92   Hi

I wish to Inform all students who have passed out, that we at George Steuarts Recruitment are happy for the efforts taken by you to make this website very effective. Also I invite you (who are looking for employment) to talk to us to make your career dreams a reality.
Thanks
P.S. One thing that you need to develop is that when you get the visitor count - you need to make sure that every time the visitor refreshers his computer the count is not being added on as a new user. Editor's Note: Thanks. Shall look into it

90   Dear Sir,

Upto date I have not felt any negative feelings about your news column. Every day morning, it has been a routine of my life to read your news column and get to know what's going on at our University.
I strongly believe you should not to restrain yourself from publishing whatever news items you feel right, disregarding comments made by couple of readers who d o not have guts to reveal their names.
News page has been always dynamic and alive due to your efforts and enthusiasm and I know it is not an easy job to maintain and update the site continuously for such a long period.
Please keep it up. Best of luck for your future endeavors.
Thank you,
Mark

89   Dear Prof. Lucas & Fellow readers,

Just wanted to let you know that I have been up-to-date on things happening around the dept for the last 4-5 years because of the continuos efforts on the news page along with Prof. Lucas's humor.
I know that readers are allowed to send both bouquets and brickbats but being a past EE Student and being away from Sri Lanka and Moratuwa, I would like to remind the readers who are so concerned about nature of news items that this page has a disclaimer "News, Views and Announcements [This is not an official release]".
This web page is what makes EE Dept unique and we all should be proud of having our unique Professor Lucas to spare his time, reminding us of our good old days @ EE Dept with his own way of picking the news items.
Prof. Wish you a good time in cold Manitoba.If you would like to visit sunny Florida, just drop an email.

88   Prof. Lucas,

I would like to give my best of thanks for your attempt to maintain the web site alive. However, I am having problems about some of the news items. (e.g.: 092, 060, and 049). I strongly believe that they are not suitable not only for this website but also for your professionalism. Don't be an editor of a tabloid.
Best wishes for your good work..

Editors Note:(2006-09-17)
Although I was hurt by the tone of message 86 of an unnamed past EE student, I did not strive to explain why it had been put. However, the new message 88, also anonymous, prompted me to pen down a few words.
  1. News Item 060, was put as an information item for any one who may have been interested in renting the premises of a staff member who was going on overseas leave [I have seen such items in Newsletters in overseas universities, put for the benifit of readers and the staff member]. However, as soon as I heard from some one that it should not have been put as a news item as it may have commercial implications, it was immediately withdrawn, within 2 days of it being placed.
  2. I do not need to attract readers to the EE site by putting tabloid type news items. However, I believe that light-hearted fun such as in News Item 049, or laughing at oneself such as in News Item 020 are necessary to remove the drugery of life and for readers to enjoy, rather than to be sensational. Increasing the readership has no direct benifit for me other than getting the satisfaction of having a useful and well read page.
  3. I also believe that I need not avoid news items relating to myself such as News Item 092, if similar things are being included about others. In this item, in addition to the DICB meeting which is an important event, the original word farewell was replaced by the group of words wishing well as it seemed inappropriate as I was coming back after about 1 year. However, I consciously omitted the usual email link to wish me as I thought that it was not appropriate.
  4. If any of my regular readers feel that the news items are inappropriate, I would be grateful for their comments for me to take any corrective action deemed necessary.

86  Dear Prof. Lucas,

Over the years I admired the way you updated EE website. But recently I found out that you posted a advertisement on EE website to sell your house (or may be a house you are brokered to sell). As I already said I admire the effort you made towards creating and updating the EE website. But that doesn't give you the right to abuse the EE website.
Plese check the address bar of the EE is site. It's still www.elect.mrt.ac.lk not www.jrlucas.com.
I would be grateful if you would not repeat such thing again

82   Dear Sir,

I'm an A/L Maths student wishing to enter your University to study electrical engineering. When I visited the site of Moratuwa I was amazed by its poor quality. I was even amazed when I saw the electrical engineering homepage which was not attractive at least a bit. It looks too old fashioned and isn't vibrant and has no real attractivity or creativity.A top class dept. of a university like Moratuwa need to have a good homepage.
I think you can learn thing from your university's fellow sites like Mechanical, Electronics, Civil and Computer Science.
I also think the University home page is very meager. This is shameful because Moratuwa is the leading university for technology yet universties like Colombo, Peradeniya, J'Pura & Ruhuna have better sites.

