Hachiko, Euthanizing and Dog meat in China

2010-03-10T01:07:00.005-05:00

I am trying to relate few events and news that I experienced and read about during the last few weeks in this post. (Note: I am not trying to blame all the great people out there who really love their pets and take care of them.)

Few weeks ago I watched this sad movie (based on a true story) about Hachiko. There are lots of more stories like this regarding the loyalty and bravery of dogs helping their two legged masters. When I look at those I think Hachiko lives in all dogs although he is exceptional.

Towards to the ends of the semesters I have seen several advertisements in the local classifieds in the following general theme.

"Need to find a home for my pet dog. He is ... months old ... ... I am graduating soon .... so have to move to some other place, cannot take him with me... ... if i cannot find a good place for my sweet puppy I have to put him to sleep :((( "

This is something I cannot really understand. When coming to college or graduate school anybody know that it will be only few years that they going to stay there. So why do someone buy a pet when he/she knows that it is temporary thing? I think people who do this are really selfish.

After seen the above, I did a bit of search on this whole business of "Euthenizing". For my amazement it is not only used for astray animals it is used for old and sick animals who have homes too. The marketting goes like this " you can end the suffering of your beloved pet (now old or sick) in "humane" way by injecting a lethal chemical". They also claim that it is painless (not sure who check whether it is painless or not) and very fast too. Also they allow owners to spend some time with the dead dogs body for "humane" purposes.

Now the question is: Do they allow to do this for humans? I mean stop their suffering by killing them? Why do we have hospitals for sick and elderly people then? Every living thing like to live. The dogs will not ask you to euthanize but people so selfish (from my point of view) use it as an excuse to get rid of their pets. When you get a pet, you enjoy seen it grow and living with it, Then you have an obligation to help it with his old age as well. This is different to throwing your old TV to dustbin and buying a new one.

To make it more disturbing today I saw this news about the cat and dog meat market in China.
It might be the case in the past that Chinese people have nothing to eat and end up eating cats and dogs, but I am pretty sure that history of China has long gone. Now what is the justification of eating an animal who change their genes to live with humans thousands years ago.

One can argue that any animal can be a pet like fish or a rooster and then eating them is also bad. In a way it is a valid argument and I don't argue with them, but I haven't seen or read about any other animal who dial 911 to save the life of its master or fight with a deadly snake to protect the family knowing that it could end its life.

Overall, I think we all need to learn from Hachiko!

Success Stories from CSE

2010-03-10T01:00:00.002-05:00

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department of the University of Moratuwa is where i did my undergraduate studies and last month the department celebrated its 25th anniversary. Here are some of the sucess storeis from the students in the past.

The 31 Places to go in 2010

2010-01-27T21:28:00.003-05:00

New York Times has listed Sri Lanka (my home country) as the first place in its recommended list of 31 places to go in the year 2010.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/travel/10places.html

Sri Lanka is the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, but due to the past terrorist activities people lived there in fear. Last year our brave soldiers eliminated the terrorism from our country under the leadership of president Mahinda Rajapaksha, and today the people of Sri Lanka selected the same great president as their president for the coming 6 years. In addition, Sri Lanka was recently promoted as a second world country and listed as an emerging market by the IMF.

Most factors are in place for a better development of our country and hope we will continue to develop as a great nation again!!!

Changing Weather Patterns

2010-01-07T18:16:00.003-05:00

Just watched a news report showing the trouble caused by Snow in many part of the world. Europe, China, and even in India. In China people have died because of the harsh weather.

Although we don't have snow in my home country the weather patterns there have also seem to change. More rain and flooding and sometimes droughts. It seems that the weather patterns have shifted heavily during last few years.

I think it is time for all of us to act fast to prevent global warming.

Beautiful Sri Lanka - A paradise for sure

2009-10-07T11:37:00.001-04:00

Beautiful Sri Lanka.

Hope

2009-05-19T11:17:00.002-04:00

Today, our armed forces have eliminated the terrorism from my country. Many sacrificed their limbs and lives to achieve this. With all the destruction and the blood in war we can see hope, hope for the future generations. We should remember all who sacrificed their today to give us this hope forever. I think the above picture captures a lot of aspects of the mission ...

