside but got up and got dressed.

Then when I was looking for a pair of shoes I did not fine a pair.

I usually by two pairs of the same type since one shoe is damaged, I take one from the other.

What happens is when I use my creative (right) side of the brain the shoe on the opposite side of the brain wears off faster and when I use the logical brain (left) the shoes on the right side wears off.
I never use both sides of the brain at the same time for my own sanity, simply because I can get one shoe at a time repaired from the salary we get (never both).

If I use both sides of the brain I deserve twice the salary anyway.

By this method I can use both pairs of shoes as long as possible until my dog decides that it is time for a good and a smelly chew.

I was trying to pick a proper pair for half an hour and I could not and my friend's size was twice my size and he was of no help.

The car which was to take us to the airport arrived and I decided to go only on socks.

He said I was breaking the protocol and one has to be properly dressed.

I jumped into the car only with socks and he put all my shoes in the booty and we were on our way and was one hour late.

First time in his life my friend, the pilot lost a flight (and his license too) and I too lost a chance to go to his cabin for a free drink (soft drink of course).

I thought I am going to lose a friend and that's it.

When I woke up my friend was sleeping well and I was under the bed with both his shoes in my hands.

You remember we slept on in opposite directions.

Actually I got up because of the nasty smell of his shoes.

I quickly put his shoes on his head end my shoes on my head end. 

So if you share a room with your friends make sure that you put shoes outside.

Interpretation.

Maha was excited about the dream but he always exchange some pleasantries and that is the way the heaven works.

He asked me have you ever missed a flight?

Only once nearly so I told him.

How come?

I was saying with one (really two-husband and wife) of my friends and they had a domestic fight before we left home and we got late.

I thought people do not fight when visitors are there.

Not like in heaven, we make sure that we start a fight so that the third party also can join in and make it worse.

Did you join in?

No.

If I did that I would have missed the flight.

I joined the queue and made a request to pay for the extra luggage to have some leeway to catch up with the lost time.

I quickly paid and luggage was in transit.

The final call was out in seconds and I had to run for the next twenty minutes with a flight attendant.

Because I had gone to pay for extra luggage they knew I had checked in and she came in search of me.

When we were running security stopped me at several gates (Thank god LTTE was not known then) and checked and the flight attendant could not help.

One point I was so annoyed and I pulled out a tooth brush and a tooth paste and some tiny teddy bear from my pockets and the senior came and said well let him go, lest he will miss the plane.

So we finally (she was in front in the latter stages) reached the gate and all doors were closed except the rear emergency entry from which we got in.

I must say I had a lovely flight home and the flight attendant kept the big teddy in her cabin ( I did not have any hand luggage space since I was the last to enter) and I was served some extra liquor too.

Mind you I was the first to get out of the plane with the courtesy of the flight attendants.

That is a very nice true story and he was about to dish out his explanation, I asked him, I am going to miss a ride / a flight to heaven isn't it?

Do not be impatient old man.

I cannot tell that in advance but anyway  this story is not related to you.

This is about future.

This has nothing to do with flying.

In time to come there will be food shortages, the shoes represent scarcity of food and people eating from filthy dustbins, like dogs.

Missed flight represent the hunger.

Is it in Ceylon?

Yes.

Don't you realize now itself the coconut is Rs.50= and there are no coconuts then, not even imported.

There is no rice too.

No paraya dogs?

Yes no paraya (stray) dogs too.

They have eaten all cats and dogs and bird of feather, too.

They are on the verge of cannibalism.

I think I should not go any further.

What is the time scale?

Don't worry, you have gone out well before that?

Where?

I cannot tell you that sunna!

He disappeared quickly.

Web Etiquette

Web Etiquette and finding a suitable webbing name for blogging and browsing.

See below for passwords, a short new entry.

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 a diabetic.
In noway I am going to 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 leads 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 injection.

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.

Back to pseudonym, 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 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 end 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 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 Gambase 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 numerals.

