Saw “Knowing” starring Nicolas Cage today. It’s a movie about a son and father getting their hands on a paper with strange numbers on it, written by a young girl 50 years ago. The father soon finds out that the sequence of numbers are information of future catastrophic events and soon enough they have to use this in order to survive. This is a very gripping movie that has all this ingridients of a success for me; good acting, plot with riddles and prophecies, catastrophies and end of the world story, great special effects and… aliens. I think it’s worth seeing, I was pleasently surprised when all my favorite ingridients were introduced one by one.

Alot of people seem to have problems with auto-updating WordPress to version 2.8.2 with the processes freezing at download, stuck with message the the file is being downloaded but nothing ever happens. This only seem to happen on some blogs, 2 out of my 3 blogs worked just fine, but one needed more help.

The problem seem to be with some plugin. Here is what you do to successfully get the update through. Go to the plugin page, select “Active” plugins and then use bulk action to deactivate all active plugins. Don’t worry if you have many plugins already deactivated and don’t want to manually activate the ones you actually used one by one, you can activate them just as easy. Now proceed with the core upgrade, it should go through right away. Then, go to the plugins page again, select “Recently active” plugins and then bulk action activate them again. All done!

If you run your WordPress blog on some hosting partner you probably have the automatic updates of WordPress core and plugins working, but if you ever setup your own Linux server and trying to run WordPress on it, it is likely that this will not work out of the box, especially if you’re running multiple websites on the same server.

I don’t want to use some 3rd party plugin for this to work or FTP, so I investigated what it is that makes it work in my hosting partners server, but not my own. I figured it was some PHP configuration missing but it was much simpler than that.

I’ve found myself looking alot at Michael Jackson material on the web since his recent early passing. I am not such as big fan of his really, but I can appreciate his genius. I thought I’d share with you one of my favorite songs from him, “give in to me”. Other favorites being “Billie Jean” ofcourse and “Dirty Diana”. R.I.P.

“Angels and demons” is the sequel to “The Da Vinci code”, also starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. This time he is following clues in the vatican to find the location of an anti-matter container which has been stolen by a secret society to revenge the church by letting the container detonate destroying most of Rome. It’s a pretty exciting movie, filled with action that keeps you on your toes most of the time, but the instensity sometimes makes it hard to follow, especially with the dialogue being in Italian sometimes and some people not speaking English clearly.

Saw “Watchmen” today. It’s a super-hero movie which plot is during the cold war in the 1980s where the world is threatened by nuclear holocaust. A group of retired super-heroes must once again come together save mankind. The movie is pretty dark, and the heroes have lots of dark sides to their personality, even evil, which is a good thing that makes the movie abit different from others in the genre. I guess it reminds abit of “The Spirit” and “Max Payne” with how the world is portrayed. I also like the ending.