Swine Flu, Sri Lanka and the Media

2009-05-13T13:19:00.003-04:00

About three weeks back, most people were stunt by the Swine Flu outbreak and the news related to that. WHO raised the pandemic alert level to 5 calling it a widespread human infection. Most media started educating people, locating epi-center and identifying the patient zero and almost created a widespread panic. We realized this when one of my friend try to find a surgical mask because he planed to travel by plane. We could not find a single surgical mask in most of the pharmacies in Bloomington IN. Thanks to media people have already started preapring for a widespread flu outbreak.

However, after about a week of its start, the media has reduced its weight on the flu outbreak although still the threat is at level 5 according to WHO. Somehow the media has figured out ( or may be instructed) that creating a panic among people does not make any good to the situation.

In my openinon this movement of media is good although they created a big panic at the bigining. They educated people, they provide real infomation, then they regulate themselves and now following up the situation.

Now let's see what is happening in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is fighting with LTTE (a ruthless terrorist organization) for almost 3 decades. Now the democratically elected government has cornered the LTTE into 4 squre killometer piece of land. Although the finishing of the remaining terrorist gang is just a matter of few arial bombardments, Sri Lankan government does not do that because the terrorists is keeping several thousand people as hostages. So currently the governmetn forces are trying to rescue these civilians from the LTTE and conduct a humenatarian mission.

LTTE is a terrorist organization that has roots and connections in many western countries. International weapon dealers, latest colonization experts (Norway), people who think that Sri Lanka is still a colony of UK (Mr. Milliband) and many others try to intervene with this situation.

For most of the media organizations and the human rights group the war is a way of generating income. They need to have incidents to support their pay check. LTTE uses this fact to get as many media organizations and human rights groups into their side, by bribing them.

Sadly, LTTE has taken some of the prominent news agenceis also for a ride by placing insiders in those organizations. For example, this is what the Channel 4 news UK has done few days ago.

They got some video tape of few people talking about hardships in refugee camps in Sri Lanka.
Those people in the video tape does not even show their faces and also there is no video evidance on any of the claims they mention.

Channel 4 news without any investigation aired this tape causing an agitation among international organizations.

Al Jazeera is another media organization that did a similar idiotic broadcasts. Once they showed some photographs taken from a pro LTTE web site claming Sri Lankan forces have shelled a hospital. The photos they showed even had intact glass bottles on tables where they claimed to hit a shell. There were decorative trees in a place where they claim that a shell has hit. I cannot belive that these organizations does not know about shelling and the damage a shell would cause. They just ignore those and trying to create news.

CNN is conducting a poll raising the question "Should The International Community Intervene In Sri Lanka?"

So what does the results of this poll reveal? Don't they know that most people in Sri Lanka (who are the sufferes of the real situation) does not have internet? So most people voting "Yes" for the above questions are LTTE supporters living in western countries. There are some number of people would vote "No" but those are the minority in Western world.

Still I am waiting to see a respectable media report in this issue. The same media acted for the betterment of people in swine flue is now helping terrists to kill more people.

University of Moratuwa Tops the Google Summer of Code 2008

2008-05-13T02:20:00.003-04:00

It is truly amazing. This year, it is a total of 24 awards for the University of Moratuwa, where I did my undergraduate studies, and it is the rank one in the world!!!

Ms. Vishaka Nanayakkara (Head of the department - Computer Science and Engineering Department) has sent the following email which has all the details. So instead of repeating, let me paste it here.

=============
Dear all,
It is with greatest pleasure I let you know that University of Moratuwa has
become the Global Top University with Highest Number of Awards as well as
the highest number of applications in this year's Google Summer of Code. I
am certain that you will be very proud of the achievements of our students.

The information about this can be found at
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/05/this-weeks-top-10s-universities-for.html

CSE students started with one award 3 years ago and have bagged 18 GSoC
awards this year. There is one ENTC student and another first year student
from the Faculty of Engineering. With a total of 24 awards for the entire
University, University of Moratuwa has become the First in the entire world.

