eee pc damn cool.. Linux vs. Windoze

huumm... lets talk about this "eee PC' from ASUS that I've got about 2 months ago.... I'd say that it is "Damn Cool". It comes with pre-installed Linux... an open source base on Xandros. I fall in love with it at first sight... small, handy, mobile and good enough for a traveler like me. Basically I use it just for communication, besides surfing the net, chatting, VoIP, do some document reading and using it as a middle appliance to my camera and stuffs.
It comes with a 7" screen and a 4G SSD.. with no hard drive though... build in web cam and mic.... wi-fi, Ethernet... and 3 usb slots which makes it weigh only 0.9KG.
Pre installed with a few handy software e.g: Skype, Pidgin Messenger,Mozilla Firefox, Open Office, Adobe Reader, Games and a whole lot of other application that comes in handy with its simple layout in an easy to use way. I guess it's the next best thing after Mac.
Well, since there has been a lot of review on it in the internet... you guys might just want to Google on it if you're interested to know more.

I'm In Colombo

I arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka yesterday morning... when the hotel reception hand me a Security Directive circular... as there has been bombing in some areas in the city as we all know due to the so called freedom fighters the The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. When I opened the curtain to have a peek at the scenery this is what I found. Hum.. I guess we don't really see this often in a 5 star hotel.
Check points like this are something you'll never miss on your trip to Colombo... it is placed almost every 500 meters apart along the main roads in the city especially near hotels and government buildings.. too many of these you might not even notice the beautiful view of the seashores and historical buildings around.
Once I've gone out to town with a few friends to a place called 'Fashion House'.. a place so called selling clothings and textiles at a very good bargain compared to back home... I see it as a huge reject shop though. Did bought some things for my son there... and when we were there, I over heard news of another bomb attack near town. Is it worth risking your life for some cheap clothes?? I didn't join them the next day.
Be going back home to night...

The Pilot Entry

hello everybody.... have you ever think that life pass us by so fast... a minute we were just a kid and the next we're adults... married... became parents and busy with our work and paying our debts.. all that we used to see our parents doing when we were kids.
for me.. all these memories pass me by quite fast... maybe it's because we've always been thinking and planning for the future....
as we are sitting here right now... most of us are planning what to do next.... what to do tomorrow and the day after... writing it down in our diaries.. PDA.. computers.. and so on... so when the time comes it is considered done and is put into the past... the present is always a very short period as we are always thinking of the future in the present.
hehe.. what ever that is i was saying... i guess it's too complicated for us to really think about it.
as an intro for this blog.... I'll just let u guys know that I'll be writing things that i remembered that happens to me in the past... good memories that actually makes me the person i am today. There's a saying "A nation that forgets their history has no future".
