            <p style="text-align: left;">The Colombo Stock Exchange is open from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM each day. Then why did the CDAX online trading software's ticker continue to run well past the closing time on the 24th?</p>

                <p style="text-align: left;">I will tell you why; because this system is not real time and this software is written in Java. <a href="000831.html">I've blogged about this before</a>. What's also interesting is the fact that the server time on CDAX is wrong.</p>

            Unboxing a Core i7 Macbook Pro. It's not mine but my father (I've sworn not to by another mac). He got it early August to replace <a href="yet-another-dead-macbook.html">his old Macbook which got toasted</a>. I had the pleasure of unboxing it but forgot to blog about it till now. So for the first time in a long time, someone in the family has a more powerful computer than me, but then I have three computers so that makes up for it some what.

            <p>Once upon a long ago it didn't matter whether your site was www.raditha.com or just plain old raditha.com then along came Google Pagerank. Your website being accessible with or without the www could mean that your Pagerank is&nbsp;divided&nbsp;amongst two sites. Even though Google itself advised that website owners shouldn't worry too much about Pagerank, people still did, and Apache Rewrite rules like the ones below came into being:</p>

            <p>The first ever tweetup in Sri Lanka was held nearly a month ago. So why the hell am I writing about it now? and why the hell did I go there with my dad?</p>
            <p></p>
            <figure style="text-align:center"><img alt="@e4c5 and @saadhu" class="size-full wp-image-2944" height="470" src="https://www.raditha.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/tweetup-1-t.gif" title="Tweetup name tags" width="300">

            <p></p>
            <p>The answer to the first question is that I am lazy and had plenty of other things to do the past few weeks (Make it the past two months). That's why there weren't any new posts here. Second question: <a href="https://twitter.com/e4c5">me</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/saadhu">@saadhu</a> are the only father and son combination from Sri Lanka on twitter.</p>
            <p></p>
            <figure style="text-align:center"><a href="https://twitter.com/mjmmanoj"><img alt="Listening to the welcome speech" class="size-full wp-image-2945 " height="360" src="https://www.raditha.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/tweetup-2.jpg" title="Listening to the welcome speech" width="480"></a>

            <p></p>
            <p>It was a great opportunity associate a face with the tweets , I say that because very few people look anything like their profile picture (for example mine is a pair of Red Vented Bul-buls - which many people mistake for a plane). It was great fun meeting so many great people. Initially i had reservations about going to the event, us geeks are not social animals after all. Then I discovered that many of my best buddies on twitter felt exactly the same. So I dropped everything else and made my way to Cocoveranda where the event was held. It was great fun meeting so many great people. Many of them turned out to be exactly the sort of person I like to associate with in the offline world.</p>
            <p>So thanks go out to the organizers of the event. They include @moshanthi, @rebelinpurple , @amisampath , @mack005 , @cocoveranda , @nazly and @udaraumd there were others who helped in various ways. I am sorry if I haven't mentioned you here.</p>
