Yesterday rowing while listening to Scott Weiland and The Wildabouts and their album Blaster. Was actually not aware of it when picking the album, but I have listened to him a lot before when he was part of Stone Temple Pilots. Anyhow, Blaster, quite enjoyable, but not really work out music. Not really sure if I will listen to the album several times, but I won’t turn off the music if it comes on the radio.

Spinning to The Sonics
…The Sonics are an American garage rock band from Tacoma, Washington, originating in the early 1960s.[1] Among the Sonics’ contemporaries were the Kingsmen, the Wailers, the Dynamics, the Regents, and Paul Revere & the Raiders. Their aggressive, hard-edged sound has been a major influence on punk, garage, and hard rock music worldwide, and they’ve been named as inspirations by Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, The Fall, and other major artists….

“This is the Sonics” was released just now, and was quite enjoyable, might listen to the album several times when working out.
Spinning to Teenage Bottlerocket
Three days ago, spinning to Teenage Bottlerocket. In the car I won’t listen to them again, but I might actually listen to the album several times when working out. Enjoyed all but last song which was a ballad which is not enjoyable when I want to work out.
Finished trimming the spruce hedge
Finished trimming the spruce hedge this year. Had not done it last year so it was a pretty hard job this time, takes a couple of hours. It is starting to get as high as it can be allowed to, so I need to cut the top of it pretty hard each year now.
Iver said that he could see the whole world from the top of the ladder.

Headlight bulb replacement
Had to replace the headlight bulb on my Mondeo, which is quite easy and one of the things that the engineers at Ford actually has planned very well. The most difficult part is actually to remove the grill, not because that itself is difficult, but I’m always afraid that I will damage it. But, it is just to be firm when pulling it off, and then it is removed within two seconds. The whole operation is done in less than 3-4 minutes.

How to get uptime for a Windows service
Needed to know the uptime of a service on a Windows 2012 server to verify that the suggested solution for restarting all Splunk Universial Forwarders did work, see answers.splunk.com/../how-can-i-restart-all-my-forwarders.
Solution found here /blogs.technet.com/…/how-can-i-get-the-uptime-of-a-service, did make some minor adjustments to the vbscript as shown below.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_Service WHERE displayname = 'SplunkForwarder'")
For Each objService in colServices
intProcessID = objService.ProcessID
Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_Process Where ProcessID = " & intProcessID)
For Each objProcess in colProcesses
Wscript.Echo objService.Name + "/" + objProcess.Name + " " + objProcess.CreationDate
Next

Running it from the Powershell prompt like this PS D:\Temp> cscript.exe .\uptime.vbs
