Art Blossoms in Colombo
Sunday, February 19th, 2012Anoli Perera’s huge dress takes up half the room. It’s bright red and full of holes and looks like a giant bird taking to flight. When I first saw it from a distance I thought it was a fishing net.
I’m at the J.D.A. Perera Gallery which is showcasing some of the artwork of Colombo Art Biennale. Four years ago, which was when I last visited this part of Colombo, there was no art gallery here: just the modest buildings of the Faculty of Visual Arts. Finally these talented students seem to have got a place to hang their paintings.

As I walk past the displayed works, the brilliant and the meh, the blogger in me regrets not bringing a camera. I don’t, for they look much better in plain sight than through a viewfinder.
Anoli’s dress, titled ‘Elastic Dress II’ is part of ‘Second Skin’, a combined artwork that refers to ‘the female experience of dealing with the anxieties of change that their bodies are subject to’. Shirmal Silva’s photographs under the art direction of Dilki Perera explore this through a series of images where a woman ‘wearing’ this red dress is seen almost trying to hide from us within its many folds.
Dwarfed by the Second Skin, sitting in a corner, are Vaidehi Raja’s four beautiful woodcut and mixed media prints titled ‘Time for Reflection’. It’s a depiction of how one has little time for personal reflection in a world that is in a race to accumulate ‘things and titles’: an apt reminder to a generation that has more Facebook friends than real ones.
‘The Patient’ makes you sad.

My favourite paintings at the Perera Gallery are by Jagath Weerasinghe, who also happens to be a Co-Founder of the event. ‘The Patient’ and ‘The Cause of Illness’, two concertina painted books, reminded me of some people close to my heart who depend on pills to maintain the proper functioning of their bodily systems. It was a beautiful and sad and at times sarcastic exploration of the interaction between the germ and the man.

More works are on display at the National Art Gallery, and I walk past the new Nelum Pokuna Theatre, giant and imposing and clearly beyond the budget for most local artists, to this old bastion of Sri Lankan visual art.
In the middle of the gallery is the Indian artist Vibha Galhotra’s ‘Neo Monster’, although at the moment its all deflated and quite confusing. Apparently it’s a totally different experience when the air blower is working, for then that huge pile of nylon cloth turns into a giant backhoe loader, toy-like yet dramatic and formidable.
Menika Van Der Poorten – her name betrays her mixed roots – investigates the disappearing eurasian (Burgher!) presence in Sri Lanka through a series of portraits. The first thing that occurred to me as I saw them was The Jam Fruit Tree i.e. fictional characters, not real people. That probably tells what kind of an endangered species the Burghers are.
After the J.D.A. Perera, the National Art Gallery feels small, for after several minutes I have come full circle. Perhaps it’s the Neo Monster’s non-showing that causes me to leave early. As I step out on to the Nelum Pokuna Road, there’s a different kind of exhibition, familiar and expected.
Many aspiring artists sell their paintings by this road on the weekends, and one particular collection captures my attention today.
“Are these yours, Sir?” I ask from the thin old man sitting on a plastic chair next to them.
He smiles. “No, they’re my son’s.”
“I like his style,” I say, and his face brightens up.
There’s a set of three abstract paintings that attract me with their red earthy hues.
“How much are these?” I ask.
“Six thousand rupees.”
“What, all three of them?”
“Yes.”
That’s less than 50 dollars.
I ask him about his son and his art. This proud father brings those paintings every day of the week to sell by the road side, and he tells me that on weekdays I am to look for him on that spot over there on the other end of the road.
Inside the galleries, and outside, art is blossoming in Colombo. At galleries I go window shopping; out here by the road, I’m a connoisseur.

Fixing the Invoice Numbers
Wednesday, February 15th, 2012
TL;DR: Invoice numbering will no longer be a nuisance to you.
CurdBee follows a very simple invoice numbering system. Every time you create an invoice, it’s assigned a number that was incremented from the previous invoice number. You have the full flexibility to change this to anything you want (other than a previously used invoice number).
This process looked good until we introduced Recurring Profiles. Invoices created from recurring profiles had an invoice number, which was derived from the Invoice No. given in the recurring profile and its iteration count. This produced invoice numbers such as INV001-1. Since there were no distinction between invoices generated from recurring profiles and manually created invoices, invoice numbers tend to get mixed up. For example, if you try to create an invoice after a recurring profile had generated an invoice, it will be suggested to use INV001-2. Then the 2nd iteration of the original recurring profile will be created with an invoice number such as INV001-3. At this point you will see the your invoices have totally unrelated invoice numbers and process of managing them becomes needlessly complicated.
A lot of you complained and we listened. Today, we have rolled out an update to solve these inconsistencies. The confusing Invoice No. field was removed from recurring profiles and was replaced with an optional Profile ID field. If you leave this field blank, invoices created from that recurring profile will always use an increment of the last invoice number in the system. So there would be a single invoice number flow, which is incremented serially.
However, if you want to provide a different numbering scheme to invoices created from a recurring profile, you have to specify the Profile ID field. The Profile ID will be used as the base(or prefix) of the invoice number and current iteration will be added as the suffix (ie. ProfileID-Iteration). This number scheme will be excluded from the regular invoice number flow and prevented from being mixed up with the other invoices as previously. The next iteration of the recurring profile will be guaranteed to have its corresponding invoice number.
Let’s illustrate this with an example: let’s say your main invoice number sequence is in the form of INV001-X, where X is the automatically incremented number. If you create a recurring profile with the Profile ID field blank, and the last invoice sent was INV001-14, when the invoice from this recurring profile is sent it will be assigned the number INV001-15. But if you had assigned a Profile ID as RB-1001, the first recurring invoice from this profile will be assigned the invoice number RB-1001-1, the next RB-1001-2 and so on, while your main invoice number sequence remains unaffected.
Hope this update would solve the troubles and confusions you had with invoice numbers. Please let us know if you still find any issues or see other ways to improve the process.

CurdBee On the Go
Saturday, February 4th, 2012Ever since we launched CurdBee, one feature request kept hitting the top of the list quite often: CurdBee on mobile. Among the requesters the majority were iPhone users, followed by Android, with Blackberry, Nokia and others also making their presence felt.
CurdBee mobile was always on the plan, but it was on the back burner as we had to focus on other essential improvements. However, there came a time when a mobile version became that essential need. The first major call we had to make was whether we should go for native mobile application(s) or make a web optimised application or even both. We took our time to analyze all the pros and cons with these approaches and finally came to a conclusion on the path we should take.
We built a couple of prototypes using different platforms such as Sencha, jQtouch and jQuery Mobile during our initial experiments before finally settling with jQuery Mobile. The main reason for picking jQuery mobile was its compatibility across different mobile platforms. It took us a while to put together, and today we are releasing our first take on the CurdBee mobile experience.
At present, CurdBee Mobile is optimized for Time and Expense Tracking, as those are the features which most of our users will need on the go. Invoices and estimates can be viewed as well, with support for creating and sending them coming soon.
Try CurdBee on the go and let us know how you like it!
