New Kelani Bridge | නව කැළණි පාලම | "කල්‍යාණි රන් පිවිසුම" Drive Through video Night & Day

New Kelani Bridge or නව කැළණි පාලම or "කල්‍යාණි රන් පිවිසුම" or Kalyani Golden gate is the newset road/ bridge addition to Sri Lanka's Road network.


<

It was identified that crossing Kelani river is the biggest obstacle to motorists and main bottleneck in Colombo or Sri Lanka road network.

This bridge is a suspention bridge and the drive through feels like your are driving on a developed foreign country for a moment.

I used to take this route daily for work and it was a hell indeed on Mondays and Fridays, taking up to 45 minutes in extreme jams. Now, less than 3 minutes.

Following are the videos taken on the morning and the evening on the first day it was fully opened to public ( 26th November 2021)






Sri Lanka & Consumer Rights

In 2019, I have purchased a Solar System. During the purchase the vendor was bragging about the German inverter and how good it was. Their website and Facebook pages, Quotation, all directly states or implies that their inverter is MADE IN GERMANY. However, After fixation, I saw a sticker on the side of the inverter saying it is made in China. So I tried to sort this out with the Vendor. after going around in circles, I made a complaint to the Consumer Affairs Authority of Sri Lanka. It Goes as this
01. I have obtained a Solar System from {vendor name redacted}. Before and during purchase, the Sales team and Company's brochures stated that their Inverter is a "German". This was the main sales pitch and I choose them over less priced quotations mainly because of this. After the installation, it took nearly 4 months to get CEB approval because of a faulty inverter and during this time, I noticed the Manufacturer's sticker attached to the inverter states that it is "Made in China". Then I have realized that Have been deceived by {vendor name redacted}. I tried to resolve this issue with them over email/ telephone conversation, but all actions were in vain. (please see below for the email correspondence with the vendor. I have also attached the brochure they have sent me which includes a certificate obtained from Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA/SBS/XXXXX), and other screenshots stating this is a German Inverter.

 

02. Further to this, in their proposal Page 19, Routine Maintenance, they state that they perform two services per year. To this date, there have been none performed by them.

 

03. (Proposal Page 19, Routine Maintenance) It states System troubleshooting/ debugging will be carried out continuously by {vendor name redacted} Ltd using SMA Sunny Portal. With remote monitoring via internet using the SMA sunny Portal and associated hardware, it has been enabled for adverse trends and problems to be spotted and rectified remotely. There was a partial breakdown and reduction in energy production after the system installation. They have attended to this ONLY after I have noticed this by myself though production decrease, called them several times. This took roughly about one month, during I have lost potential energy production.

 

I feel my rights as a consumer has been violated and this vendor may have misled many consumers like me, and continue to do so in the future. Hence, please take necessary actions to prevent this type of misconduct.

 

Then There was a preliminary hearing. after two months I sent this to Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA)

 

Regarding the captioned complaint and subsequent meeting held on 2020.10.06, it was agreed that {vendor name redacted} will look into the possibility of procuring a German Made Inverter. Since more than two months past now, would like to know if there is any updates regarding the matter.

Then nothing happened for a year.

Then There was a Inquiry. At that the vendor's representative kept going in circles stating this mother company is in German so all the products, no matter the actual place of making, can be considered as German.
 

More details on next post.... cont.

To keep your Vista running at Top Notch Speed ...

All credit to BandofSeven of Warez-BB

Disclaimer
The Following are some tips and tricks to boost the vista speed. SOme tested some aren't. Try at your own risk



The single biggest irritation in Windows Vista is the UAC (User Account Control) system, especially for people that do a lot of tweaking. When you are trying to make configuration changes, it seems like every couple of seconds you are hitting another UAC prompt.

1) Disable UAC Entirely

Open up Control Panel, and click on User Accounts. You'll see a link for "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off": Turn this off and reboot.



2)Registry Fix's:


Add Take Ownership to the Context Menu in Vista
Add Copy To Folder and Move To Folder to the Context Menu in Vista
Add Group Policy Editor to Control Panel in Vista
Add DiskCleanup to Right-Click Menu for a Drive
Add Control Panel to the Desktop Right-Click Menu in Vista
Test your Boot Speed
Louder Vista Sounds
Speed up the Menu Show Delay Time in Vista
Speed Up Shutdown in Vista

Image
Image
Image

Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/236253955/Reg_Addons_2.rar





3)Remove Optional and Probably Unnecessary Windows Vista Components

In the never-ending quest to rid your computer of unnecessary bloat, Windows Vista has a lot less options than prior versions, but you can still get rid of some of the extra Windows components that you don't need.