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, you and your pseudonym, rise to the top in the web of antonymous.

Passwords
I wanted to write about password for sometime and kept postponing it for valid reason.
If I bear them here the hackers will use it to decode it.
So I do it free of charge on personnel basis not out in the open.
But one trick is easy to do.
In good old days, before computers and zip codes and bar coeds came in every shop had a  code name with 10 letters.
Each letter represented numbers 1 to 10 in serial order.
Marked price is written in letters and not in numbers.

Same trick to remember the 25 letters in the alphabet/keyboard,

Quick Fox Runs,

12345, 678, 9,0,10,11

The mark price for  1000 = is nuu

The mark price for  1010 = is nn

For example Pig on my back or pin on my back
                      123, 45, 67, 89010

Password could be pi3on67bac10

One can use any combination of this and one has to remember the catch phrase only once.

Please do not use the above since the hackers may have already put the code in their search engine to crack the password.

But one may use
Runs Fox Quick OR
Back my pin,on

Use your imagination for the catch phrase and use the numbers in reverse order.

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0

I use a different trick for my password and they come from Linux Code and only a Linux guy with lot of determination will crack it to find there is nothing valid in my emails which has not been published already in my blog sites.

se demander -to wonder, how could I master French?

French is a beautiful language on paper but not when a native French speaks to another native (not English of course) French.

English however has grabbed all the niceties (not English speaking diplomats including Koreans) including cricket commentators of yesteryear.

The worst of the crime to French and English is perpetuated by English and Canadian Football Hooligans now turned Human Right Protectors of the World.

Below is a collection of French sayings I copied from the web with only one word demande.

In English it is corrupted to force of demand in colonial times of the past and now channel 4 outbursts of Human rights (most of them were few years ago Football Hooligans).

Enjoy even if you cannot pronounce them especially, the tongue-tied English, who cannot pronounce my name in full (it is a violation of My Human Right anyway).

demander la lune
to ask for the moon

se demander
to wonder, to ask oneself

se demander bien pourquoi...
to not be able to figure out why...


Cela ne se demande pas !
That's a stupid question!

Il est parti sans demander son reste.
He left without a murmur.

Que demande le peuple ?
What more could you ask for?

Je ne demande qu'à vous voir.
All I ask is to see you.



 demander la parole
to ask for permission to speak


Also how corrupt it has got when it turned into English?


Parle has cahnged to parole (change in tense) and English parole (in French it is the freedom to speak-French Revolution but in English the freedom to move -physical freedom of it's incarcerated inmates including Sri-Lankans in Ceylon after 1815, tortured and killed in prisons.

Now these English and the "Whites" speak of Human Rights which they violated including French in Africa in colonial times.

They all are hypocritical including Channel 4.

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 grow 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 that hinder community growth are found pull them out.

My seeders (not Linux seeders) are the birds.

I am very fortunate that we live in the pathway of bird migration (winter birds) and type of birds were little bit more this year than that 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 ariel 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 (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 (its spread was over the foot steps) path 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 civets 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 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 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 want have seeders except Linux guys who seed me with Linux derivatives an not living seeds or plants..

Dream-07 and its interpretation from Heaven

Monkey Dream

Dream seven was a short one and bit bizarre.

It was a very short one and I woke up with some anger before I could finish viewing it with normal calm and satirical intents associated with my dreams.

It was a small cubicle with two way entrance.

I saw little brat who showed a mirror to a robust money.

The monkey took the mirror in his hand and bashed over the toddlers head with glass pieces all over the place and vanished through the side entry.

Before I could summon my senses and get ready to view another came in through the same door with something in the hand like a club and bashed again on the toddler and he fell down.

I hate children being ill treated and woke up with a broomstick in my hand. 

Well it was a dream and I put the broomstick where it should be and tried to memorize the story before I could forget it and go into trance of another mediocre dream like getting a fat salary or winning a lottery from heaven.

So there you are, I could remember it to send an email to Maha.

