Welcome to the latest issue of Full Circle.
This month we have a new series. Elmer Perry (LibreOffice) returns to the fold to show you how to use Freeplane. Freeplane is a mindmapping tool. If mindmapping isn't your thing, don't worry we still have Great Cow Basic, and Inkscape. Regarding Python, I have heard back from Greg who's recovering from an illness. So feel free to send him emails of encouragement.
Elsewhere in this issue we have a review from Lucas on Able2Extract 12. I reviewed it way back when it was at version 10 and was very impressed with its conversions. Version 11 seemed to have no Linux edition (which is a bit odd) and while version 12 did need a tweak from Lucas to get it running, it does seem to be going from strength to strength.
With Linux Labs, Charles is looking at desktop memory usage. Just where does all that memory go? While Chris Binnie makes a return looking at nice little BASH time savers.
I don't know about where you are, but here in the UK we're bracing for the impact of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations - an upgrade to the UK's aging Data Protection laws) which comes into full force in May this year. It does mean that I've had to look into full-drive encryption for some Windows work machines. So, in true FCM fashion, I'm doing a write up on how I did full-drive encryption on a Windows 7 machine. Fear not, it's the exact same procedure, and software (Veracrypt) for Linux. I'm hoping to be all topical and squeeze it in next month.
All the best, and keep in touch! Ronnie ronnie@fullcirclemagazine.org
