Today’s Wine
With today’s wine, we return to Italy. It’s a 2017 Collavini Merlot. It’s a wonderfully smooth wine, both in terms of feel and finish, bright ruby red, with berries and plum flavors on the tongue. While I would not call this dry, neither is it sweet, so let’s go with ‘medium dry’. The nose is lightly floral. This is one of those inexpensive wines that I love so much. Here, at the LCBO (the Ontario liquor store), it runs at $8 a bottle.
Enjoy!

Today’s Featured Topic
The death of Linux Journal.
Nearly two years ago, in December, Linux Journal closed its doors. Then, out of nowhere, a saviour appeared and brought the magazine back to life. Less than a month had passed. And now, most likely for the final time, Linux Journal, the original magazine of the Linux community, closes its virtual doors.
Distribution Focus
Today’s featured distribution is going to sound like one I’ve covered before, but it’s also one that changes fundamentally on a seemingly regular basis. This is Netrunner version 19.08, code named “Indigo”.
Aside from being a really good looking distribution, this one is based on yet another, extremely recent distribution, Debian 10, code named “Buster”.

Olive
The Olive Video Editor is something I’ve been taking a look at for a couple of interesting reasons. For one, I’m always looking at other tools to do videos. I currently use Kdenlive for most of my PC based work, but it’s always interesting to look at other things. This one is new and rather promising. It also supports Linux, Windows, and Mac as well.
For the most recent versions of Olive, you can visit GitHub which has, among other things, AppImage files. These are cool because you can just run them, as opposed to installing a package.
Let’s talk about stuff and things. Maybe.
Until next time . . . A votre santé! Bon appétit!