He responded quickly.

He pulled an armchair laid himself for a long interpretation.

I told it was very short one and what was the long of it.

He said good that you woke up.

You would have ended up with a heart attack in your dream.

Me, on a dream?

Second part was violent and it was all out war like LTTE and Armed Forces.

You mean to say LTTE won.
 No stupid.

Then International Community who backed the terror won.

No stupid.

I was fully confused.

Don't you realize this is a futuristic dream.

What was the time scale? I asked him.

In evolutionary term it is short but significant in about 100 years.

Who are they?

Have you seen the Planet of Apes.

Yes.

Then it is somewhat similar.

There were series of nuclear accident not related to war but equipment malfunction like in Japan.

It was spread by a mutation of the Israel virus that hit Iran nuclear facility.

It went around the entire world in mater of two weeks and catastrophic destruction ensued.

Millions and millions of people and animals died and the whole world was stinking with chemicals and dead bodies animals (almost all dog population except few wild dogs) and humans.

For sometime there appeared no life on earth except few plants.

Then there were two mutant species one humanoid and one ape, amongst many others.

Humanoid were short and was of toddler size.

The apes were slightly bigger and taller and were dominating the world.

They pushed the humanoids to barren lands and islands where monkeys could not reach and there were no tree cover except tiny farm lands.

Why are they small?

Food in short supply and that is the way the genes have been designed to last critical periods of evolution on Earth.

Big do not survive but midgets do.

Or I see.

I saw a paper on Paleontological evidence to say that when a catastrophe of this nature occurs the surviving animals fill the niche as it were and it is the norm.

That is a stupid idea know?

Maha was not impressed with that theory.

I asked why?

This is not a natural catastrophe but artificial and man made .

It affected the entire biodiversity including plants and it does not leave ground for a niche or any opportunity for the rest.

See what happened to the entire dog population vanished.

What remained really went wild.

They went backwards in evolution and not forward like the humanoids with short stature.

Elephants were decimated like the dinosaurs.

You mean to say end of human intelligence.

I suppose so.

Then he had a very sorry and worried look.

I asked why?
Did the effect filtered to the heaven?

No.

Then?

If this happens who is going to dream for me?

Even animals and humanoid do dream know?

I said.

That is besides the point.

Their dreams are not futuristic like yours.

Give me a break and extend my agonizing stay on earth?

Would you?

I may have to do that till the sun shines.

Please don't.

I will consider a proposal to the President (in his dreams) to  have a say and increase your salary.

Would you?

I will try the dream method first and if it fails I will try the Dr. White's oil method.

Thank you Sir.

Then he vanished.

Free Blog Sites that I love to be assocoated with

The are number of free blog sites that are available free and having worked with Google and WordPress I decided to to have a go.

Before that I must say few words about my progress.

Free blogging started in Kandy for young kids with talent in writing and improve English at www.writeclique.net.

At the beginning I also contributed and it became clear to them my topics were coming up frequently in the top 10 and the administrator decided to block my topics coming up without any intimation.

This is I call age discrimination (there was no hint of this at the beginning).

I did not mind that but continued to contribute but less and less there.

A man brought up with democratic traditions I felt it was not ethically right.

Then I found Google and association with writeclique became a past tense in pastime and I decided to distance myself from it.

I even wanted to delete the posting but thought deleting is giving into their desires and that also is not ethically right.

Blogsite at Google

It is a very good site but I cannot categorize my entries.

No one post a day restriction and i post as many as that come to my mind.

It has a good search engine.

Wordpress
My favorite

Wordpress is the best in town with lot of feedback and improvements.

In a few minutes I imported all my Linux 100 live CD comments to wordpress.

It looks like one day I am going to run out of space there and what I am trying to do is to have a daily post (one post a day) there and have a little rest afterward.

I missed few days but for the last six months I was posting there daily.

Daily posting was very good  incentive for me to put my thoughts into words.

Above all it is based on open software unlike Google and that is the very reason for me staying with them and continuing.

