Win Jokosher

Recently, me (with no programming experience except PHP) and a friend (similar experience) have been looking into porting Jokosher to Windows. I’ve been floating round the web looking for sites that give me some idea, and I’ve set up a public Google notebook to keep track of these sites and information. What I’m after here is any other sites or information that could guide me or help me. The language is python, and the framework is Gstreamer. What I’m after is how I’m going to use the dependencies that Jokosher uses.

Any help or info would be much appreciated.

GCSEs

A couple of days ago I got my GCSE results. I was going to post them sooner but I was held off by the fact that the majority of the past 2 days have been a blur . I’ve got an A* in Maths; As in Chemistry, Physics and IT; Bs in English, Geography and Biology; Cs in French and Spanish, and a D in RS. I’m very pleased with them considering that the lower the grade the less important I felt the subject in question was. It’s also very good results for the A level courses I’m planning on taking: maths, physics, electronics and computing, and I’m really looking forward to it.

The only thing I’m not particularly looking forward to is Computing. In the other colleges they give you a choice on what you want to do programming wise, but in the one I’m going to they force you to study Visual BASIC and nothing else. Not good considering I’m a linux boy. Can anyone with experience in these matters tell me how knowing Visual BASIC will benifit me (i.e. what languages it is alike to… etc)? This also means I will have to install windows again and download Visual BASIC for there. *sigh*, don’t you just love proprietary standards.

The G-sides

I am a massive fan of the Gorillaz, so upon hearing a fantastic song that I’d never heard before on Last.fm, I jumped up and immediately found out which album it was that I was missing. I picked up a copy of “G sides” (2002) and listening to is great. There are some brilliant remixes on there and brilliant original songs as well. One that stuck me down immediately was “Left Hand Suzuki Method”. It’s been pieced together in a unique way, and well, it sounds amazing. It’s by far less commercial than either of the other two albums, and I suggest that any Gorillaz fans try it out.
