Google have been in the news over the last few days - with their release of a version of Google Search for China, which includes some inbuilt censorship.
In other old news, Google have officially released Google News, and implemented a delete button in gmail at last..

According the daily news, and other sources, some explosions occured yesterday night.
I guess most people here in Sri Lanka are somewhat nervous, to say the least, and I don’t really blame them.
If you notice, most Sri Lankan’s are not into extreme sports. The reason is, life in Sri Lanka IS an extreme sport. Just driving on the streets at the wrong time is usually enough to get you blown up - or half scared to death at least..
Unfortunately, I still remember all the hell Sri Lankans went through in the late 80s and early 90s and I sincerely hope history does not repeat itself.
So much for paradise..

Donald Trump is suing Timothy L. O’Brien (an NYT reporter) over a book he authored, which claims that Donald J. Trump’s net worth is, at most, a measely $250 million.
Donald is suing him for a total of 5 billion dollars (including punitive damages). Chances are, this is merely a publicity stunt on his part. Nevertheless, considering that he owns so many properties, its quite likely that his net worth is definitely more than 1bn, and most likely, as forbes estimates it, nearly 3bn.
Sri Lankan’s are familiar with Mr. Trump from his TV Series, The Apprentice, which recently premiered its first season on local TV.
Oh, and Trump has a web log here!

Welcome to the new version of my web site.
So I’ve decided to take the plunge and go Wordpress. Took me about 15 minutes including plugins and all. I think its working for now..
I had a major problem with categories/permalinks going crazy, but somehow it seems to have worked. Fingers crossed.
Do link to me and bookmark my site if you find it worthwhile.
