I didn’t have high expectations of this movie, but it was a good action movie and the plot is also pretty good. I think you are probably better off if you have seen the first movie so you know the relationship between the two species and humans. The gore is plenty and well made.

Every now and then I post these simple but useful hints and tips than can help in your work or every day life. This time I post the correct military alphabet in English and Swedish which is very useful to spell something over the phone for example. I think it’s annoying when people use their own words for these kinds of things, this is the list to use.

I have been redecorating my home for a few weeks now, on and off. Getting rid of old and ugly bookshelfs and getting new more stylish ones that match some furniture I already have. I got the furniture and lights from IKEA, the “Expedit” bookshelf though came with no holes on half of the bookshelfs (!), so I had to drill them myself (takes too much time & energy to bring 100 kg of shelfs back to the store), but after a while I got them up. Then I also got the “Malm” bureau with a glass pane on top, a “Hopen” bed table with frosted glass drawers, and another “Benno” CD-storage in silver. Along with that I got a new spotlight lamp in the ceiling and diod lights for nice effects in the bookshelf etc. I was glad to see that my ceiling was in fact wooden and not concrete like the walls are, so it was easy to do the fixed installation of the spotlights. I also already had the multicolored diodstrips behind the TV, which is a really nice feature. Below are before & after pictures of the room, it’s more clean and modern now, it turned out pretty good. Take a look…

Gran Torino is a movie about an old man, who is also a veteran from the Korean war, losing his wife and lives alone in his house in an Asian neighborhood. He is bitter and angry with life and hates his neighbors and is starting to get fed up with the increasing number of gangs and punk kids in the community and starts to confront them. People are starting to see him as a local hero, something that has consequences for his next-door neighbors which he is growing fond of and very close friends with. It’s a pretty good movie, somewhat slow at times, but I think it’s worth seeing if you have a couple of hours to spare.

Saw “Bedtime stories” today with Adam Sandler, I was in the mood for a simple and funny movie, not too deep. I think this movie was an OK choice, but yet nothing special. It’s like a mix of “Night at the museum” and “Waterboy” or something, Adam Sandler seems to like to play these kinds of roles. Still annoyed with his voice though, seems so fake and always the same in all his movies. Anyway, it’s an OK movie if you’re having a slow day and is in the mood for an easy Disney movie.

Every once and a while you come across these little annoying obsticles when working with Active Directory that should be easy to solve but requires some special tools, for example that there is no way to export all the members of a group in the Active Directory Users & Computers GUI tool. Using advanced search filter for a user with the “Member of” filter doesn’t seem to work so one way to do it is with “dsquery” and “dsget”, tools for Windows 2003 that you can find using Google probably. Here is how to list all members of a specific AD group.

This is a pretty cool and funny song by “The lonely island”, called “Jizz in my pants” :). The same people that made that “Dick in a box”-song on SNL. With more serious lyrics this song would be very nice, I like the tune and chorus, but even with this lyrics it’s a nice sound to it. They have gotten a huge amount of views on YouTube so I guess I’m not the only one who like it, hehe.