Open up Control Panel and go to the Programs and Features section. Find the link for "Turn Windows features on or off"

This dialog is quite self-explanatory… uncheck the things you don't want, and hit the OK button. Depending on the version of Vista you are running you might not see everything in the list.

Guidelines, Not Set In Stone

Just to get you started, here's a few tips on what an average user might want to enable or disable. The rules will be different for everybody, depending on your applications and needs, so don't take these as absolute.

Image
Image
Image




4)Get back/Increase 20% of your Bandwidth in Vista.

For Vista Ultimate 32/64 bit Versions Only.

I dont know if this is known but you can turn off the bandwidth microsoft reserves for its own usage such as background updates and patches. Even though you see it greyed out or not set it has a hidden settings default value of 20%.

I like the full usage of my bandwidth so this firstly click Start / Run / Type in, GPEDIT.MSC



Image


GPEDIT.MSC

then a Group Policy Object Editor will popup.

Under Local Computer Policy

click or expand Adminstrative Templates

next click or expand Network

then click on Qos Packet Scheduler (remember dont click on the expander here just click on Qos Packer Scheduler)

Now double click Limit reservable bandwidth

(You will see Not configured which is the default settings but in reality Vista has already taken 20% of your bandwidth to reserve for updates and stuff like that.)

Now click on Enabled then in the Bandwidth limit (%) set it to 0 then click apply then reboot.





5)Defragment your Hard Disks Daily..Defragment Your System Files (Pagefile and Registry)at least once a week in Vista


Raxco Perfect Disk 10 Professional


I myself think Raxco Perfect Disk 10 Professional is the best on the market.


Image


7)Enable High Performance in your power and HHD Settings.
Image
Image


1)Right click on desktop/personalize/Screensaver/Change power settings/High Performance.
2)Right click Computer/properties/Advanced System Settings/Hardware/Device Manager/expand Disk drives/right click on your hard drive/properties/Policies/Enable advanced performance.




8)Manage your Start up Applications.

start/Run/msconfig/


Image


To ckeck out what services are running on automatic and started.

1)Start/Run/services.msc find a app right click and choose Properties/ change to what ya like.

Now if you stoped a service or app from running at start up, It's service could still be running , so look at witch settings are set to Automatic and change the ones you want to manual.

Image


10) Disable or Enable the Transient Multimon Manager (TMM) in Vista


Information:

Transient Multimon Manager (TMM) is a Microsoft Windows Vista operating system feature
targeted at improving the user experience of connecting and disconnecting displays,
particularly for the mobile user. This is the 2-3 second delay followed by a blank black
screen as Vista searches for monitor changes when you startup Vista. For more information
on TMM, see: Microsoft: Transient Multimon Manager (TMM)


NOTE:

TMM is enabled by default in Vista. Disabling TMM will get rid of that 2-3 second delay at
startup.


WARNING:

If you do not use a external monitor for a mobile PC or multiple monitors on a desktop PC,
then you can safely disable TMM. Do not disable TMM if you do.





1. Open the Start Menu.

A) Click on All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Task Schedular.

B) Go to step 2.

OR

1. Open the Control Panel (Classic View).

A) Click on Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.

2. If prompted, click on Continue in the UAC prompt.

3. In the left pane, expand Task Scheduler, Task Scheduler Library, Microsoft, Windows,
and click on MobilePC. (See screenshot below)

4. In the middle pane, right click on TMM.

5. To Disable TMM -

A) Click on Disable.

B) Go to step 7.

6. To Enable TMM -

A) Click on Enable.
NOTE: TMM is enabled by default in Vista.


7. Close Task Scheduler.

8. Logoff and logon, or restart the computer to see the change.



11)AND MOST IMPORTANT !!!!!

Make A Complete PC Back Up Using Only Windows Functions and Perfect Disk:

When you get your pc where ya want it do as follows:

Right click on Computer , Start / Computer/ Right click hit manage/ Disc Management/


Image


Forgot to add a good size for your back up drive is 45 GB: Just to be on the safe side. You can go bigger and store movies / music / whatever It's your choice. By the time I'm done installing everything back on my PC it's close to 41 GB. So better larger than smaller, I hate that not enough space error. Another tip is to clean temp files and delete all but last restore point before making a complete back up.


