Old wine, and old friend, and old gold are beloved in all places.

A quotation from The Bible

Don’t abandon old friends,
      because newer ones are not their equals.
   New friends are like new wine;
      when wine ages,
      you will drink it with good cheer.
   
[Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς φίλον ἀρχαῖον,
ὁ γὰρ πρόσφατος οὐκ ἔστιν ἔφισος αὐτῷ·
οἶνος νέος φίλος νέος·
ἐὰν παλαιωθῇ, μετ᾽ εὐφροσύνης πίεσαι αὐτόν.]

The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 9:10 (Sir 9:10) [tr. CEB (2011)]

Hey uhh #wine #linux #midi

(hopefully that combination helps the rotten grape fans to move on quickly, I need leet Linux nerds who know about wine and midi passthrough)

I have a pedal with a win/mac software controller, which uses midi to communicate with the pedal. I would like to attempt to run this under wine; is passing through midi a difficult thing with wine?

I don't even need the timing to be particularly good, as all the software is doing (for me, anyways) is managing presets, so I can have the correct PC sent for various songs.

Two Boston Terriers sit on bar stools wearing party hats, with a bottle, two glasses, and cheese arranged on the table between them. Loose black linework, painterly brushwork, and the dogs serious expressions give the scene its humor.

Wine.
