Reasonably nice day

altivoAnother guild newsletter done and released. Time to get serious about the garden, except that the mosquitoes are as big as eagles out there.
Saw a hummingbird in the butterfly garden at work this morning, busy flitting among the penstemon blossoms. Those are white, rather than red, but do have the trumpet shape that these birds seem to like. Catalpas and horse chestnuts are in bloom, and will last only a couple of days unless it cools off. (Or no time at all if we get more hard rain and wind.)
All the patches are now up to date on the two Alpha systems, so at least in theory, I am ready to install Samba. I did finally manage to download the installation kit. Curiously enough, it seems that HP's own web browser for OpenVMS fails to submit the registration form properly, but Firefox on Linux succeeds. So I downloaded it to a Linux box and then transferred to the Alphas via sftp.
Those tasks done, maybe I get to read or something this evening... Maybe.....