Now go to start / all programs / Accessories/ System Tools/ BackUp Status and Configuration /


Image


90% of PC users dont know how to do a complete PC backup.. I just read, so I hope this will save ya alot of trouble.

No third party software needed, taking up your drive space and alot of software will cause your pc not to boot..

Boot from the disk you made above , keep hitting F12 key continually , then boot from dvd rom drive. Repair your computer / then fing com/ pc backup option..

Vista Ultimate is great all it needs is some TLC with a few tweaks..

Hopefully this will help somebody!

I Spent alot of time on this I hope you EnJoy...



12) OPPS Forgot this one, set your page file to recommended value before you defrag your system files.

Start / right click computer/ properties / advanced system settings / advanced / performance settings / advanced / virtual memory change / set both to recommend value

The Punnishment

So there's this fella with a parrot. And this parrot swears like a sailor. I mean he's a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself.
Trouble is, the guy who owns him is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy.
One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT !".
But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever.
Then the guy gets mad and says, "OK for you", and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravates the bird, and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make a veteran sailor blush.
At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer. For the first few seconds, there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws and thrashes. Then it suddenly gets very very quiet.
At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that he opens up the freezer door.
The bird calmly climbs onto the man's outstretched arm and says: "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."
The man is astounded. He can't understand the transformation that has come over the parrot. Then the parrot says, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"

India, Sri Lanka, LTTE and Mumbai Attack

As all Sri Lankans, I despite these terrorist attacks on India. It isn't the time for calculating aftermath and point fingers at one another. All people and nations to join hands and fight against ruthless terrorists.

I think It demonstrated all of us why all kind of terrorists should be eliminated. There won;t be a more great time to work hand in hand to eliminate terrorisms in all the world.

I think some Indian politicians whom were trying to help terrorists like LTTE and interfere with Sri Lankan infernal affairs will feel how we (lankans) are suffering from terrorism and why we want to end this war. It is easy to say that LTTE should be given a second chance( or rather fifth or sixth chance). But did India invite the terrorists who came to attack Mumbai to Peace talks? Even once?

Terrorists are terrorists. They won't do any good to anyone but themselves. Either they were in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan or USA.

How to remove nofollow from Bloggs

The following was retrieved from http://www.earnblogger.com/how-to-remove-nofollow-from-blogger/ and it works :)


Almost all blogging software or platforms automatically adds the “nofollow” attribute to all user generated links. It is done to discourage Comment Spam in blogs. But is not friendly for all! And I know that many of us want to remove it, to show our love to the community. Today, let us talk about the Blogger blogging platform. You can easily remove the “nofollow” from your Blogger blogs (blogspot blogs), by a simple modification of your existing template. Read on to know more!

User generated links means links in comments and backlinks or trackbacks. Remove and handle your blog links responsibly. Never give spammers a chance to use your blog for spamming. Mind it, “nofollow” is for spammers and “dofollow” or “no-nofollow” is for bloggers!

How to remove nofollow from Blogger Blogs?

  • First, backup your Blogger template. You can do it from the Template>Edit HTML section of your dashboard.
  • After completion of your backup, check the “Expand Widgets” box in your “Edit Template” area. It will expand your template.
  • Now do a search for “nofollow” in your template. Use Ctrl+F, type “nofollow” in the “Find Box” and hit enter. It will highlight the term in your template code.
  • This search will show you two results - one for Backlinks and another for Comments. Look below! The results should be something like this.

rel=’nofollow’> (for backlinks)

nofollow1.jpg
rel=’nofollow’> (for comments)

nofollow2.jpg

  • Decide which you want to remove. I would recommend that you must not remove it from the backlinks. Because you don’t have control over your backlinks and they may came from spam blogs!
  • To remove nofollow from blog comments, go to the highlighted section of your template code (rel=’nofollow’>) and simply delete the rel=’nofollow’ portion.
  • Press “Save Template” button to save your blog template.

Using or not using “nofollow” depends on you. Mind it, this simple attribute helps in reducing comment spam. If you have removed “nofollow” from your blog, please moderate all your blog comments. And try not to remove “nofollow” from your backlinks.

