WTF?
In case if you guys have noticed McDonalds don’t have any of the beef meals these days. This has been the case for about a month now. When asked both Kolpity and Rajagiriya restaurants said they don’t have stock of the beef slices. For a day or two I can believe that … but for a month … I’m not stupid... Read More...

FIFA 2010
I’m (was?) not a big football fan but watched many world cup matches during the last 4 weeks. Head is still on echo mode after hearing that Vuvuzela for so long. At time it sounded very annoying but then again the tune in the entire FIFA 2010 was that. Wonder how a normal football match will look and... Read More...

Driving reckless like an ***!
No not me. I only drive fast. Never like an ***. If you are driving you’ll understand what I’m saying here and I’m pretty sure that you already understand that driving is not an easy task when there are plenty of *** in the road. Let me explain … There are plenty of obvious kinds of idiots like … who... Read More...

Out of the blues ... who the hell is Alice!
Just checked the IMDB All-Time Box Office: World-wide page and I'm surprised. Earlier I have written about the movies that generated a total sum of over a billion dollars. Since my last note on this couple of movies came so close to the big number and Avatar by James Cameron kicked ass on all existing... Read More...

Microsoft Security Essentials
I just uninstalled my antivirus software (too bad I had paid for it for 2 more years) and installed Microsoft Security Essentials . Installation was simple. Just a 7 MB download, and then the updates; all took only 5 minutes. It was worth the risk. It has already detected two major viruses that existed... Read More...

What’s wrong with open Source?
Technically absolutely nothing wrong with it! but on the other hand something seems not right. Now, don’t get confused or don’t get to the attack mode … this is not one of those “this one is better than the other one” kind of a post. I’m just writing based on a serious long discussion I had with a very... Read More...

BlogEngine.NET
When it comes to my blog I never wanted to use any of those ready made tools even though I knew those tools had everything needed and fully featured. All I wanted to do was to build it from the scratch ... just to feel good. I even started developing the second version ages ago but never got a chance... Read More...

Brazilian Churrasco and 'Api Nodanna Live!'
Last Sunday I went to the Lavinia Breeze with family to have dinner. Expectations were high as the advertising is good and more importantly I have been to a 'real' Brazilian restaurant when I was in LA last November. So wanted to have the Churrasco again. Experience @ the lavinia breeze was utterly... Read More...

Avatar …
James Cameron had done it again. Previously it was Titanic which stayed the top of the box office for a very long time with a whooping 1.8 billion dollar. And now it is Avatar … already grossed over 1.8 billion dollars, and already on the top of the list as the highest ever grossed movie and well on... Read More...

Don’t screw the Big Mac!
A Big Mac is one of the coolest creations of the fast food industry. OR in other words its one of the three kings of junk food. Other 2 are of course the Zinger from KFC and the Whooper from Burger King. Yesterday I went to McDonalds during lunch time to grab a quick bite and ordered my usual favorite... Read More...
