Celica photo shoot

This afternoon we made a small photo shoot of the celica. I hope you like it. Thanks to Jesus for the cool pics.

Celestial celica

I have been dreaming about this car ever since I was a teenager. Well, twenty years ago the model was really different, the headlights were round but the sports look and feel were more or less the same.

To tell you the truth, I used to dream about the 1990's model, it is the one that stole my heart. They are not very difficult to find on the net but to be sincere, that model is a relatively old car, not yet a classic, I hope you see the difference and get what I mean.

I already own a toyota and I'm very happy with it. It is the most reliable car I've ever had so far but it is simply not a celica ;)

When toyota stopped producing celicas in 2005 I thought that I would never be able to get one. But guess what, I went to a car fair last weekend (I usually go to all of them) and found it. This happens to be the 2005 model and thus the very last one in production.

Well, I couldn't resist and bought it, so now I have a small collection of toyotas at home, which is cool. I hope to get a discount in my next acquisition for being a faithful customer ;)

Here you are a couple of pictures I took at the fair. I'll upload more photos soon, I want to find a lovely background to show off how knockout my celica looks. Absolutely stunning, isn't it?

Here comes the sun.

I know it took a while until I could place the solar panels in the right location but I've been busy all summer long.

I bought four solar panels at the end of July and they arrived at the beginning of August. First, I made a provisional installation to see if they worked correctly and they did, but they could not take advantage of direct sunlight all day long.

I started building the frame to hold eight big solar panels and I did all the work to put it on the roof of the house. Today I have finally "uploaded" the four initial solar panels and connected the cables. They have been producing good electricity all the afternoon. "Good" as in both "environmental friendly" and " for free", or "gratis".

If the results are good, I'm gonna get four more for Christmas. They are really cheap now so it is the right time to do it.

Here are some pics:

GNU 30th anniversary

Always the sun

I'm double enjoying this nice sunny weather ;)

Debian GNU/Hurd successfully installed

I have successfully installed the 2013 version of the debian GNU/Hurd port. So far it is only inside a virtual machine but I may install it in a partition once I get more used to how it works.

A default installation does not include a lot of software. That's where the power of debian comes in handy. You know the drill apt-get install...

(Credits go to MrFrood for finding the gnu ascii art below, and showing me how to include it.)

Debian GNU/Hurd

The Debian GNU/Hurd team announced the release of Debian GNU/Hurd 2013.

I downloaded the image last night. I need to remember to login as root without a password. This is a screenshot of the OS in action.