Forwading Chain Mails


It seems that people are replying and forwarding a lot of chain mails. (chain mails are those mails that say forward this and you will get phones, prizes... forward and a poor person will get 3 cents ... etc.)

Please do not do this because those mails are 100% Hoax/ bogus mails. They can't track whether you forward this mail nor Yahoo/Google wont give anything to anyone for forwarding this. Only a originated IP address can be traced back not the forwarded details. Even that is done in very serious situations like threating or false mails about important people/companies. As a IT person I know this for a fact and I even did some digging to be 100% sure.

The only thing you do by forwarding these kind of mails are..

1. Show you that you can be fooled easily :p

2. Give away your e-mail addresses to a chain mail. and later a receiver will get hundreds of forwarded e-mail addresses in the mail. After that they can start spamming and hacking your accounts.

3. Annoy your friends with filling their inbox with these kind of msgs and other spams.

So Guys, Pleas think twice before you fall into these scandals ....

Xubuntu 8.10 .rar Download links





Xubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system, using the Xfce desktop environment. Xubuntu's goals are to "provide an easy to use distribution (...) with a focus on integration, usability and performance, with a particular focus on low memory footprint (...) based around the ideals and values of Ubuntu." Because the Xfce desktop environment uses fewer system resources, Xubuntu is often used on older computers or systems with limited resources.

Knight Rider.e 06 - Knight of the Living Dead

watched episode 06

but it was not “Knight fever” but “Knight of the Living Dead” :o It wasn’t there to download on the regular date but on the other day. I thought it skipped another day cos of election.

Nice episode. KITT is showing more and more human like thing and I felt really sorry when “he” was getting ready for his “death”. He clearly denies his creator’s request/order to download his files like a stubborn boy.


Mike: “Next time calculate faster”
KITT: “where you injured”
Mike: “Noo..”
KITT: “Then my calculations were fast enough” ROFL :lol:

There are some inconsistencies of the episode though. one is I though KARR (Knight Auto Roving Robot) was a regular car shaped thing which Michael Knight destroyed by forcing it to pull out of the course of a face to face chicken drive. (it was resurrected and killed again) But the images KITT shows to Mike is a thing like a robot with wheels :o Aw, Are they going to introduce a Megatron or Maximus PRiME like transforming robot.. KOOOL.

Another good hint given was the Mike felt some connection with KARR. Did Mike worked in KARR project. Is that what the Alex Torres (FBI agent) is hiding from Mike.

And the audio fingerprint is visualized :o that sucks. If they show that though a goggle or a screen, we can accept that. But spray painting the air, gimme a break :p

And the password inputted to the KITT “LEARNS ALON..” or something is not password masked :o Even I knows you have to mask and hide passwords behind asterisks (**) :lol:

Why Dr. Grayman and Zoe weren’t killed? from what were they shot at?


Aw, from whole 42 minutes were excellent entertainment.

Email + Messaging.. All in One Programme

Email + Messaging.. All in One Programme


Since Yahoo was so popular back then and now everybody is moving to Gmail, most of the people these days have more than one e-mail account. Yahoo, Google, MSN ...etc.

This gets really bad when it comes to chatting/ Instant Massaging (IM). You have to install or keep few browser windows open to be able to see all your contacts. What about FaceBook and other social communities ?


Things could get really complicated and your machine could waste lots of resources if you want to stay online with many accounts.

There are a few programs and web sites that can help you out in a scenario like this. To name a few Meebo,

The most useful and feature full one I've found out is Digsby. It a little software that can manage you e-mail accounts, Instant messaging plus social networks like FaceBook and myspace. You get pop and sound alerts for new messages, notifications in facebook. It will make your life easier.
Full feature set...

Woman's Way Vs Man's Way

Woman's Way: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

Mans Way: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

==========================================

Womans Way: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Mans Way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato, keep it in the fridge for up to a year.

==========================================

Woman's Way: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Mans Way: Go to the bakery, They'll even decorate it for you.

==========================================

Woman's Way: If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant fix.

Mans way: If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Go to McDonalds

==========================================

Woman's Way: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Mans Way: Celery? Never heard of it.

==========================================

Woman's Way: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

Mans Way: The frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.

==========================================

Woman's Way: Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Mans Way: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!

==========================================

Woman's Way: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Mans Way: Go ask that cute babe next door if she can open it for you.

==========================================

Woman's Way: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Mans Way: Leftover wine???????????