Then the plunge

University industrial action gave me lot of time and I decided to pull my socks and pull out all my writing from writeclique into categories elsewhere at different sites.

I found the following agreeable to me.

1. OnSugar

Very good site with lot of advertisements.

2.Xange

Very good site with lot of advertisements.

3. Livejournal

Another good site 

Squarespace is good and I signed in there and they charge you after 2 weeks of trial and I would not go with it.

Webnode is free but I found difficult to organize myself. 

Weeby is too heavy and proprietary.

Blog.com is good but it is a derivative of wordpress free software which I am already using with wordpress.


So guys and girls if you want blog, it now the time, before everyone of them start charging you for the service. 

This invitation include writeclique guys and girls who read my posting.

But make sure you do not upload videos and photos a lot which will gulp up the free space in no time.

Enjoy it when I am free.

God only knows how long?

 

Please make sure you give minimum of bio-data to verify the authenticity and identity.

DoudouLinux-Update

Debian based Doudou Linux probably originated from France is available in English and is a CD one should have in your possession.

It is cute configured internet automatically and now I am blogging about it.

It has gcompris and many more utilities children under 12 should enjoy.

I should make a correction.

If any adult want to feel bit like a child which I am now, it won't do any harm to your soul.

I am not sure it can be installed but it is certainly a Live CD.

Good work guys and girls.

If it cannot be installed I hope very soon they write a script for install.

Mind you it allows you to make a USB stick.

I have not seen sugar on a stick for some time which is educational and this this is neck ahead of SUGAR.

This piece of blog was done with Doudou Linux booted Live.

Go and downland it free and enjoy with your kids.

Ground Realities and Trying to Change (Changing) Linux Customer Base

It is time for me to have a pause and see the ground realities and customer behavior and business politics.

I am in defense of change (of course not for Sea Change) for good with lot of nice cute gadgets like ipods, tablets and kindle are coming out cheap to the market now.

As far as promoting Sinhala Linux is concerned, there is nobody willing to change the habits.

I could not download Hanthana Linux and it is stuck around 700 odd MiB with only two seeders with the server switched off at night.

In the mean time I have downloaded (at least 30 distributions with updates for testing) all the Debian 6.0.0 series and currently finishing the 6.0.1 with minor bug fixes.

All Gnome, KDE and xFce, LXDE (which I like the most even though missing K3B ) are fine for Sinhala Linux and they are very stable and one should start using them if we want to Keep Sinhala Unicode as a viable option in the Linux Community.

Having said that, as I stated earlier about Hanthana Linux, my reservations are coming true, sadly since Fedora (this is the reason I stopped using it) is undergoing a Sea of Change (I like the change though in a business like manner not for the sake of change-people who do not change and stop innovating new ideas will fail in any business let alone Linux) with even partition types.

I hope Fedora gives option for old tradition of EXT 3 and 4 to old customers.

In the meantime I downloaded all Fedora Editions (all because of Sinhala Support from 13 upwards for posterity) from 13 and above (I am still struggling to finish CD version of KDE, Fedora 13) and an Old Fedora Bible Book with version 6 for completion.

Redhat was my heartthrob and heartbeat those days.

Hanthana Linux is Fedora 14.5 and probably stuck there not knowing what to do next.

What is striking about the Fedora Community is it has produced a distribution called Synergy Alpha 2 where one has the basic packages including LibreOffice and one can add up other packages after installation.
This is the one that one should download and have a feel (mind you no support for old Graphic Cards) and I have put that image in my Dropbox for sharing with Linux Lovers.

Even package management is changing I prefer the Fedora Community to produce a DVD in the range of 1 GiB to 1.5.

In this background Debian is rock solid and its derivative AVLinux 5 which I downloaded yesterday is fabulous with everything one needs including Blender. 

I did not check whether it has Sinhala Capability.

I decided to look at the downloads at distrowatch for the last month.

The customer habits are revealing.

