A real ICT study place

Recently I found an institute to sharpen my IT knowledge further. I have done my IT studies in several places around Colombo. Yet the knowledge I got is not worth for the amount I paid. Eventually I found a place call Foundation of IT Professional Sri Lanka. (FITP)

Lessons held by Mr Thusitha Perara was very clear and understandable. Actually I believe that Mr Thusitha Perera was 'born to teach'.

They conduct many classes for professional exams specially including BCS, ACS, BIT UCSC, Programing languages etc. It is a very flexible place where you do not want to worry about the course fees at all.

Those who wants to learn real IT and want to become a professional in the IT industry within short period of time without spending unnecessarily money...
I recommend FITP !!!

What former Education Minister Susil Premajayantha says about FITP


You can easily find this place. Its just in front of Pannipitiy nursing home. You can use 174 Kottawa - Borella bus. Anyone wants I can give the phone number of the lecturer, just drop your email I'll send it.

Kapruka Gift Delivery Service

Recently I had bad experience with Kapruka gift delivery. (www.lanka.info). Kapruka never deliver on time. Also Kapruka did not pass the proper message to the receiver. I have used kapruka two times, in both instances kapruka  did not deliver on time. I wanted to make it morning but they did it in afternoon. So my personal opinion is DO NOT USE them.

Also the worst case is when I write kapruka  regarding the issue customer support just sent me a computer generated general email which is a auto reply. Kapruka  never care customers personally. Kapruka  never listen each client's problem.

HDMI display problem for DELL N Series with SONY BRAVIA

I was trying to use HDMI in my SONY BRAVIA with the DELL N Series. I bought a HDMI cable from ebay, it is version 1.4. I pluged it to the HDMI port 2 in the sony and tried to get display without success.
I tried with downloading display drivers. And I tried to download the HDMI driver to the laptop. while checking in the google, found some links in intel site as my display driver is intel. Tried with restarting both TV and the laptop but nothing worked.

In my Intel graphic HD properties I saw there's tab TV/Monitor settings and said "TV MONITOR SETTINGS ARE NOT SUPPORTED". So I thought this could be a reason and tried with that path too without success.

Ultimately I was able to get the display. This is what I did and tried with some hints in intel site.
I plugged the cable in to the HDMI port 2 in the TV. And I plugged to the port  1 while TV is on. Then I  restarted laptop. Then I selected HDMI 1 in the TV menu and my laptop display settings mode was in dual display. You can change dual display setting by pressing f1 key (Select projector display).
You can see dual display modes even when you right click on desktop and select screen resolution.

Oh I forgot to say that my OS is WINDOWS 7 Ultimate.

So if you are in dual display mode you after restart the laptop you can see your desktop in your TV.

But Still I can't get the sounds from the TV. If I found it I will update you. I heard the sound from the TV when its loading the windows but when I watch a movie, the sound is only from the laptop.


Ok great I found it. I opened the properties of my sounds software (IDT HD sounds). I saw a tab in leftside SONY TV. Then selected Set as default playback device and Set as default communication device. It worked.

Bandarawela Holiday Home

Recently we (my family)  went a trip to Bandarawela, I found this place from the web. I had no clue about what sort of a place it is when I book, though I paid 6000 for a unknown person (Mr Sarath) which I have only his mobile numbers. Eventually the place was very good. Caretaker is good, foods are ok. We have our freedom to play around. No restriction at all on anything. Actually a calm place. I would like to recommend this place to stay in Bandarawela when you go next time. Have fun !!

Jayantha Learners - Narahenpita, Werahera, Malabe, Biyagama

Recently I went to Jayantha learners to train and get my driving license. I registered with them for 5 lessons plus one lesson for motor bike. They said they can give vehicle anytime and we can call them and put an appointment. As discussed I phoned to the office to put the training session.The girl who is in office said vehicle is not available right now, So I asked what time it'll available then, she said "I can't say that exactly" then I asked can I come around 12 noon and will it available at that time, she said "come and see I can't predict". I was so angry. This is how they treat to clients after they take the job.

I went their by 12 noon but the vehicle was not available. I had to wait their for more than 1 hr. Just sitting on a chair. They have only one vehicle. Apart from that, I asked I have one session for bike so when can I have it, she said for that I have to go Werahera. I was shocked, to get trained a bike have to go Werahera.

So this is the bad experience I have with Jayantha Learners Narahenpita. I never recommend Jayantha learners to anyone. This has happened to my friend also.

Most of the time we have to hang around their office until vehicle comes. Even we booked it, It is not available at the reserved time.

Jaxp Error 'com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Content is not allowed in prolog.'

I had the above error when I tried to transform a xml in to another xml.
The mistake was, I have pass the xml file as a ByteArrayInputStream instead of InputStream. I was searching every where about the error but no clue with my code.


            xsltFile = getInputStream(xslPath);
            xmlFile = getInputStream(inputXML);
           
            Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(xmlFile);
            Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(xsltFile);

            // the factory pattern supports different XSLT processors
            TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();               
            Templates cachedXSLT = transFact.newTemplates(xsltSource);
            Transformer trans = cachedXSLT.newTransformer();

            writer = new StringWriter();
           
            trans.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(writer));

            System.out.println(writer.toString());


Try to chenge the input type and it would help for you.
Aalso I saw some info in Wrox site.