CSE students undoubtedly had a tremendous influence on this from Dr Sanjiva
Weerawarana. It was Sanjiva who first told them about this, it was his
guidance that led them to achieving the first award, it was his continuing
support (together with members of the FOSS community) which enabled them to
come this far. I think we at CSE owe him a lot for this great achievement.

I am certain that all of you as people who helped CSE come this far, members
of the CSE department industry consultative board, mentors, visiting
lecturers or well wishers of the department also have contributed in many
ways for the upbringing of our students and will be happy to share this
wonderful news with us.

Best regards,
Vishaka

Vehicle Accident - My Experience

2008-04-17T00:18:00.003-04:00

Last week my car was rear ended by another car while I was driving in a busy road. The speed limit of that road was just 25miles/hour and I can't believe how can someone just rear ended my car with the traffic at that time.

The vehicles were moving very slowly and suddenly I heard a big bang and my car went few feet to the front and sightly knock the car in front of me. The sound and the shock made me think that probably the entire trunk of my car is lost. Surprisingly, the only damaged part in my car was the raer buffer. However, the other person's car was badly damaged with all the air bags deployed and the radiator broken and causing lot of smoke.

Luckily nobody was hurt.

The driver of the car get down from the vehicle saying "I am sorry" and that simply removed the anger developing inside me towards that driver.

After that, for me, the procedure was very straight forward.
Got the police report
Call the other person's insurence Agent
Get a quotation from a repair shop
Give it to the insurance agent
Put the vehicle for repair
Use the rented car arranged by the insurance agent during the time my car is in garage
Bring the car home without paying a cent.

I know that it is too good to be true and many does not experience the same, but for some reason, that is exactly what has happened to me.

Still I am not sure what causes that person to hit my car. My only guess is he was distracted by something (most probably by his cell phone) and did not see me stopping at all. I came to this conclusion because of few observations I made.
I did not hear him breaking before the crash.
His left arm was slightly bruised, probably because he was holding his phone from that hand.
Even after the accident, he was getting lot of phone calls.

In any case, I have noticed that almost all the people drive with one hand on the cellphone. It seems like most of them can't drive without talking to someone over the phone. Even at color lights, it takes at least half a minute for some people to realize that the green light is on, simply because they are busy talking over the phone.

Hope they have some law prohibiting the usage of phone while driving as in my country Sri Lanka.

DOS 6.2 Windows 3.11 Bridgeport CNC Software BXX

2008-02-15T01:15:00.004-05:00

The title of this blog contains few of the legacy software that I had to configure to solve a problem faced by one of my friend. Let me explain my interesting experience with all these old softwares below.

The Requirement:

My friend(Fazni Aziz) has bought a CNC machine for his newly established company and it is working fine with a computer which is running DOS 6.2. The only interface that computer has is the floppy disk driver and he has to transfer all his design files in floppies in order to use them with the CNC machine. If he did any changes then the files have to be copied again using floppies. The process is really painstaking.
The only copy of the Bridgeport software that he has is the installed copy.
He wanted something like file sharing so that he can simply transfer files between this legacy machine and his laptop. (This was his goal)
He also suggested that we setup a different computer so that he can use the old computer till I get a new one setup.

Approach:

First I had to find the requirements for the Bridgeport software.
I decided to give it a try in my computer running windows XP.
I copied the required files as they were in the original computer and try running it in my computer. It did not work.

In the mean time a friend of my friend has suggested him using a virtual machine running DOS. So I setup VMWare and installed DOS6.22. Then I setup the Bridgeport software in the virtual machine. It did not work as well.

Then I decided to try the exact DOS version that the original computer has. That is DOS 6.2.
I got a copy of the hard disk of the original computer and an old computer(let's call this computer X).
I formatted the computer X for FAT16 file system. (Although I could not find any confirmation, this is one of the requirement for the Bridgeport software)
Then I copied all the files in the hard disk copy that I got to the hard disk of computer X.
Next, I use a DOS 6.2 boot disc to setup DOS 6.2 in the computer X.
This time for my amazement I was able to see the blue screen (The initial screen of Bridgeport software). Needless to say that it is working now!!!

One barrier is over, but now I have to setup file sharing.