1. For the first time Linux Mint (1) which is Ubuntu / Debian derivative is on top over 2000 (did not change to Unity) downloads.

2. Fedora second (2) over 2000 (sea of change with most numerous seeders all over the world and with very fast download for Fedora 15)

Fedora 16 is coming soon and thank you very much for seeders.

3. Ubunbtu in third (3) place with under 2000 (changed holistically to Unity). 

4. Debian is the fourth (4) the most stable under 1500 downloads.

5. Significantly PCLinux (My Gold Standard for stable Live / Install) over 1000 for the first time in the seventh (7) place.

6. Puppy is at eight (8) place with just under 1000.

7. CentOs a Redhat base at tenth (10) place. 

 8. Mageia and not Mandriva in the first 10 is a significant observation.

What it proves is that the customer base is mature both wanting stable and rolling versions and also ready for change.

Like me they should use both, new version for testing and giving the feedback to the community and use the old version for day to day working and at the end of the year decide what you like the most and install it and retire for Christmas holidays.

I do not advice one of having several computers like me since my electricity bill is sky rocketing in Sri-Lanka and it is one of the miracles of the presently (not pleasantly) powerful (inside only) government.

At the end the customers are the winners unlike Microsoft base which is trying to change to catch up with the trends but failing significantly.

AVLinux-5-Linux Update

The Latest score for AVLinux stands at 2380 and if you a fan of Audio Video Work this one is for you.

AVLinux, Latest Version 5 is a fabulous Debian based Linux distribution for Audio Video productions.

It is at LinuxTracker torrent and took little over one day to download.

Hope few more seeders join in to speed up the show.

It has Blender, Scribus and Inkscape (print productions) and LibreOffice.

What I like most is UnetBootIn.
AVLinux is not in the list of UnetBootIn but read my blog to how to work around this problem.

Good work Guys and Girls.

Enjoy AV Linux.

Mama Mia, Ama Mia and Mage Ammmo

Mama Mia,

Is the only Italian phrase,

I could remeber from 

The very old English Film

With famous Elizebeth Taylor

In action

Ama Mia was

The Japanese Professor emiratus

Who was humble enough

To share my room

Mage Ammo

Is the phrase 

I use

Even though

My mother is no more

When I see the

Price of Piti Kiri

Not Maw Kiri

In super markets

I have lost a phrase

When I see

The Bills of Electricity 

And Telephone now

If this goes on like this

I have to say

Mum Maruno

For posterity!

Dream-06 and its interpretation from Heaven

Only two days I practiced Maha Brhahma's prescription I was getting into dream mode just like switching to a new window panel in Full Monty.

He said don't do Kusala or Akusala and it was easy to practice it because of the industrial action we set ourselves motivated in to go forward with.

It goes like this.

Like in simple scientific laws of physics, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction in pursuit.

If I do some academic work, it becomes Akusala to the Union we represent and it is Kusala to the government in full gear and turbo power.

If I stay at home and have a pipe dream in my armchair dreaming about the miracles that would happen and the exponential salary hike, it is only dreams which we are entitled nowadays.
It is Kusala to my Union and Akusala to the University authorities including UGC.

 

They cancel each other and get into Kriya Mode which is the Dream Cycle in Action.

Mind you U.G.C. is a white elephant created by the yesteryear colossal animal called JRJ and now no more but his look a like is hovering in the upper chambers of power untouched by nobody.

 

So for dreaming virtually anything I get a salary not worth to done in a garb called cloak which every blessed graduates hire for his or her convocation and a photograph afterward.

 

I done in this cloth only once in my life time to honour a Japanese professor who was humble enough to share my room and learn English (from another Japanese who was perfect example of an ambassadorial stuff) in less than six months. 

Worse scenario was, then Vice Chancellor came two hours late from his official residence which was a walking distance. 

Suffice is to say he was very close associate of Mrs.Kumaranatunge and followed her example to the letter by getting late on every occasion.

