  • Christine running on MS Win32



    Finally!!!, Christine, my beloved media player is running on Windows, this is something that I really wanted to do for the next release. I had spend the last nights trying to compile it, first I tried to compile GStreamer, then I realized that there are binaries in the GStreamer WinBuilds project, with a little less work, I tried to compile Christine using cygwin, but it didn't worked. Then using the Python's distutils I compiled the C modules and I created a binary with Py2exe

    There it is, running. I still have a lot of work to do, because Christine is written for UNIX and several technologies like Dbus are not in win32, although it seems to be in progress.

    I'm running it on a virtual machine and I haven't tested if it really plays something, I'll give a try tomorrow.

    For tonight I'm happy :-)

  • La Caldera

    All work and no play makes Markuz a dull boy

    Yesterday Cristina, Sofia, xbitcarry and his family and I went to "La Caldera" a watering place near to Irapuato, more precisely on Abasolo, Guanajuato.

    We had a really nice day, we arrive early in the morning to xbitcarry's house, and we went to the supermarket to buy the meat some delicious chicken and arracheras that we cook in the grill, they where more delicious because of the effort that we have to do just to fire the coal.
    Once we ate, the kids went to the pool, I was playing with Sofia in the pool too until she start crying. Then Cristina took care of Sofia and xbitcarry and I went to the slides, really nice, I love "The black hole" a "black" slide, the first time you don't know what the hell is happening or where are you going to end (maybe in the floor with several injuries), at the end it was funny. When we get back to our family they went again to the pool, I think they had a nice day too.
    At the end we get to xbitcarry's house again for dinner, and get back to Salamanca to take a bath and sleep :-). I love last Sunday, was one of those days where I don't use the computer but I didn't notice, I just don't have that need to hit the keyboard.
    We had a good day and I hope we repeat then from time to time, just to free my mind and increase the friendship
