Lankan Online Computer Stores
Before buying a computer accessory it’s worth doing an analysis on the accessory, especially on price and quality.
A simple Google search would reveal most of the quality issues related to the product but when it comes to price we Sri Lankans have to go either to a shop physically or Unity Plaza.
Here few of the online stores where you can check the price online. Hope it’ll help you reduce the work load.
Some of the blow mentioned shops are offering products to buy online too. MAYUonline is not recommending any of these sites. This is just for your information. If you are to buy something online buy it on your own risk.

Vark.com – Q&A community (With 100 Invitations)
You Got a Question
When we have questions, we usually go ask from friends, online forums, Yahoo answers. But what about asking your question on IM (Yahoo / Gtalk) and some person who knows the answer replies you via IM again. The person who replied you may be or may be not a friend of yours.
Vark.com (Branded as Aardvark) is network of IM friends who is willing to help others. I’ll give you a typical example.
How Aardvark works
You’ve a question about movie tickets in Colombo, so you tell your question to Aardvark.
- You: How to find movie tickets in Colombo?
- Now Aardvark will look for someone who knows about Colombo
- Once Aardvark found someone who knows about Colombo, It’ll pass the question to the user.
- User answers: http://www.ticketslk.com/
- Aardvark will now show you the answer http://www.ticketslk.com/
Pretty cool huh?
Pros and Cons
I usually try questions regarding books, especially about comics. I’ll get good number of responses. Usually you’ll get good number of responses for IT, Tech related stuffs but you’ll get less number of responses for localized questions.
For an example if you ask a question about English or Google you’ll get good number answers but if you ask a question about Tamil or Sinhala then you’ll hardly get a question.
If you take Yahoo Answers, it’s one of the biggest communities available online. Compare to Yahoo Answers, Aardvark community is small.
But it’s very easy and convenient to ask a question in Gtalk / MSN window and getting the answer instantly. Believe me, Yahoo or Google can’t answer all your questions but Aardvark can answer most of the questions.
Whenever you ask questions, they were archived with the answers. So later you can go to their history page and refer the questions and answers. Also you can re-submit a question to the Aardvark community if you’re not happy with the answer.
Spirit of the Community
If you’re in a community you make use of it while helping it. What I mean is you can help the Aardvark community by answering others questions. In your profile page you can add tags. These tags will be used to identify your field of expertise.
If you tag “Google” then when someone got a question about Google, it’ll be shown to you. I have been using Aardvark network for about six months but they’ve never started to spam me. So don’t worry they won’t start to spam your IM client 
Invitation (100 only)
They’re still running on Beta and allowing limited amount of users inside. If you wanna check it out now itself, you may try the invitation link.
Once you join the network you’ll also be given invitation links, so you can also invite your friends to the world of Aardvark.

Web Host Rating
People some time get annoyed by their existing hosting service and look for new hosting services. I was searching for hosting advices over the net and found this wonderful web site. This web site is giving tips on webhosting.
You can go for a free web host or you can go for a premium web hosting by paying some money. Each of the solution has their pros and cons. For example, if you go for a free hosting they’ll embed their own advertisements in your site.
In their Home Page, they comparing different hosting companies and giving the feature details of each site. They’re offering ratings for CMS hosting too such as WordPress hosting.
Here a small quote from the site
Are you looking for something a bit more customized? For many webmasters, shared hosting is a favorite. This means that an abundance of websites are actually on one server. While this only costs a few dollars a month, there are still issues that come along with it. For instance, if a fellow webmaster were to have done something illegal, chances are your website would be shut down as well. This is because you share an IP, which of course can be quite dangerous. For this reason, you must be careful when choosing people to share a host with.
Christmas For Payatas
Coming from third world country I understand the desperation of the kids living in Payatas, Philippines. There are kids living and have no place to sit or sleep. They run their life from the garbage that they collect every day.
For coming next Christmas these kids gonna enjoy the Christmas with the Christmas from the charity made around the world. Christmas For Payatas will be powered by each of our support. There are many good people such as started to support this cause. check out the web site Christmas For Payatas
Check out this video. Very sad. Compare to this situation, our country is far better.
The landfill in Payatas, The Philippines, is notoriously known the world over as Smokey Mountain. For over 35 years, the smoking dump site has grown to become a stark and heart-tugging reminder of the desperate conditions of humanity.
On a daily basis, children pick through newly arrived garbage to
collect material to sell. The earnings made by one child are not enough to even buy food for the day. Hence, entire families are forced to climb the mountain each day, hoping to earn enough to feed everyone. Children as young as four years old are forced to work in this daily struggle for survival.In response to the plight of these children, Totedaddy.com is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas.
The money raised will help fund the projects already in place, and help fund additional projects aimed at providing better housing, and a means of livelihood for the Payatas community.
Together we can bury poverty
