Changing My Blog to dimuthu.org

So I m moving my blog again. It is not back to here. Instead it is to my own domain and own space.

Visit http://www.dimuthu.org for my new blog and the web site.

It is still a new. and I m hoping to upgrade and update it as regular as possible. Hope you too join me in new place.

Good Bye WordPress!!

So its been few months I m blogging here, But I think I should go back to my old blog in Blogspot. The main reason I fed up with WordPress is it is too inflexible, we are not allowed to edit HTMLs of our templates. And there are some other reasons which I blogged in my come-back blog in the Blogspot.

So I did some fair amount of blogs in here, And I found I m having fair number of visitors as well. So it s no doubt wordpress is really great, but just not good enough for me. So GoodBye wordpress!! (Hope we meet again;)

Moving Back To PHP

So we hit the WSO2 WSF/Ruby 1.0.0 release meeting the deadline in time without any problems. So now it is the time to wait for people to use it watching how they respond, and fix problems and improve functionality accordingly. Until that I m moving to the WSO2 WSF/PHP which already have a well-established community.

Few months ago before starting WSF/Ruby project, I did some simple things with WSF/PHP like writing demos and sample apps and now it is the time to go much deeper into that. In next few months I ll spend most of the time listening to the community, helping them, writing blogs, articles and most importantly writing demo applications to test our own code. This would be a big test for me, but I think I like doing that. Meanwhile I make sure I have some time to go into codegen JIRAs as well.

So hope to meet you in many blogs in future. Happy reading blogs!!

First trip in the year

Well I m really bad in going trips, and finally managed to go one and it was really a great one too.

The trip was to visit the waterfall ‘Hath-Maale Alle’ (means for 7-steps waterfall) near Deniyaya (A suburb in southern province of Sri Lanka).

I took some photos from my phone-camara. Although they were not in the best of quality, it is enough to give some idea how wonderful it was. I uploaded some of them in flickr (Just click here to see my photos). And this is my first uploading to the flickr too.

Ubuntu

I installed Ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon. It helped me to install drivers for my wireless and vga cards even from proprietary vendors without any trouble. And it s getting really great day by day. It has made a situation where any window user can come to Linux without much problem.

No wonder why Ubuntu is so much popular, http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+red+hat%2C+fedora%2C+suse%2C+debian

Checklist for Formatting Hard disk

Today the whole day I prepared to format the hard disk. Since I have access to internet I don’t need to think twice before doing this kind of things anymore. But there are few things I should not miss.

• Commit the changes done to all the svns
• Backup my_works directory
• Backup .gaim, .m2 and .mozilla-thunderbird directories and .vimrc
• Export the browser bookmark and backup somewhere
• Backup the tests folder, this is where I write simple tests for any problem, More than half of the work per day is done inside here.
• Delete films, fun directories. Well it will automatically get deleted.
• Backup documents that I downloaded from the web, when I didnt have regular access to internet, Better take them safe somewhere.
• Backup www directory. This time I already mis-deleted it.
• What else?

I think that’s it. Most important thing is to backup whatever the work I done, they can never be recovered otherwise. Hope I have done everything ok.!

living in Wireless

The first dates I was in the CSE department,  I remember  our  senior boarding mate sumith  ayya was installing wireless network on the department building, and asked us to see how it is configured. That should be hardware based wireless access points which are most probably configured using HyperTerminal. (Actually I can’t remember is that so, since they all seemed Greek to me by that time.) I remember when he said ‘You can connect to internet within any part of the buiding’ it didn’t mean anything to me. But today I have access to wireless network in my office, my boarding place and my home. Yea, I just installed a wireless router in my home without any trouble. It s really cool to have wireless, I hope I can watch tomorrow cricket match with my laptop aside surfing some internet, (hopefully writing some blogs) in breaks.

Professional Patrice

In the final semester of the university, we had a subject called Professional Patrice. And it s been few weeks, that I knew I had an A+ for the subject. Well When I first hear the result of that i did take time to believe it, because it was a subject I didn’t much like, and most importantly I m not much good at remembering those rules enforced to an IT Proffessional in their.

Is that what they told really important? May be I am still new to be a Professional, I will learn as time goes.

First blog in the wordpress

Hi from my new wordpress blog. This is like a restart than a continuation of my old blog http://dimuthuc.blogspot.com/. That is simply because I have not much done blogging in past. So here I m not going to promise I will do lot of blogging in future.