One of my friend (Eran Chinthaka) gave me a valuable piece of information. That is Windows 3.1 can be installed on top of DOS 6.2 and it won't update the DOS version.

After searching on ebay, amazon etc... we were able to find a Windows for Workgroups( WFW) installation diskettes in ebay.

I installed WFW in the computer X on top of the DOS6.2. I have used WFW about 12 years back and that time it was really a big thing with the windows and mouse. This time it is the rescuer.
WFW supports file sharing for work group computers and hence we were nearing our goal.

Next hurdle is configuring a network card. (Computer X had a Realteck PCI network card but I could not find a driver for that for WFW)

From all the NIC's supported by WFW I found that SMC Elite 16 Combo card on ebay which supports 10 BaseT connections.

The disk came with the NIC card contained a software named EZStart.exe which supposed to help configuring the network card. However it did not work in our computer X. It simply could not identify the network card.

Luckily the disk contained another sofware named SMCA70.exe which extracts all the configuration files in it to different location. I use this and copied the configuration files to another floppy disk.

After several attempts I was able to configure the NIC card with WFW. However, still the network (TCP/IP) was not working and WFW does not support TCP/IP by default.
A Google search pointed me to this site where they have a TCP/IP version for WFW.

I installed it in the computer X and WOW!!! The computer X running WFW was able to connect to the network using DHCP.

Now the file sharing is just matter of enabling it using WFW and accessing them using any other machine in the same workgroup.

After a long battle the goal is now not a dream any more.

Bottom line:

The version of the Bridgeport software that we have: BOSS DX/32
So far we were only able to run this software on DOS6.2
Windows for Workgroups can be installed on top of DOS 6.2 without changing it.
With WFW we can configure file sharing.

This enabled my friend to do the following:

Design the parts(machine parts) on his laptop
Transfer those files to the computer X
Drive the CNC using computer X
If he notice any changes to be made to the design:
Stop the CNC
Access the file using his laptop (using file sharing) and modify the design
Start the CNC process.

I tried to explain some of the challenges that I faced during setting up the above computer and the software for my friend. Hope this helps someone trying to reach the same goal as him.

Unknown Unknowns

2007-11-21T14:10:00.000-05:00

Found this nice saying from Donald Rumsfeld in LSST web site, highlighting our knowledge on universes.

 "As we know, there are known knowns.
   There are things we know we know.
   We also know there are known unknowns.
   That is to say we know there are
   some things we do not know.
   But there are also unknown unknowns,
   the ones we don't know we don't know."

Lord Buddha said; " The subject of universe is infinite and only a Buddha can understand"
With unknown unknowns this is very true.

Fedora 7 Installation with a SATA Drive

2007-10-04T12:07:00.000-04:00

I tried to install Fedora 7 on a Dell machine with a SATA hard drive and it hangs after initrd just showing "Ready"

Tried both live CD and the DVD but both gave the same problem. Google search shows that the problem is a common one and there are many suggested solutions. I tried few, but this one got it working.
[when the computer has booted from the Fedora 7 DVD and "Welcome to Fedora 7" screen displays.
Press TAB and add edd=skipmbr at the tail of the line.Then it's OK.] link

After installing it successfully I got to know that IU students can install Redhat OS. Another linux installation, but I decided to go for it and it simply handled the SATA and everything is working fine.
IU also have a RHN Satellite update site for RedHat as well.

Trip to Champaign

2006-09-03T15:30:00.000-04:00

Yesterday we went to see a one of our friend who came to the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. Trip was about 165 miles (one way) and had to drive in few interstate roads. We were able to see one side of Indiana border as well.

And also I was able to break my land speed limit and the new record is 160 kmph. (My wife realized the speed after she took the photo and had to reduce immediately though :) )

A Trip to 19th Century - America

2006-07-01T22:46:00.000-04:00

Today we went to the “Corner Prairie” a living museum that resembles the lives of people lived in early 19^th century in the central part of the USA. I have never been to a live museum where people actually show the events of the day today life by living that life in the olden days rather than dummies or photos. It was a one day tour and just thought of highlighting few interesting incidents.

A preserved house from mid 19^th century.