These are the type of Vice Chancellor that UGC selects and recommend now on political affiliations.

I think very soon somebody (not me, I have an allergy for governments of East and West or Dead Center) will get a Chair or we call it professorship for dreaming for the government in power.

In actual fact the present Ministers does not know how to dream a miracle which I am going let you know in a moment.

I am very bad at dreaming and even if I dream  I cannot remember (that is the very physiological nature of dreams) them for any length of time and Maha Brahma and his fancy for human dreams especially of mine has facilitated a healthy relationship and this adventure will go on until our industrial action is over.

God only knows for how long for sure.

My dream was a miracle dream.
I was selected by a panel from American Judges for a intergalactic mission of goodwill and I was the one taken in to give a brief in "Buddhism in a Nutshell" to the aliens.

We were in flight and within minutes I felt fishy.

They have perfected a new form of energy from antiatom caught and arrested by CERN in France and the name for that energy is called Poseidon (to remember the ship that sunk-it was brought to surface in seconds by this new form of energy) and the metal that the intergalactic ship was made was a new form of metal created by combination of few grains of antiatom and aluminium.
 
This element which is called antiatominium which has the atomic weight below hydrogen (Antiatom take the weight out of the equation but not the metallic strength) has the biological property of healing after injury and when damaged release enough antiatom for the repair process.

I was in a room which looked like Guanthamala Prison.

I was not allowed to see others.

They told me I get bored I will be allowed to look after sick inmates (ship was like a prison anyway with cramped up quarters and food was horrible).

I felt they were doping (it is called doping, or enticing antiatom, a new fission process to make antiatom from atoms) antiatom experiment and we were the human guinea pigs to see the after effects.

So I set about a revolts and to save all human beings from these nasty scientists.

First I designed  a way to make locked rooms open electronically using Linux Password Cracker (LPD for short). For my luck they gave me a computer with a printer like machine to make plastic cards robber resistant and I carried some Flash cards and Flash drives for my amusement.

So in a matter of few hours I made about 100 plastic cards with secret code cracker installed and was under  way opening every cubicle.

To my surprise all the cubicles had animals of food variety but not a single human soul.

I was so annoyed I woke with spicy words following the phrase these Americans......

Interpretation

Maha said the dream was  good one and he enjoyed it.

I asked him is the intergalactic mission possible.

What nonsense he replied.

They promised miracles during election and this look like a plausible scientific miracle dream!

He told me that politician dream during election campaign after heavy liquor but when they wake up from the dream realizes that not a single promise can be delivered like what JayaLalitha promised in Thamil Nadu.

He said this dream is futuristic but nothing scientific in nature and is a political realization of high order.

In your mind's aberration and applying science to unscientific field like politics, you can have dream like this.

What nonsense with coconuts going nuts, there is not even pol or pol arrakku, I told him.

Listen then.

It is a very short interpretation.

1.In future politicians in power spend two years of campaigning on borrowed money from IMF.

2. Next two years they are devising methods to pay the loans they owed and forget the electorate.

3. then the next 2 years they on campaigning.

4. Then a bizarre period of famine follow after failure of rain for few years.

5. Opposition come into power.

6 . Cycle from 1 to 3 repeats.

This is exactly what is happening now know?

No you missed a point.

The part you dreamt about animal is real.

Animals have to be bred in space or intergalactic space and brought in batches, just before and after the election for the G.O.P. party.

What about wine.

There is no alcohol or wine.

Why?

Temperature is above 38 C and all yeast species are killed on earth.

But they make a drink from the animal blood scarified in somewhat of halal method where every drop of blood is extracted from the killed animals in space.

It is called gintone (gin and tonic in short form).

Do you get a kick?

If you are still alive and well there on earth you must ask the elected president.

Why?

They only drink it and I have not yet tasted it.

OK.

OK.

Will you eat it, if it is in a dish?

