Welcome to Chamil's home at Apache

Hi, my name is Chamil Thanthrimudalige and I am a committer in the Apache Web Services project. For a living I work for WSO2, where I get to do what I love [Develop open-source software of cause :-)].

If you are accessing this site from a browser that supports images you should be able to see me on the right. That is a picture of me from the FOSSSL conference that was held in Sri Lanka in 2005.

I am a computer addict, if you are reading this there is a good chance that you are one too ;-). In my spare time I maintain a local IT news site called IT Ambalama. Ambalama means "resting place" in Sinhala which is my native tongue. It is a resting place used by travelers in ancient times when they go on a long journey.

I think that life is fun, yes even when I am up to my neck in trouble [Which I find very easy to get into :D]. Some thing I am really good at is miss-spelling stuff. If you look close enough I am sure you can find a miss-spelt word on this page itself.

There are two quotes about life that I really like and I am note sure what I like the most. First is "Every thing will be ok in the end, if every thing is not ok then it is still not the end.", I am not sure who wrote it but I like it. The second is "Life is worth fighting for, life is worth dying for." This I got from the Robin Hood movie where Kevin Cosner acts as Robin Hood.

You can contact me on chamilt [AT] gmail [DOT] com. If you are a chat kind of person my yahoo id is "chamilbt", or there is always Google Talk.

Just in case you are using a browser which does not support images, my image is supposed to be here.
