Waiting on the Data Recovery While Planning to Leave Sri Lanka

January 6, 2023 Lehan Edirisinghe

A long day of waiting for Jagath, fearing another bad recovery decision, defending the value of Captain's Log as a sellable entertainment product, sketching university rules, and reacting to power cuts with the same conclusion that keeps returning: I do not want to build a life here.

10:00 a.m.

Just waking. Doing nothing much. Waiting for my mum.

11:15 a.m.

██████████████████████████████████████████

I'm getting breakfast soon

I'll have to wait for my mum to follow up with Jagath

It should, if done, mean we get the old laptop, with data, and can continue

A new laptop is in February

All you have to do, and this is as easy as it gets, is help earn some money, and then I can do this stuff on my own

Maybe some good instructions will help

11:45 a.m.

I'm going to go get my breakfast.

Or lunch.

I have no choice but to go to Daminda.

Jonathan if you're reading this, please message any better ways to do this.

I have a gut instinct this is a bad idea.

I have a very bad feeling about it.

If it was the other way around, I wouldn't have made these serious mistakes...

I'd have given you real guidance or shown some cooperation.

I've shown kindness to Jacques Huyghebaert and many people, being nice, cooperating and trying to achieve progress.

12:15 p.m.

I don't know. What matters is the data. It also seems pretty cool, that there are all these characters showing up to get this stuff done. Like Top Gun Maverick. Surprise. Surprise. Jump scare. Rescue mission. It's crazy.

I think Captain's Log, I anyway want to have it published. I always sought to entertain. It's the most fun for me. We could sell it digitally. It's a great read.

There's not much on my hdd. Besides personal documents, photos, etc. No serious secrets. Many 1,000s of books as I read quite a lot. I'm weird. A dying, nearly extinct, highly endangered species like our macaws.

It's very weird. I think I used to read 100s of books. Now it's 1,000s per year. I consume information very quickly. I always used to read growing up. I was a nerd. A bookworm. I read Northern Lights, polar bear, Eragon, the whole thing, Brisingr, maybe not last. I read all the Harry Potter books. I read and read and read and read. Lee Kuan Yew. Trump. Bush. I just read.

But when I write, I hate having to write truth or non fiction or to teach anything. I only enjoy writing "entertainment". Fictionalised fiction, with some foul language, ███████████and disturbing content. That's what I like..

I actually read the whole Wharton MBA reading list. Some of them were stupid books. But some were great. When I was hiring people, some interviewees had also read those books like Prahalad, Fortune at Bottom of Pyramid.

Hehe

I think February's around 3 weeks away.

Jagath uncle maybe doesn't do the data recovery in house and also contracts specialised firms to do it.

When I spoke to Daminda, he seems very cool, a very decent fellow. Not everyone is a Judas or crazy or evil. Simple fellow.. very kind guy. He didn't do anything really wrong by charging for a 2nd recovery job.

We're anyway supposed to build local businesses up and support them.

I'm just on my PS4 which is a computer. I'll just be waiting.. I need my laptop and also the data because it contains strategy for Sri Lanka. It will take too long to do it again. It would be better to leave Sri Lanka behind and go enjoy life in America.

1:00 p.m.

I'll be passing guidelines to my education ministry and Sri Lanka University to not punish students for plagiarism.

: )

If it's serious, we will just have them re write their work when appropriate.

Having all the essays on our website will lead to high levels of plagiarism.

All research is some degree of plagiarism.

1:00 p.m. (b)

I'm bored. I want to be working on Sri Lanka's recovery strategy.. We have to do many things. Int criminal court. FCPA. Currency replacement. 101,000 new changes. I'm annoyed these days. Just disgruntled. But I'll be fine. It's only a few weeks delay.

***

We will have fun with our Food Ministry

I put Sohli Captain and Janaka there. Janaka Mayakaduwa. They can do it.

I think every area, we will improve systematically somehow

Because we act as this seller, or merchant or super market or grocer, we can do stuff very, very well...

We get a lot of funds, which we pump directly into food production..

Some of our government profits, should be pumped here as well.

I think defense ministry will get the chemical industry, and also stuff like fertilizers.

I was studying the process online.

Wikipedia article is easy enough.

I think mud crabs are a great idea. We have enough space for this.

We can breed and cater to a lot of animals.

I think multi storey pig farming is good

Cows

Chicken

I actually divided up many areas for crops and agriculture

I think some many 10,000s of square kilometres

I used some new organisation chart, or measuring system..

███████████████████████████████

Uhh zone 1, 2, sector this or that.

Very good organization.

1:30 p.m.

I'm waiting on these people. I like Daminda. I don't trust people. But he's honest. I think he even says he can give a legal letter promising he's honest to sign.

You can't keep saying people are evil. It's also very insulting, illegal and destructive.

I should be cool..

I just want to get back to work. I think data recovery is a special area. Daminda Niroshana seems good. You anyway have these issues. I think i could try do it myself. But it's wise to trust professionals. This guy's alright. We just need a few files only. Maybe some of them can be useful as well.

I am not very rich. Because I'm not a thief. It's as easy as an ant going through a cave opening for a poor man to get to heaven. And I think I can't really ever be poor. Because my value's measured in more than money.

It's going to be 5 years of problems for Sri Lanka when I lose the election. I'll just go have the time of my life in America.

We will get new uniforms

I think it can be managed better and openly.

We will also invest $60m into it as a subsidy

It's $300m in 5 years.

It should be that the revenues, are what drive the business, and a good reputation, good management and happy customers will make sure it's successful

I won't be privatising any areas that hold strategic importance to us.

However we will be targeted anti trust actions against private sector monopolies.

Breaking them up.

Worse, our state monopoly, we invest in, fund, we will allow citizens to use our resources to compete successfully or enter markets.

This underpins our strategy of competitiveness and creating wealth in an equitable way.

Many international businesses will be arriving to cooperate with us.

We will organize local firms to partner with them so they grow successfully.

Our effective rates are pretty good.

2 to 7% of corporate profits.

However, this depends, we have a lot of work to do.

In the real world, the effective rates are generally very low as such...

We have like $360m for Ports Ministry.

$100m for Colombo Port

$100m for Hambantota Port and Trincomalee

$100m for Bandaranaike International Airport

$60m for Sri Lankan Airlines.

We should invest it to buy what we need, to make our ports operational, and then the people can earn off the proceeds..

I don't know much about ports and harbours.

I don't know anything.

But there are these people. Niral Kadawatharatchie. Shehara De Silva. They probably know better.

We also want to give industries like steel to Ports, as we have a large demand for it. And we want that department to earn.

Most of what we use, is often imported, and shipped in cargo freight.

It will be done profitably.

The reason I voted for Gotabaya Rajapaksa was because of Thilanga uncle.

When I go tell Valerie Chai, I really like Singapore, I like Lee Kuan Yew.

She says, I also like Singapore.

But what I meant to say was that I really like the people of Singapore.

I want to honor and congratulate and thank them for choosing that.

Gautama, well, I'm not a Buddhist. I don't take any religion seriously.

But it was perhaps one of the best religions.

Buddhism, is older than christianity and islam, it's an answer to the existential question inherent to Hinduism in reincarnation or Jain theory which parallels this

Buddhism hasn't used much violence to spread and wisdom, tact and compassion have underpinned its existence

I don't follow or agree with it