Getting ready for the independence day ceremony. They are celebrating 60^th Independence day in 1837. They have never heard of the new world that we are seen today.

Doing carpentry in old way.

Look at the pots created by this lady at the left most corner.

Parade to celebrate the independence.

Some Interesting Dialogues:

A Villager: What do you study?
Me: Computer Science?
I have never heard about it, may be some complicated subject.
(I forgot that they are in 19th century and no computers at that time)

A Villager: Where are you from?
We: From Sri Lanka
He: Oh, how long did it take to come to America? probably few months?
(By that time no there were no planes and according to them we should have come by sea)

We: What are you going to cook tonight.
The Villager: My brother and father went to hunt something, probably we will have potatoes, peas and some meat.

A Villager: The slavery should be stopped in America.
We: Hope it will end soon.
(Now we also know how to act according to their behavior :))

There are many more incidents that we all remember and never forget during our trip to Corner Prairie and it is truly a history lesson with time traveling.

btw; One our way we saw this as well. (This is the first time I have seen this many Hummers - The photo captures only a few of them on sale)

Driving in US

2006-06-15T00:33:00.000-04:00

Just started driving in US after about 9 months break! Initially I thought getting used to driving in the "right" side (are we driving in the wrong side back home? ;) ) will be a problem but for my amazement it was not a big issue; mind switched fast. Still turn wiper on for the signals though :)

One interesting thing I noticed in my few weeks of driving experience is the role of "right-of-the-way". Back home we never cross a signal (even it is green for us) without looking both sides, but here people just assume that everybody obeys the rules (I am not certain about this assumption though) I am still scared to think what if some one just cross the signal when it is red. It will end up in multiple collisions as nobody is expecting it.

Anyway, having fun with missing exit points and coming back after a long way, turning around blocks to find roads and driving without touching the horn (it was an essential tool in the vehicle back home); a different experience after all.

What it means to be British

2006-03-05T21:03:00.000-05:00

This is interesting :)

" What it means to be British

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish
kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a
Japanese TV.

And the most British thing of all?

Suspicion of anything foreign."

A New Code Search Engine

2006-02-21T10:17:00.000-05:00

One of my friends, Nabil, pointed me to this news. Krugle, a new source search engine will be launched next month. It seems to support searching for code in open source world. It’s actually inline with the "true" open source movement but how about the Licenses?

Here is the link: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70219-0.html?tw=rss.index

Free SVN Account at svn dude

2006-02-17T19:50:00.000-05:00

I and my partner were thinking of setting up a svn repository for our class project. However setting up a svn was not that possible with the access rights that we have in the university servers. Then we found this CVS dude that allow free svn repositories upto 2MB.

It is a good place for this kind of small projects. Of course if you pay they allow much bigger repositories :)

So here it is http://www.cvsdude.org/

Humans eat animals alive for money - are they really humans??

2006-02-08T19:38:00.001-05:00

Last night I saw this program that conduct challenging games based on people's fear factor and was shocked to see one event where competitors had to eat raw spiders to go to the next round.
Animals kill and eat other animals as a means of surviving in this world
May be there are some tribes who eat animals like this alive. But this is not like that, this is for money and all of them are from some rich countries where they don't want to eat live animals to live. It is all for some $. It is very sad to see how they eat those spiders alive while they try to survive in those so cold human's mouth. It seems like successor of homespun will be “homeevil”

Seems like there blocking lot of political and news related contents as well, which is very annoying. Back home (Sri Lanka) we had a period around 1989 where the news contained only the praises for the government. No criticism was allowed. However, according to the history these things could not last long. It is up to the Chinese people to decide to accept this or not in their coming elections. (Hope it is not blocked  )

IMHO, blocking peoples' freedom to express ideas and criticizing something is really *bad* but with respect to other blockings I feel that it might be the way they have found to keep that country from crashing into pieces with 1.3 Billion people.

I found this photo in my album. These are the team members who wrote the initial version of the Apache Sandesha(ws.apache.org/sandesha) with me. From left to write we have Sudar, Jaliya (me) Amila and Nilantha. We took this photo in the last day of our university (undergrad) life and it is really a wonderful time in my life.
