(Nothing to do with Sri Lanka.. but who cares!)

Men will literally masturbate next to you on the bus and other passengers will say you were asking for it

Looks like I'm not going to get around to writing the long post about how I moved out of Sri Lanka and how the grass is greener in Australia and stuff.

I think I've already mentioned it but I'm currently "working my notice" so to speak with Mimosa, the funksters.I've never been through this before and it's an interesting experience. I decided to leave them because of various things, most of which I do...

My new, my first and my only stalker, apart from Dinidu, goes by the name of Soixante Neuf. The more cosmopolitan among you will know that Soixante Neuf is German for a sausage and a furry cup or, as we say here in England, a 69. It's best not to say t...

It is with a generous dollop of trepidation that I bring you this post. I've been dwelling on the positives and negatives of sharing this story with the Sri Lankan blogosphere for a number of reasons and a number of weeks. Finally, I've concluded that ...

About a week ago I decided, on a bit of a whim, to go for a massage, something I rarely do in this country. I mean the massage, not the decision making bit.There's a Thai massage and reflexology type of place that's opened up a few local branches latel...

As I lie here in my bed unable to sleep I thought I'd chuck out a couple of random questions that have been floating around in the Rhythmic head lately:1) - How many pairs of jeans should a person have? I mean "active" ones, that is, ones that you woul...

Shhhh...Keep this to yourself but I noticed on my stats that I yesterday I had a hit from someone at NASA. That's the proper NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Association, not some other tinpot agency masquerading under the same initials.The mo...

Cerno's rather excellent post, about being cool, reminded me of what can only be described as the best company name ever. I've seen this company's van, or vans, a few times and therefore I know they're for real.It must be the best company name ever. Do...

But it seems as if the rest of the world wants to.Here in Blighty the average woman spends 78% of her income on tanning products and skin stuff. It's true, I read it in the paper, the one that also said 98% of all statistics are wrong.White skinned wom...

Back in the day when Java and Cinemod were young lads the term R B meant something very different to what it does these days. When most of you bloggers were mere sperms in the apple of your father's eye, when digital was a type of watch that hadn't b...

13.The One About Joey, Chandler, Ross, Phoebe, Rachel, Monica and Lakbima (londonlanka.blogspot.com)
I like Lakbima News. It's taken me some months to accept this but I feel it's for my own good. Accept it, embrace it and move on.Despite the past, despite the spurious and well documented practices of publishing many of us Sri Lankan bloggers' scribbli...

Dinidu put out an APB and I'm touched by his concern and care. I'm still here and have been quite busy doing bits and pieces. I'll tell you all, well some of all, not that 5% that I reserve for special people. And by "special" I don't mean the ones who...

Was how it made me feel.What?Well lately I've been on a bit of a health drive. Nothing drastic, I'm not doing marathons, or Snickers as they're now called, I'm not going to the gym every day or doing anything overboard. All I'm trying to do is to eat a...

I read a hell of a lot. And it may not surprise you.I'm quite the voracious reader. From drumming magazines to gadget magazines to novels to self help books, I devour them with the appetite of one of you lot at Hikka fest at about 6.12 AM.I also don't ...

Sshhhh.... it's oh so quiet, as Bjork would say in her Icelandic tones, though I don't know if she's a Kottu regular. She probably checks in once a week or something, in between albums and buying mad outfits.It's all rather quiet at the moment. Everyon...

When I was a child a globe was one of those round things with coloured bits on it. I'd occasionally glance at one and show a spot of passing interest in the way the whole of South America would fit in the west side of Africa. If only we could slide it ...

I can't remember exactly where but I do recollect saying that it wouldn't surprise me if K made a profit from the holiday to Sri Lanka.I went to collect the girls the other night for our Wednesday evening. K said that she just had to run upstairs and g...

Had a weird feeling this Monday morning when not many cars were out and about. Something was not right. Got some sms last night to be alert today. Never got those before. Was almost done getting through the day when we heard the blast in Dehiwala. It w...

No one's tagged anyone, that's nice, particularly as it means Java won't get all annoyed and angsty when he gets tagged.But people are doing it, here's my list:I remember - a time when being Sinhalese or Tamil wasn't relevant, when being Sri Lankan in ...

I'm pretty happy with moving some common Java libraries out of the project source folders.
I have about 4 branches of the same project checked out. Each of them were about 57mb a piece. I noticed this while I was trying to sync my projects to a remote ... -
Someone said to me last week that I should write a book about how it is to get divorced and deal with everything from a father's point of view. I have no plans to do this for a few reasons, not least is that there are bookshelves of such books out ther...

I heard good things about Firefox 3. Now that I've got Ubuntu 8.04 I thought I'd try a few commands.
1. Get the places database
2. open with sqlite
3. query the bookmarks tablecp .mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/places.sqlite .

Sri Lanka has such an abundance of good music and musicians in so many styles and varieties. From the point of view of a drummer there can be few countries that are better. We've got the lot, from all the traditional Sri Lankan drumming to the modern d...
