Yahooooooo! We got PayPal in Sri Lanka!

Yes, guys! Finally, PayPal supports Sri Lanka. I don’t need to remind you how much things sucked without it. But I was wondering, why hasn’t anyone blogged about it yet? Didn’t you guys know? It’s been a week already. Am I the only one who needed it? I’m sure I’m not. 😆 -SeeJay

Here’s the email where I got the news:

When you sign up for PayPal, you can start accepting credit card payments instantly. As the world’s number one online payment service, PayPal is the fastest way to open your doors to over 86 million member accounts worldwide. Best of all, it’s completely free to sign up! PayPal

Hi Guys!

I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you any new stuff last week, but I’ve got a good excuse for that! 😀 Guess what? I’m working on something new, something really fresh and full of spirit! I’ve got a lot to tell you… but I’m super busy right now. I’ll fill you in on everything within a few hours, and that’s a promise!

FirefoX RoX! here are some haX Part 1

Hi!

Remember how some folks complained that there’s no point in opening Firefox inside Firefox? 👿 Well, here’s a useful trick for you! 😀

You know what happens when you type a “word” into the Firefox address bar, right? Yep, it triggers a Google search for that “word.” For example, if you type “wordpress” in the address bar and hit Enter, Firefox will run a Google search for “wordpress.”

But what if you actually want to visit wordpress.com or wordpress.org? Here’s the trick!

First, open a new tab in Firefox by pressing Ctrl+T. Type “ANYTHING” in the address bar, then press Ctrl+Enter. It’ll automatically add http:// and .com taking you to http://www.ANYTHING.com.

If you press Shift+Enter, it’ll go to http://www.ANYTHING.net. And if you hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter, it’ll add http:// and .org, sending you to http://www.ANYTHING.org.

How cool is that? 😕 Okay, maybe not that cool, but I’m sure it’s handy!

Sri lanka Invaded the blogging world yesterday!

Please don’t think I’ve got a big ego, guys. But I’m soooo happy because of my blog stats! When I’m posting this, I’ve got 70,705 hits on my blog (check the top left-hand corner). Not bad for a humble Sri Lankan blogger, huh? My blog was the “Blog of the Minute” on WordPress.com for hours! That means it was the hottest blog around at the time. Believe me, buddies, it rocks!!! I’m still on the WordPress.com homepage under “Today’s Hot Blogs” :oops:. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you guys, I hit the number 1 spot on Digg.com’s Top 10 😀 yesterday!

Yes, I’m thrilled to have stats like these. I was a bit lazy about posting blog entries in the past, but a few days ago, I started posting again with fresh energy! I’m glad I did. I’m really thankful to the guys (and gals) who commented on my last post, and to all the other blog viewers. I’ll do my best to keep this blogging spirit alive. So, guys, watch out for some quality content!

C.J.

P.S.: Oh! And I was wondering, are there any Sri Lankan bloggers who’ve hit 50,000 or 100,000 stats? Or maybe some who’ve gone even higher? 🙄

You know that many of us spend lot of our computing time on the internet and most of that time we use Firefox tabs to open all our favorite sites and services inside Firefox right?, yes, Gmail inside Ff, Yahoo inside Ff, ebay inside Ff, Banking inside Ff ect. ect. ect… With all these favorites inside Firefox, How about opening Firefox inside Firefox? Not bad ha? and its really easy too! just type in this url in a new tab in Firefox and there you go! Firefox inside Firefox!

chrome://browser/content/browser.xul

Disclaimer: I guarantee that this will work with Firefox. But I have no responsibility of any damage that cause Internet Explorer users by Using this with IE to Open Firefox inside IE 😆

At last!

At last!
I’ve finally gotten myself into blogging. Ever since I entered the cyber world, I’ve been really good at reading blogs, but I never had one of my own. Even though there were lots of things happening in my crazy life, my busy lifestyle left me with no time to maintain a blog. Not that I was too lazy to post things 😉 I just never got around to it. But now, here I am, ready to share my life experiences with everyone.

I’m not planning to shout out a loud introduction about myself at this moment. I’ll let time introduce me as it flows. For now, all I’ll say is that I’m a 20-year-old guy who loves to live life free and cool. Not “free” as in free beer, nor “free” as in free software 🙂 Although I love FOSS, I absolutely hate it when people try to modify my “life source code.” It drives me nuts when that happens, and it’s definitely not good for those who try!

The reason I’m not introducing myself properly right now is, as usual, my lack of free time. And to make things worse, there are some special events coming up. Since “Free Software Day” is on the 16th of September, my worst best friend ChanuX and I, along with “Asa ha Naya” (check how it’s spelled), are planning to head to Colombo to join the LKLUG guys and spread the word of “freedom” across the mountains of our beautiful island. Our Linux guru, Ven. Ilgo, is planning to visit Peradeniya University to meet another monk and switch him to FOSS. So, ChanuX and I decided to use those free days to have some fun and meet other Sri Lankan FOSS users to see what’s happening outside our (cyber) world. Asanka and Nayomal (yes, you guessed it… Asahanaya!) also promised to join us, as they’re always happy to tag along.

Now, I’ve got to stop typing and head out into the real world to buy some essentials for our journey. I have a feeling the next few days will make me work like “Speedy Gonzales” because there’s so much to do in such a short time. I’ll try to post an update with the latest info as soon as possible. Until then, adios!

(P.S. I couldn’t post this earlier because I had issues with my internet connection. So, I’m posting this on Sunday evening after finishing our journey to Colombo. Check out my next post to hear all about it!)