75   Dear Prof. Lucas,

I came back to visit the elect web site after some time. Nice to find it uptodate and made nice reading of the things hapenning in UOM. All the same I have a comment to make. I'm one of the millions that use FireFox and Netscape for browsing internet (gave up IExplorer long time ago to avoid security and spyware problems, also Firefox is much more user friendly). I cannot see main menu (java scricpts are enabled in the browser and works with all other things java) and in the masters photo I can't see the names by pointing the mouse.
I could be missing something, but that was my experience.

73   Dear Sir,

It is nice to see that you are continuously improving the site. I also think a top menu bar is better than the earlier style (which took quite some space from our viewing area). I agree that the information (fixed) on top of the page are essential. But they also take-up a large portion of our viewing area. So try to reduce some lines from there (perhaps the 'Non JavaScript menu' can be shifted).
Your concern about access speed is also very valid. Specially considering the fact that the site is hosted in mrt.lk which is always slow for outside access.
Best regards,
Amila.

68   Excellent glossary but may I please suggest one small improvement to Antenna:

Instead of antenna "A device consisting of spaced elements that are used to receive broadcast signals".
replace it with "Antenna: A system of conductors that radiates and or receives electromagnetic waves (radio waves)".
This will cover the transmission as well as the reception function.

You are doing a tremendous service, especially to those who are far away from our beloved Country/ University/ Department. And shame on me for acknowledging it only now on your Guest Book. Well... better late than never!!!
Wishing you all the best to keep up the good work

Dear Sir,
I don't think publishing news items under different categories would be a good idea. Most of the readers who are quite close to the department and the university are however , in general, interested in most of the events that are published on the webpage with varying importance. On the other hand as a good part of the readers are from out of the country it would not be a good idea to make them visit few different pages as the links are not the fastest. Nevertheless, I also would like to take to your notice that the web page is loading without any problems nowadays. In the past I had frequent problems in accessing the page.
Many Thanks again for your continuous interest in keeping this running.

It is appreciated if you could mention that Sandun's traineeship abroad was realised through the AIESEC network and for it to be such a enriching experience was all due to the Service and Learning Opportunities that AIESEC is providing for trainees, globally.
Currently we have a problem in convincing good students of our university system to take up this challenge. This has resulted our exchange numbers going down.

It's been a great source of information about the department and the university in general. I recall that even when in Sri Lanka, the department web site was the number one to get to know the things that are happening around. From my experience in Canada I would propose a page for student news and matters regarding to the courses. This could be updated by the lecturer in charge will provide students with up todate notes, study materials, tutorials, links, etc,. I hope the computing facilities are now sufficient to adopt such a practice.

I saw today that the final year project reports have been posted on the web. What's more striking is to see all the reports are formatted into a journal paper format, so one can easily grasp the essential details quickly. This is an extremely important step and a big round of applause to everybody involved in it. I see no reason why the better reports among them cannot be submitted to journals.
Though it may be seen as a yet another effort, the lasting effects can be rewarding as it would push undergrads to go beyond, to pursue higher level degrees.
Best wishes for everybody in the graduating class and for everybody who wants to further their education.

Hello Rohan,
I was going through the web pages of all the Departments in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Moratuwa. I was surprised to see that most of the web pages are not updated frequently enough. Some were not updated for the last five years, I guess. I congratulate you for updating the EE Dept web pages very regularly and for providing reliable information to your customers all over the world.

I found more information in a five minutes in your "High Voltage Engineering - Part III" section than I have in five days sifting through the rest of the web. Are there parts I & II and are they they also available on the web?
Thank you very much.

Sir,
The site's great. But I need to make one small suggestion if you don't mind. Why don't you publish some notes, problems etc.. regarding the part I (seniors) as well.
Thank You.

Being a passed out student from the University of Moratuwa, Department of Electrical Engineering, I get to know what's happening in the university through the News & Views page of the Dept. I really appreciate your effort to keep the latest news in the University.

