Nisadas

The last time that I got involved in Nisadas was to upgrade to WordPress 2.3 or something like that. The next thing I know, my next spam-deletion visit was met with the news that 2.5 was out and my spanking new upgrade was obsolete! Ah well, so there I went and upgraded…

To be honest, it’s nice. Nice to use WordPress again and nice to be blogging again. Over the last few months, much has happened.

• September whizzed by and South Africa won the Rugby World Cup (as I predicted to my All Blacks’ fanboy colleagues, weeks before the tournament).
• Sri Lanka fought hard and got into the Cricket World Cup finals, only to lose out to Australia (and don’t even think of discussing the whole squash ball incident).
• I watched the finals of the aforesaid cricket match, whilst running intermittently to the balcony to watch tracer bullets fire at the possible locations of LTTE light aircraft.
• I never got around to buying the new computer, although the people from ABC Computers thanked me for pointing out that their website was a bit out of date.
• I married an amazing young lady. Life has taken a distinct turn for the better!
• I got promoted.
• After much deliberation, I bought a car.
• I got over my suspicions of social networking and finally joined Facebook.
• The guys at Vesess totally amazed me with their new look and have now gone totally Free.
• A number of blogs that I enjoyed reading have vanished – notably Mahangu’s which is now used by someone else (unless that is, Mahangu.org is written by MW in an intentionally different style).
• The local website for HSBC was revamped and now allows access from a variety of browsers. Haven’t checked whether it works with linux, but there’s no reason it shouldn’t.
• I realised that 34 posts over a period of almost three years (since Nisadas went live) is pretty lame for a blog.
• I also realised that apart from fetish-crazed spambots, no one (well, except for one special person) really vists Nisadas anymore.

So that’s it. Things have happened – not limited to the list above – over the last few months. If you will join me again, you may find out more…

It’s going to be a helluva September…

Dhanuka pathirana has started things off with a bang – 277 runs off 72 balls,

The Twenty20 World Cup 2007 is starting soon in September, which means a lot more action on the cricketing front.

When it comes to contact sport, the Rugby world cup kicks off on the 7th, with the videos available for purchase from MediaZone. For a taste of what they offer, not to mention a recap of the recently completed Tri Nations, check out the MediaZone Tri-Nations coverage.

Add to this the fact the Moist von Lipvig will be returning to the pages of the Discworld in Terry Pratchett’s latest book due on September 18th.

September is going to be quite a packed month…
