Over the holidays, I spend a few days in Accra. While I was there, one of the things at the top of my todo list was to go and watch James Cameron’s Avatar (which I hear is a fantastic movie, by the way). Only place to watch it of course, was the Silverbird Cinema at the Accra Mall. So, being the consummate geek that I am, I checked their Twitter feed for scheduling information. Turns out Avatar would be showing that evening at 9:30pm.  Alright then. Since I would be leaving for Kumasi the next day, that left me just about enough time for me to finish packing, take a nap and have supper first.

Only one tiny hitch; I wasn’t paying attention and misread the time. It was actually showing at 7:30pm. I’m sure you will be able to figure out how the rest of the evening played out. Anyways, fast foward two days later. I’m still grumpy and decided that I would have to do something, even  if it as completely useless. So I threw together a little php script that displays the Silverbird movie lineup in a somewhat more reasonable manner.

Much better
