Keep in touch with your loved ones at home
Yeah, I know now there are some non-technical readers subscribed to my blog 
. So I just thought I would share something useful for them as well. Although heading down under was just great, leaving our parents, friends and relatives was not that easy for all of us. Therefore since very first day, I'm trying my best to keep up the close ties between us as much as possible. Here are some of the tools/services I find really useful.
Skype: Allows you to make voice calls to PCs (free) and phones. So far I've found that calling an SLT phone is a lot better than calling any other operator.
WOW SMS: Provides a free service to SMS some of Sri Lankan mobile carriers. Although there is a daily limit (15 messages per day) this is a fantastic way to exchange short messages. When you register, the service also provides an inbox number for you and your contacts can reply to that number. You just have to logon to the service to read incoming messages.
Kapruka: Great way to purchase and deliver gift items for them (Well... if you want to send something for us, you are welcome to order it from http://www.ebay.com.au/ for now 
. I will publish more links later).
BTW: I'm still trying to find a Sinhala webmail solution (AFAIK, gmail, yahoo and hotmail do not support this). If you know any, please drop me a note.
