Social with Pieter Cloete

I headed up to Gauteng for another meeting of the Credit Technology Association.

After landing at OR Tambo, I headed to where I stay when I’m in Midrand and was surprised to find Pieter Cloete from inikak.co.za at the house.

We had a great discussion about social media and the web in general. It is awesome to be able to talk someone who is as excited about technology and social media as I am.

Pieter is an iPhone guy and puts his one to good use in keeping his various social media profiles up to date and keeping track of all things digital.

After the test drives, some internet research and some heavy decision making, I made up my mind and decided to go for the i30. I collected the car today and it is fantastic.

Amelia didn’t know that I was collecting the car today, so when I fetched her from work it was a total surprise.

I had some CDs ready and immediately hit the road and drove through to Knysna.

Amelia and I decided to stop at the waterfront and had some awesome pizza, coffee and tiramisu at Caffe Mario. We then took an easy drive back to George.

After trying out the i10 and i20 Amelia and I saw the i30, which looked like far more of a car. We did some enquiries on Saturday but did not have enough time to do a test drive, so I decided to go for one today.

When getting into the i30, you feel absorbed into it’s comfort and sporting feel. It is a superb drive and feels as if it has got performance wanting to pop out of every particle.

This one has definitely caught my attention.

I have always wanted to know what people were on about, when referring to PhotoShop or Illustrator, so I finally got myself CS5 Master Collection today and personally feel lost.

For the past few years I have been using a combination of Inkscape and Gimp, but I am looking forward to the learning curve ahead of me, getting familiar with some of the awesome tools that I have heard and read so much about.

Prison Break

Amelia and I took to Prison Break from the first episode we saw and decided to take it out on DVD.

We were hooked and in a matter of a few months went through the first three seasons.

When we got to the end of season three we found out the season four was not yet available in South Africa, to our extreme disappointment but to the benefit of our work and studies we waited in eager anticipation for season four to hit the shelves of the video stores.

Last week, we where at Scooters Pizza, getting ready to fill up on some of the good stuff when we saw the Prison Break poster in the window of Mr Video and we went straight in and to our excitement, season four was in and the first disc was ready for us to take out.

We finished our Pizza and went home to get into the next season. Within a matter of a week we went through the entire season as well as the bonus disc.

This season, the “last season” introduced us to some exciting new ideas and gadgets. The good and the bad, teamed up for some seriously suspenseful scenes. The pace of this season was really fast and things happened a bit too easy for my liking.

The end of the season is a total disappointment and I couldn’t believe it was the end.

I watch the last episode more than once, to make sure I understood it right and then watched the bonus features to see if there was something that we had missed.

The season really did not finish off in the same Prison Break style that we had got accustomed too, and I seriously hope that they can catch a hint from the Prison Break followers and bring us a season 5 even if only to end off with a bit more style.

If anyone is looking to buy us a present, we’d be happy to get a box set with season 1 through 4, we won’t be watching them too soon as the ending is still fresh in our minds, but would dig to be able to watch this series from the beginning again.
