බුදු බණක් කියන්නට පුතු ගෙදර ඇවිල්ලා...
බුදු සුවඳ බුදු එළිය පැල පුරා ඉහිරිලා
බුදු පුතේ නුඹ දිනෙක බුදු වෙයන් කියාලා
නියත විවරණ දෙන්න යමු මැණිකෙ නැගිටලා

හැබැයි ඉස්සර වගේ මගෙ පුතේ කියාලා
තුරුළු කරගන්නනම් එපා ඉක්මන් වෙලා
බත් කටක් කවන්නට හිත ගියත් ළං වෙලා
එපා සිල් අවැත්වෙයි මවු සෙනෙහෙ සිහි වෙලා

බණ කතා කියන කොට හුරතලෙන් මුව විදා
කඳුළු පිස දුක නිවෙන බණ අසමු නෙතු පියා
හැඬුම් නැති සිතින් පුතු දකින්නට දිරි පතා
අපිත් විවරණ ලබමු වැටී වැඳ පුතු දෙපා

බුදු බණක් කියන්නට පුතු ගෙදර ඇවිල්ලා...

The Guardian - Never Let Go

2008-08-16T23:16:00.000+06:00

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you close every day, without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

Can you lose everything, you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again, and play another hand?
Could you risk everything, for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

Never let go, Never let go, Never let go

Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, 'but you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

Pray for me Brother

2008-04-13T21:27:00.002+06:00

From A R Rahman’s first English album Pray For Me Brother. The album is his contribution to the global fight against poverty. Pray For Me Brother Composed by A R Rahman Lyrics by Blaaze. A really nice song.

Song Lyrics

Pray for me brother
Pray for me brother
Pray for me sister
Are you searchinÂ’…
Pray for me brother

LookinÂ’ for the answers To all the questions In my life
Will I be alone Will you be there By my side
Is it something he said Is it something he did
I wonder why He is searchinÂ’ For the answers
To stay alive

Could you ever listen Could you ever care
To speak your mind
Only for a minute For only one moment
In time

The joy is around us But show me the love
That we must find
Are you searchinÂ’ For a reason to be kind, to be kind…

He said… Pray for me brother
Pray for me brother Pray for me sister
Pray for me brother Say
what you wanna say now
But keep your hearts open
Be what you wanna be now
LetÂ’s heal the confusion
Pray for me brother

DonÂ’t let me take When you donÂ’t wanna give
DonÂ’t be afraid Just let me live
DonÂ’t let me take When you donÂ’t wanna give
DonÂ’t be afraid Say what you wanna say now
But keep your hearts open

Be what you wanna be now LetÂ’s heal the confusion
Pray for me brother Pray for me brother
IÂ’m ashamed ah, brother be dying of poverty
when he down on his knees its only then he prays
And itÂ’s a shame ah, brother be dying of ignorance
cos the world is a trip and everybodyÂ’s a hypocrite
Need to stop ah , taking a look at the other
IÂ’m not ashamed of poverty
need to be making his life better
So think about it, think about it once more
cos life is a blessing and itÂ’s not justa show, ah
Round and round the world is spinning around

We need to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Round and round the world is turning around
We need to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need to coming together just to win this race

Need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need to coming together just to win this race (twice)
Are you searching for a reason to be kind ?

Alston Koch dedication to N0. 1 Spin Doctor MURALI

2008-01-20T15:21:00.000+06:00

Australian singing legend Alston Koch who was born in Sri Lanka has attracted worldwide interest with his tribute song to the world's greatest bowler in the history of cricket, Muttiah Muralitharan. 'Murali' is now the world's leading wicket taker, he swept past Australian spin bowler Shane Warne's record recently when Sri Lanka played England in a 3 test match series on the island.

In London, Muttiah Muralitharan received a standing ovation when his name was mentioned at the 'We, Children of the Pearl' cultural show held at Imperial College on 15th December 2007. Murali was hailed as a wonderful example of diversity in action in Sri Lanka.

