Computer

I am relay glad because you interest to visit my computer link. I know my family members and specially my wife hate this page. Any away what do you need to know about my computer life?

When I was studying in A/L (1990) first time I touched a computer keyboard. That machine was perfectly run basic with 256K memory without hard disk. I learned BASIC. That was my start!!

After my school life, I followed a computer course at Open University, Sri Lanka. I got a chance to touch computers with 8080 processor, 640K memory, floppy disks and 10MB hard disk. It was a fantastic experience for me. Finally I learned PASCAL and C.

In 1993, I entered University of Colombo, Sri Lanka and followed B.Sc. Computer Science Special Degree. First time I touched a mouse here. That time, when I was expriencing a windows 3.1 PC, I thought Microsoft really producing excellent softwares.

I got my own PC in 1996 with help of my parents. Windows 95 was installed on it. It was GOOD experience. So I don't think to upgrade my windows operating system until Microsoft release two or three service packs with thire new version.

I typed www.yahoo.com at the Netscape browser's location bar in 1996. It was my first Internet experience. I really surprised. Exactly after one year I wrote a web robot and made my own search engine. It was my final year university project.

After my university studies I joined my university as System Analyst in 1998. I like university life because I like KNOWLEDGE and don't like MONEY. In November 1998 I met a wonderful professor, Sead at IITC'98 conference in Sri Lanka. When he was talking public key cryptography, certificate authority and electronic commerce security again I surprised. Exactly after one year I published a paper at same conference about electronic commerce security and wrote a certificate authority under kind guidance of professor Sead in 1999.

This is not the end. I have just started my computer life.
