  • Powder-Processing.co.uk Launched

    Dec 10, 2008 Author: Chamara | Filed under: Web

    Powder Process Design Services Ltd is an UK based design, manufacture and supply of powder processing solutions to serve the needs of companies in sectors like Industrial Minerals, Chemicals, Ceramics and Recycling.

    When PPDS approached Minlo Technologies site was out dated and suffered from design as well as usability challenges. PPDS Founder, Nigel Thomas wanted this to be redesign in very short period of time and launch soon after that.

    As a web development firm, Minlo’s responsibility was to develop a standard compliant website with information architect, graphic design, user interface design, implementing accessibility, usability, JavaScript development and finally cross browser compatible.

    Web Safe Fonts

    Dec 7, 2008 Author: Chamara | Filed under: CSS, Web, XHTML

    When using fonts on websites, font should display it’s all properties & styles on all or most web browsers which runs on different platforms like Windows, Mac or Linux. Unfortunately we don’t have much fonts which supported on all web browsers & platforms. So fonts which are working on all or most web browsers are called Web Safe Fonts.

    So here are list of web safe fonts which I am using in my web design projects.

    Minlo Technologies
    Minlo Technologies

    Minlo Technologies, a small, dynamic design & development services firm based in Colombo, Sri Lanka has been featured in Web Hosting Search’s Designer Guide.

    According to them,

    This site actually talks to you, has great content, and decides if that web design company is appropriate to add.

    So I am thrilled that the hard work is paying off.

    I can recommend you to Web Hosting Search if you need a web hosting provider or something related.

  • WAI has announced that WCAG 2.0 has moved to Proposed Recommendation. So now only one step away to becoming a W3C Recommendation and hopefully December it will be.

    Proposed Recommendation means is that the guidelines have reviewed by the community and also tested on real world websites. Now anyone can start using this even though it’s not official yet!


    In other news the mobileOK Basic Tests also moved into Proposed Recommendation. So home this will help to solve mobile web and web accessibility issues.

    More information on can be found at http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/.

  • [UPDATE - Tuesday, March 31, 2009] NethFM online stream replaced with their new stream link.

    [UPDATE - Wednesday, March 18, 2009] New Sri Lankan Online Community Radio, Sinha FM has been added. It’s on air from Doha, Qatar. Sinha FM is a none profitable on line radio for all our expats working in out side of our mother land..

    [UPDATE - Monday, July 2, 2007] I have removed Minsara Online Radio as I found they are using V FM live stream.

    [UPDATE] I have re-ordered and index the list by alphabetical order. Hope this will be much more readable than before.

    Here I am listing some good Sri Lankan Radio Stations and Music Portals with their online streaming feed. Remember some radio streaming feeds they providing are not valid, so in here I have tried my best to avoid those invalid feeds.

    Here goes the list;