If it has got four legs
And it is not a chair
Will you eat it?
Americans will eat it

If it has got two wings
And it flies
But is not an aeroplane,
Will you eat it?
British will eat it it

If it swims 

And it is not a submarine,
Will you eat it?
Africans will eat it

It has no legs
And wiggles
But not a stick
Or a broom stick
Will you eat it?
Yes the Chinese will eat it
Like noodles


But poor
Cantonese
Or an Indian
Or a  Bangladeshi
Cook
Has to cook it

Before it is dished out

In a royal plate

It looks as if

Even a modern 

Buddhist of Colombo

Or a Buddhist monk

From Anuradhapura

Would not say

No

If it is dished out

Not in royal

But

At a Presidential Buffet

In Colombo

Dream-05 and its interpretation from Heaven

Latest dream as far as I am concerned was futuristic.

Reasons I will give below.
It goes on like this.
We had a long drawn out industrial action, this time students (like in 1988-1989), I was getting bored and decided to quit for good which I did.

After 6 months of struggling I managed to get part of the Provident Fund (half of which was frozen for administration of unknown intellectual assets and authorities did not wish to part with the balance thinking if I die before the release of the funds, it was gross government saving, wished I could be dead by natural causes) and I wanted to buy a car for my retirement now that even walking a few paces was a struggle.

I went with somebody which I cannot remember probably an in law to drive me home.

We cleared everything and all of them got into the car and left leaving me behind with a heavy suitcase.

I thought now that I had signed the papers, they went for a test drive.

I could not leave my heavy luggage for safe keeping and after few minutes of waiting I decided to stroll down the alleyway.

The luggage was too heavy after few minutes I sat down under a tree panting and cursing myself, had I some money I would have hired a three wheeler.

Then after about half and hour they realized I wasn't in and came in search of me. By that time I had gone bananas and with the commotion I was woken up.

I must tell you why I was happy. 

My present Provident Fund saving is not enough to buy even a three wheeler.

I was visibly annoyed with myself for waking up lest I had gone to Anuradhapura in pilgrimage in this new car with total happiness, I may have even attained some path freedom (Sovan) in my dream.

That is the long and short of my dream but I was intrigued by the heavy luggage.

I sent an email to Maha and this time there was a long silence before his chat appearance.

I wasn't least pleased with his attitude to my latest dream.

I asked him was he busy to which he gave negative response.

Then again he was dragging his feet and asked me how  the industrial action was taking shape.

I told him we are having deliberations in the courts and I am not allowed to divulge anything.

Then he summoned his courage and said that this dream is not futuristic and dull and no point of discussing or interpreting.

I felt something fishy and asked him this dream is about me, isn't it?

He paused and said how did you guess?

Do you really need some interpretation? 

Why not, we earthling are going from pillar to post looking for godforsaken astrologers who take us for a ride.

We love to hear of our future even if it is our funeral and specially the salary increment we are going to get.

This one is little bad.

You mean to say we won't get any increment?

No fool it is your final farewell?

Farewell for leaving the University?

No fool your ultimate farewell from this planet.

Or I see.

You were waiting for the people to come and dump you and push the electric button and they were late and you were watching from above.

Heaven, I believe.

Can't tell you that now.

In that case can you tell me what was that heavy luggage in the suitcase.

That was your Kusal-Akusala Kamma Load.

Which is more?

Can't tell that too.

Can you tell me at least the Ahosi Kammas.

You have finished all your Ahosi Kamma by blogging and all in the suitcase were viable Kammas.

That means no Sovan for me, isn't it?

Can't tell you that too.

You must stop all blogging and stop doing any Kusala or Akulsala Kamma.

Why?

You are then in Kriya Mode and then only you get to dream good futuristic dreams not related to your life.

Or I see.

Less Kusala and Akusala in your suitcase and more I get to hear god futuristic dreams, from you.

How long?

That is left to you.

In that case I have to go on indefinite industrial action.

You won't have any problem with that since the case is in Sri-Lankan courts.

Happy dreaming.

See you soon.
