Montañana

A couple of weeks ago, my elder nephew and me visited the enchanting village of Montañana. It is almost unbelievable to find a village in the 21st Century which still seems to live in medieval times. The streets, the houses, the bridges, everything, I mean everything, is made of stone.

Make no mistake, this only makes it all more beautiful and out of the ordinary. Many people go visit this lovely village just because of its magic.

There is more info here And a picure here:

Blade bank

A blade bank is a must-have for any environment conscious wet shaver. There is a wide variety of blade banks. You can buy one or you can make one yourself. Your imagination is the limit.

Yesterday, I was draydreaming about a blade bank while drinking a cold beer and I suddenly got the idea. "Hey man, let's reuse this beer can as a blade bank!" I said to myself "It is slick, nice, handy and cheap. What else do you need?"

And here it is, the perfect blade bank:

New shaving gear

I recently added some new stuff to my small collection:

- One Merkur 1311 (Excellent razor). It comes in a plastic box which is pretty handy to store it and 100 Astra blades (My favourite ones).

- A new brush (The first one on the right).

New debian polo shirts

Today I got two new debian polo shirts I ordered at hellotux

The quality of the embroidery is not as good as the ones I got from debian UK but it is still good enough. I hope you like them. I am really happy with them.

Screenshot of the week 12

Screenshots are a great way of showing the world how cool your computer setup is, but at the same time they are also a reminder of what you were doing at a certain moment in time or a way of tracing how your likes and dislikes have changed over the years. I have been taking screenshots for years, but I started publishing them on a regular basis on 10 June 2011 (See screenshots label). That was when I started my "Screenshot of the week" series. And here I am again with its 12th installment.

In the series you were usually presented with the applications I used or the wallpapers I liked for some reason. Only very rarely did I show you any insight of what I was doing on my spare time. This has to change! Last weekend I watched again last year's (2014) Victoria's Secret fashion show. Each year it is getting better and better, more spectacular, entertaining and fun.

I took several screenshots at different intervals of the show. Notice that I use i3 as window manager and SMPlayer to watch these videos. (I normally use vlc but it constantly pixelates .mkv videos, so sad) 

The first one shows gorgeous Behati opening the show. (It was stunning, with a medley of Bob Seger's Hollywood Nights):

The second one is a great picture of Candice and Doutzen (in the line-up), two of the most beautiful girls in the world:

And last but not least, Adriana and Alessandra, the best models in the history of the world, talking about the impressive outfits they were going to wear in the "Exotic traveller" section. The two of them are out of this world, I love them so much...

A day out

Today I visited the "Fira de Mollerusa" (Mollerusa Trade Fair) with two of my friends. It is one of the most important trade shows that you can see around the area where I live. It is a singular event since most companies show their products out on the streets of the city. On the downside, the sky was full of clouds and it was quite cold. It was bearable during the morning but it has been raining all the afternoon so everything was ruined in the end.

It is mainly an agricultural fair. You can see tractors and other great machinery, it can even be a bit boring after a while but there was also a car exhibition where I could see an impressive sports car I had never seen before. It was an Alfa Romeo 4C. Lovely car!!!

Razor blades

I use a wide variety of razor blades from many different countries of the world:
Germany, Egypt, Japan, U.K, Greece, Turkey, Korea, Russia ...

There is a great article about razor blades here. In order to know the origin of some of these blades in more detail, take a look at this post
