Sri Lanka Telecom ADSL Service Sucks

I and my roommate took an ADSL Internet connection to the boarding from Sri Lanka Telecom. It was great in the first few months. But now it sucks. We bought the package which advertises 512Kbit/s (kilo bits per second) down load speed and 128Kbit/s upload speed. But the damn thing won't support even 100Kbit/s download speed. Damn, that sucks.

The most funny thing is that their customer service guy came and inspect the system and said that he feels it's normal. Can you believe it? He even says if we don't like it then we better disconnect it. Yea that's what we wanted as a solution, yikes.

Mailing list is much like Instant Messaging

Google announce that code submission for GSOC 2007 is available few minutes before. The student's mailing list got fired with the news :) Everybody (including myself) was posting questions telling that link for the submission doesn't work. Oh! Leslie (at google) must have had a nightmare replying to those emails and we really appreciate your kind and speedy responses.

The mailing list became like a chat room with mails flying within seconds :)
