I've been getting some requests for small PHP projects. At the moment I'm not taking on any projects. If you still think I should have a look email me a specification or the requirement and I will try to give some feedback or recommend another person who might be willing to take it on.

I got Dialog TV a few weeks ago. The sign up process was a breeze, maybe because I was already a mobile customer. They just asked for my contact details and took a copy of my id, and that was it.
I'm happy with the clarity and program information that comes with the digital signal. The only issue is when it starts to rain the signal goes away for a while.
I had a bad signal for Star World with Comet Cable but they never bothered to follow up my complaints or fix it. I was a comet subscriber for many years and I got tired of them dropping channels unannounced etc.
I'm hearing that Comet Cable will upgrade to digital, but I feel I will get a better service and more competitive prices from Dialog TV. So I've moved on.
Here are a few related sites worth watching about cable TV in Sri Lanka.

I bought this environmentally friendly bad a few weeks ago at Arpico. It was like 75 bucks and I thought it was a good idea at the time. They happily put my stuff in the new eco bag and I was on my way.
The thing about an eco bag is your supposed to reuse it. So I took it back today. To my surprise I was told I can't take the bag in. Their "leave your bags at the counter outside" policy contradicted with my quest to save the earth.
I explained to the security guy that they sold me the bad to spare the use of polythene and I was going to take it in. I even showed that it was empty and I was going to put the stuff I buy in it.
After 15 seconds of explaining and the other security guy at the exit telling this guy to let me go, he got off my case.
Arpico please brief your employees so I don't have to.
I'm still pissed at the whole thing. I'm going to keep taking my bag back, that is if I feel like shopping there again. Because unlike your social responsibility show that you put on I care about where I live.
The heat is creeping back up in Colombo after the rains. It would be nice to have an ice tea on a hot day like this. But wait, you can't.
We produce tea right? How come we don't have ice tea more freely available?
Cartons in a supermarket don't count, it should be as easy as getting a soda. Can-it or setup drink dispensers. We are good at packaging and marketing such things.
There have been Chinese take out shops in my town for as long as I can remember. But none of them deliver. Few of the bigger joints like Chinese Dragon and Flower drum deliver but since they are a bit out of town it takes longer to deliver and they have some minimal amounts they will send.
So why don't the little shops deliver? All it takes is a guy on a motorbike or 3 wheeler. If you can't keep your own delivery guy just talk to a few guys in the local 3 wheeler stand and get it going.
In this age of copy paste business models you have to stay ahead of the other guy. Besides I really don't want to drive up to the take out place today.
