Ster Kinekor booking: iPhone versus Laptop..

Having only a mere 3 weeks ago acquired an iPhone I must say I am suitably impressed, this this is a mobile device that can phone a bit. The reception is not quite as good as my old N82 Nokia, but blow me away Henry the stuff you can do if fan-tam-tastic.

But that is not what this post is about, and maybe I will in fact do a post on the iPhone. This post is about how quick you can book only with Ster Kinekor. Firstly I must state I am not a fan of the Ster Kinekor site, you have to put a full URL in sterkinekor.co.za does not work, they are more interested in selling tickets to people outside South Africa.

So here was the test. from scratch, book a ticket on the Ster Kinekor site one person on a Laptop another on iPhone. Skill level identical (they where both me).

Both machines share the same internet connection, since it is wireless, so speed is the same,

So who one? Well believe it on not the iPhone by a mile. By the time I had booked and PAID on the iPhone I was still waiting to select the Movie I wanted to see on the Laptop.

Now that shows you how bad the SterKinekor normal site is. Next time use their mobile site it is faster. SIS!

April 7 March – Reflection

The Reality I was unsure if people care enough to make an effort. I planned to join the April 7 March to Save South Africa from the Cape Town Town Hall to Parliament the next day. Arriving in town we could see things were different. We walked past the Market in St Georges mall and saw almost no one there. As we carried on walking towards the Grand Parade we heard first the motorbikes, then the people. Even though it was not yet noon, the crowd that had gathered was substantial, a lot more than the legal limit of 8,000. I looked up the street and then realized that the crowd was very large, my insecurity that no one cared enough to make an effort seemed like a joke. After some politically charged messages we started a slow march towards Parliament via Buitenkant. It was a slow march with some politically charged chanting – but was peaceful. When we got close to parliament as we could I realized there were a lot of people there. Pers...

Balance

Category: Ponderous When ever you talk to "life coaches" they talk about balance. What is balance, well it is there way of saying spend more time on personal things. That is not balance that is spending more time on personal things. Balance is what people tell you to get, when you are spending too much time trying to ensure that each day when the bills come you do not have a panic attack. So let's say you decide to take some personal time – get more balance in your life. Your read the secret you have the vision you write the goals, you project your positive thinking, and you believe in attaining the goals you have set. The question is what then. Balance implies there is a fulcrum and, and to much of any time on the one side of the fulcrum, is going to tip in other way, surely believing in balance is in itself a limiting belief. What you need to strive for is a pie chart of your time spent the way that is most beneficial to you as a person. The real limit we have is time (...

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency – what is it and how can I benefit

What is it I started investigating Bitcoin when it was worth just over $1000 a bitcoin. I was interested in what it was and how it worked. A lot of people are saying we missed the boat, but I believe that everyone should at least try put a little money in now, or at least use a faucet (see below) to make a little micro-currency. You can read a Wiki article about bitcoin and its history etc. But what you need to know is that it is a currency, that is independent of country. No one really knows who invented the concept of a cryptocurrency since the person who published the paper used a nom de plume. All new cryptocurrencies work more or less the same way as Bitcoin. So as I explain below I interchange these terms. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. How Bitcoin works The currency releases a coin based on a mathematical formula. There will never be more than 21 million bitcoins (other cryptocurrencies do not work like this). Each bitcoin can have divided into one hundred mil...