Dear Sir,
Great effort you've taken to keep up the EE of UOM site upto date. Just a small suggestion, it's be a great help for EE students who visit your site, if you can have a page of EE related links, it's quite a pain when we try to use general search engines to search for information in Electrical engineering. Keep up the good work.

I am a Computer Science graduate from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. I was recently directed to your web site by a friend and thought I might write a few comments about your site.
1. The first impression that I got from the site was, that it wasn't really designed for an outsider. This is the first time I visited your site and I would have liked to see a general introduction page rather than the detailed news page that you have (I have no idea what the news items are nor am I interested in the details of what happened). What I am interested and other visitors would be interested in would be your departmental research, course information, academic members etc.
2. One notable observation is that who ever designed the site has no artistic talent, nor does he/she have any idea of matching colours. The red text all over the place is very distracting (You can change the size of the text and still ensure that certain phrases stand out!) I would recommend that you get advice from a graphics designer (Check out www.canterbury.ac.nz)
3. Please remove the pop up window (Search WWW). Why on earth would you want to force people to search the web with a pop up window? Just because I move my mouse over a link doesn't mean that I want to click it!
4. Do you really have to the sandy background? It is not easy to read text on it.
Cheers

I am a regular visitor of your News Page every day. Although I study in the same university, there are many news items related to the University that I first go t to know from your news page. So, I think that, your web page is very useful, not only to people outside the university but also the people inside the university too.
Congratulations on maintaining an excellent news page.

I am a regular customer of your site. Whenever I browse the Electrical Department home page, I grateful to you for maintaining such an excellent page. I know lot of people who do the same. But today I felt I should materialize that thought. This note is a result of it. Thanks for maintaining news which is not directly academic with direct academic news. I wish you will be able to continue this excellent work. Keep it up. Cheers.

The guest book has been recovered to work properly. Hope this will make it available for many many others to give their views. [Editors comment: Signing the Guest Book was not working for the last month or so due to the transition to the new Server. However it was detected only two days ago. Mr. Rasika Amarasiri graciously helped us to debug the problem]

It [Editor's Note: News Item - Vol 3 No 11 July 2000 issue of Pariganaka] is a real tribute to your time and effort on updating the web page (though it has been written by one other beloved student of yours). [Editor's note: Mr Sandagomi is a graduate from this department]
May you have all the blessings to keep up your good work as we all (frequent visitors) really love it and feel we are at home.

I think that following news item from the July issue of Pariganaka (which is a premier computing magazine among Sinhala readers) on your web page as one of the very regularly updated sites in Sri Lanka is a real tribute to your hard work.
Don't let your other work keep you away from the web page.

The Front page could be improved. If all the contents come in one page that's good. If we are browsing from outside it will take longtime to load the page (because our AT&T connection bandwith is not enough). [Editor's note: The Web page was improved based on comments made. However, as the majority of viewers specifically view the EE News page it was thought desirable to have it appearing in one frame from the start].

Well done! I am extremely happy that we are now able to keep communication /information up to date and environmentally friendly (paperless) while using the latest technology available. I am sure that the only negative news item (No.16 of December 1998), the possibility of a bleak future for the newspage, will not eventuate. On the other hand you can take a horse to water but cannot make it drink. So, please, everyone with an interest in Electrical Engineering, The University of Moratuwa or Sri Lanka's development in general, I urge you to take the lead given by Prof. Lucas and provide feed-back (for whatever it is worth).
I will get the ball rolling.
Indexing:     Having visited the site for the first time, I looked at the news of the past Year and of 1999 (Jan - Oct). I would like to suggest that, if possible, the date on which the news item was released be included in the item and the items be provided in chronological order (which it may well already be, except that it is not clear). Provision of monthly cut offs within the document (or having separate links to the news of each month) may also help in getting to the period of interest quickly.
Once items of lasting/continuing interest are identified by users (through their feed-back), the ability to search for and sort them for reference could be examined. So could I suggest that feed-back be sent on items that may fit this bill?
I thank you for your effort, congratulate you on the result and I wish that this site will go from strength to strength.
[Editor's Note: The comments made by the feedback is well appreciated. Many major modifications have been made based on the comments]
