Sinhala Firefox 3 Success Story

As a nation we are very happy to see Sinhala Unicode is spreading & people making use of it. Thanks to the Sinhala Unicode, now Sri Lankans can access web using a Sinhala web browser, that’s one & only Sinhala Firefox.

In this success story, only one man was there behind the scene. His name is Danishka Navin. Personally I know how he worked day & night for on behalf of all Sri Lankans who are willing to access web in their own mother tongue.

But after seeing those articles & news, I realize that ICTA is trying to get the credit of doing this along with University of Moratuwa & Danishka is totally thrown away.

We should appreciate Danishka for this invaluable work & if he wasn’t here there won’t be any Sinhala Firefox.

So Danishka this is my appreciation for the tremendous work you did for the NATION!

PS: Special thanks to Chamara, who gave me rights to publish his post in my blog. :)

Here's Malinthe's blog post on the same matter.

Video Uploading in Blogger

On 24th August Blogger has launched Video uploading, to make us "Video Bloggers"... ;o)

Here I am posting my first video blog post... oh yeah, I didn't have a time to video my own face... LOL But I could find this video in my messy personal folder at office.

පසුගිය අගෝස්තු 24 වැනිදා Blogger විසින් වීඩියෝ අප්ලෝඩින් පහසුකම් සපයා ඇත. මේ දැක්වෙන්නේ ඒ දුටු ක්ෂනයෙන්ම ඇතිවූ ආසාව නිසා දමන වීඩියෝවකි.

Google Browser Sync

ගූගල් මගින් ලබාදෙන තවත් සුවිශේෂ මෙන්ම වඩා ප්‍රයෝජනවත් උපාංගයක් ගූගල් බ්‍රව්සර් සින්ක්. මෙමගින් ඔබේ ෆයර්ෆොක්ස් බ්‍රවුසරය හැම තැනම ගෙනියන්න පුළුවන්. වඩා පැහැදිලිව කියනවා නම්, ඔබේ බුක්මාර්ක්ස්, හිස්ට්‍රි, කුකීස් සහ සුරැකූ රහස් පද පවා ඔබ යන සෑම තැනමදීම ඔබේ ගූගල් ලියාපදිංචිය හරහා භාවිතා කළ හැක. මේ සඳහා අවශ්‍ය වන්නේ ෆයර්ෆොක්ස් බ්‍රව්සරයත්, එහි ගූගල් බ්‍රව්සර් සින්ක් ඇඩ්-ඕන් ලෙස ස්ථාපනය කරීමත් පමණි.

නිවසේදීත්, කාර්යාලයේදීත් එකම ෆයර්ෆොක්ස් පරිසරයක් සකසා ගැනීමට මෙගින් හැකිවනු ඇත.

Call & tell what you want to Search!

Google Labs annouced their latest beta innovation on 6th of April, 2007.

You can call on the given number and tell what you want to search for...! Isn't it amazing...? It's called Google Voice Local Search. But Unfortunately it's only working in US. :(



How ever... we'll look forward to see this without any "beta" tags below the logo very soon... (Unlike Gmail, which is still carrying "beta" tag, even after 2 years)

Sinhala Unicode Online Keyboard

I found this smart effort by UCSC (University of Colombo School of Computing), through සිංහල යුනිකෝඩ් සමූහය in Google Groups. It's an ONLINE KEYBOARD to type Sinhala Unicode. Simply you can type Sinhala with your mouse and copy to the clipboard to paste it anywhere else. That's really useful for any one who hasn't install proper Unicode software to type Sinhala.

OK , more NEW from Google...

Don't think that I'm gonna wright in this blog all about Google but nothing else. But anyway... :) Just to mention Google's new releases...


Google has released a software (based on Flash, i think) called "Google Video" which relates with Google Video search, and can run online Google Video results through it. It's real faster and have used cool technology as always. :) But i don't find anyplace to download this software, except in Google Pack.


This is something I really like and useful, and has everything which you needed... Google Finance. The technology they've used is amazing, Flash combined with many others, its reallt fast, unique and very very useful...


Last but not least, in Google labs also you can find some new projects going on.



I have no idea about Google Dashboard Widgets, cos it's for Mac only. :( unfortunately i dont have a Mac with me.

Google Mars.... it's some thing made just for fun of the Google developers.. i guess... ;)

Google Page creator should be something really cool, but i couldn't experience it yet, cos when i log in, it says "Sorry, we are unable to offer new accounts today." So... bad luck yet...
