Some sites never cease to entertain us. One such site is "Clients from hell". While surfing the web, I found pointlesssites.com which has a huge list of pointless sites, as they claim. However, they are really funny and interesting. Worth browsing once.
We are completing the first trimester of 2011 with this blogpost. \yay/. Hope the upcoming months will be more interesting. "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." Also have a look at the Spanish alphabet and the pronunciation, if you want some more in the meantime.Saturday, January 22, 2011

GSoC 2011 and FOSS
It was really nice to meet many interested students in today's session at Science Education Theater (SET) of University of Peradeniya, hosted by the Computer Society of Science Faculty, UoP. Special thanks to 07CSE who made everything possible within a very short time frame.
We created the gsoc-srilanka group with the goal of "Promoting FOSS through GSoC among Sri Lankan Universities, hence doubling/increasing the Sri Lankans' presence in GSoC and FOSS altogether," a year ago. Now we have started spreading the word in real; not promoting merely online. Hence I feel that today is an important day towards achieving the goal. We are in the correct path, I am pretty confident. Keep the word spreading.