Alston Koch has recorded the only tribute song officially endorsed by Murali himself.Alston told World Music Central that he has also released a music video to go with his 'Murali' song. It has been played by radio and TV stations in three continents and been even mentioned on the BBC's 'Test Match Special.'

He is the only Sri Lankan-born singer song-writer to be signed to an international record label and have success in Australia, Asia and Europe with Platinum & Gold record status.

IR – Decoder for Sony Remotes

2008-01-13T01:13:00.000+06:00

Infrared remote control has been around for a very long time now, and we tend to take it for granted. Yet, it is a marvel of modern technology, which allows a whole variety of devices to be activated with the touch of a button. Remote control handsets are so abundant that they may be purchased new for a few pounds, which makes them viable items for experimentation. There are dedicated chips available that will decode the signals from a particular handset, however, with the flexibility and cost effectiveness of the PIC range of microcontrollers we can develop a decoding subroutine that may be placed into your own programs, or used as a standalone infrared to RS232 converter.

It is not my intention to teach you how to program a PICmicro, therefore, throughout this article; it is assumed that you already have some knowledge of either assembler or PicBASIC Pro. And that you have a means of programming the PIC16F84. For more information concerning the PicBASIC range of compilers, as well as an assortment of programmers, visit Crownhill Associate’s dedicated web site at www.picbasic.co.uk. For information concerning assembler programming, visit Microchip’s web site at www.microchip.com.

Here is the circuit diagram. I successfully built this.

The out put of RS232 is like this

IR_BUT<Button Code>\rIR_DEV<Device Code>\r

Button Code is the value assigned to the button i.e E00(in hex) is the value for for Number 1 button
Device code is the value assigned to the device.

Source Code written is PICBasic

Wireless sensor networks

2007-12-26T22:07:00.000+06:00

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants, at different locations. The development of wireless sensor networks was originally motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance. However, wireless sensor networks are now used in many civilian application areas, including environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control.

Sensor node (mote)

A sensor node, also known as a mote (chiefly in North America), is a node in a wireless sensor network that is capable of performing some processing, gathering sensory information and communicating with other connected nodes in the network.
The most widely used and one of the cheapest mote/sensor nodes are MICAZ motes. The MICAZ motes are used in low-power, wireless, sensor networks which are based on AVR “ATmega128” Microcontroller (Microcontroller is a tiny processor).

Contiki Operating System

Contiki is a tiny, open source, highly portable, multi-tasking operating system for memory-constrained networked embedded systems written by Dr. Adam Dunkels, an experimental computer scientist of the Networked Embedded Systems Group at Computer Systems Laboratory of the Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Kista, Sweden.
Its features Include full TCP/IP networking through uIP (micro-IP), a graphical (GUI) subsystem, VNC server, world's smallest web browser, etc. Contiki also consists of an event-driven kernel on top of which application programs are dynamically loaded and unloaded at runtime. Contiki is an appropriate operating system for using in the sensor network arena.

Compiz Fusion

2007-12-09T14:04:00.000+06:00

What is Compiz Fusion ?

(taken from AboutCompizFusion Wiki page)

Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the well-known Beryl composite window manager and Compiz Extras, a community set of improvements to the Compiz composite window manager. Compiz Fusion aims to provide an easy and fun-to-use windowed environment, allowing use of the graphics hardware to render each individual window and the entire screen, to provide some impressive effects, speed and usefulness. The first Compiz Fusion developer release was Compiz Fusion 0.5.2 on August 13th 2007, shortly after Compiz 0.5.2 was released. First stable release of Compiz Fusion is 0.6.0 released on October 20 2007.

Compiz Fusion is an open-source software project, meaning anyone can use it freely and contribute.

It is important to note that Compiz and Compiz Fusion are not the same thing (see: Compiz Fusion Vs Compiz). There is close co-operation between the developers of Compiz and the developers of Compiz Fusion, though ; in fact, many Compiz Fusion developers are also Compiz developers.

Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon(7.10) comes with Compiz Fusion by default. You can enjoy it's beauty on ubuntu Gusty Gibbon. This video shows you about two New Compiz Fusion Plugins: Screensaver and Aquarium
