The person making the building plans and BOQ for the buildings in Mullaitivu (Tudor) will be coming over later today to present his stuff. Kunju, Jacob and Jeevan are leaving to India tomorrow for 10 days so this project will probably get started when they return. If possible I’ll see if [...]
People who have studied the SDLC (Systems Development Lifecycle) know that the first (and probably the most important) phase of any project is the “Analysis” phase. You don’t just suddenly jump into something. You have to carefully, calmly, review the situation, make some choices and come up with your game plan. [...]

Our driver took the Puttalam road last night after we repeatedly told him not to take it. The road was terrible. This was by far the bumpiest ride we’ve had; the bumps often lifted us out of our seats. When I saw a couple of the buses go by, [...]
I checked my Sitemeter report this morning and noticed that I had 150 visitors today. I thought this was some kind of glitch because that’s about 5 times the normal amount of visits I get per day. It seems I was linked from the main news page of infolanka.com as “Blog: Traveling [...]
My foot is swollen and I’m still limping around. NOT fun. I can’t seem to come back to Colombo from my travels without getting sick or injured!! lol Lessons learned: Don’t eat the food in the little “rest stops” en route and don’t run down mountains in the dark at odd [...]
