Hi Guys,

I created a few Feedburner Urls to the feeds on my blog.

SharePoint Content only – http://feeds.feedburner.com/TT_SharePoint
All blog content – http://feeds.feedburner.com/TangibleThoughts

Currently they point to this blog so you might have to still tolerate the ads (I am looking into what I can do about that).

but for starters they are FeeBurner Urls.

Would appreciate if you could sign up to them.

Hit 25

Tariq — Fri, 11 Mar 2005 16:05:00 GMT

Ok,

Today makes me 25 years old. When I was around 18 I used to think that anyone above 25 was old. I mean I was revving up to get in to the software business, and there the young ruled, perhaps becuase the IT industry in Sri Lanka was very young. So I have this notion lobbed in my brain that when you reach 25, you are getting old or past your prime.

Do I feel any different? No, just a slightly depressed that another year has ticked away and I am not where I want to be.

Let me recap

1. Got Dream Girl? - nope, still very single

2. Got Dream marraige? - nope, see 1.

3. Got Dream car? Nope, dont have any car. See 5.

4. Got Dream Job? Ya! Ya!, I work with SPS doing consulting, pushing the envelope of what we can do with it and bringing about innovative solutions with it. I am kind of a perfectionist, and if things have to work, they have to work the right way. Me happy in this criteria!

5. Got Dream Sallary? Nope, nah, not even close (think exploitation ;) )!

6. Got Dream game machine? Nope, but my game machine is good enough.

7. Got Dream house? Nope.

May all of you have a peaceful & prosperous New Year!! (this post might be early depending on which part of the world you are in)

It might be a quiet new years eve

After December 25^th I haven’t heard a single firework explode. Usually in the run up to the dawn of a new year you would very frequently hear people lighting fireworks. This year it’s all so quiet.

Certain organizations that had organized events for the new years, have gone as far as providing the option of contributing ones ticket fare to the Relief effort in addition to reimbursing it.

I also personally know a lot of individuals who will be heading down South or to the North East this weekend to help with the relief effort.

Btw if you are in Sri Lanka and you happen to notice a white flag flying on a vehicle or on a shop, that flag indicates the owner has lost a relative.

Nature knows what Nature doees

Today our local papers ran an article saying that in one of our National parks that were hit by the Tsunami not an animal corpse is visible. The article further goes onto say that any animal, not even a hare is insight. Out of nearly 450 elephants that roam the park not one is in sight.

I did notice this too. Usually near the beach you do have a bit of aerial wildlife mainly in the form of crows (or ravens or whatever you might call them). The day of the tsunami, in the morning there was not a single bird insight. The sky was perfectly still.

Anyways this is the closest I could get to an article online (thanks for the link Thimal).
