Fino

Fino ("refined" in Spanish) is the driest and palest of the traditional varieties of Sherry and Montilla-Moriles fortified wine. They are consumed comparatively young, and unlike the sweeter varieties should be consumed soon after the bottle is opened as exposure to air can cause them to lose their flavour within hours.

Flor

The defining component of Fino sherries is the strain of yeast known as flor that floats in a layer on top of sherry in the wine barrel. Until the mid-19th century most sherry winemakers did not understand what this yellowish foam that randomly appeared in some of their barrels was. They would mark these barrels as "sick" and relegate them to their lowest bottlings of wine. It turned out that this strain of Saccharomyces yeast throve in air, and the more "head room" there was in the barrel the more likely it was to develop. Over time winemakers noticed that these wines were lighter and fresher than their other sherries, with the flor acting as a protective blanket over the wine that shielded it from excessive oxidation.

Fino (river)

The Fino is a river in eastern central Italy. Its source is near Monte Camicia in the province of Teramo in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The river flows northeast and then curves east before flowing past Bisenti. It continues flowing eastward and crosses into the province of Pescara near Elice. The river flows southeast until it joins the Tavo river and the two rivers become the Saline river.

FINO

In computer science, FINO (Sometimes seen as "FISH", for First In, Still Here) is a humorous scheduling algorithm. It is an acronym for "First In Never Out" as opposed to traditional "first in first out" (FIFO) and "last in first out" (LIFO) algorithms.

FINO works by withholding all scheduled tasks permanently. No matter how many tasks are scheduled at any time, no task ever actually takes place. This makes FINO extremely simple to implement, but useless in practice. A stateful FINO queue can be used to implement a memory leak.

A mention of FINO appears in the Signetics 25120 write-only memory joke datasheet.

    Where We Are Now

    by: Vanna

    I just can't get the ending right.
    I'm so desperate tonight.
    It seems only right to let the shadows lead the way.
    If I could only just decide.
    To let go of my insides.
    I know that I'll never have to feel this way again.
    And I'm caught in between.
    My waking life and dreams.
    Death's just as lonely as before.
    I still remember you when.
    This is all too familiar now.
    I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
    I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
    What was it that I came here for?
    They held us down.
    But now we're breaking loose.
    We swore that we'd let nothing stand in our way.
    And when I'm gone.
    I will come back to haunt you.
    I'll still watch over you my love.
    When you're on your way to me.
    Don't forget the taste of me.
    And don't forget the feel of me.
    With my arms around you.
    Those memories will never fade.
    Like all the promises we made.
    This is all too familiar now.
    I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
    I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
    What was it that I came here for?
    From below. The sun will rise.
    And give us time to clear our heads.
    The end is breathing down my neck.
    Though hope is all that we have left.
    The pain in understanding. Why we can't take it all back.
    It's time to finally let go. Of everything we've known.
    This is all too familiar now.
    I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
    I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
    What was it that I came here for?
    I swear I'll find you before I drift away.
    This is all too familiar now.
    I know I've seen this place before. But I just don't recall.
    I don't feel like I'm awake. But I'm not dreaming.
