KTM Lucky Country touring bike restoration - 01 - The 20€ touring bike

Yes, I'm not joking. My KTM Touring Bike costed me 20€. What? you still don't believe me?
Here's the proof. I made a screenshot of the advertisement from Willhaben (an austrian portal for buying/selling stuff). 



Well, let's see what I got for 20€!

Upgrading Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10 from 14.04 to 16.04

Upgrading Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10 from 14.04 to 16.04

I was trying to install OpenFOAM using the Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10 and I was struggling with the installation until I realized that I have not checked what Ubuntu version was installed in my Windows 10.


Of course, it was not the recommended one for OpenFOAM, the 16.04, it was the 14.04, and no matter what I did (lxrun /uninstall and then lxrun /uninstall) I was still getting the 14.04.

Then I've tried the sudo do-release-upgrade but I was getting a "screen is terminating" message and the upgrade aborted.


The solution to this problem you will find it after the jump -->

Raspberry Pi 3 + Kano OS = Eureka for Kids!!

Raspberry Pi 3 + Kano OS = Eureka for Kids!

Hello everybody!


It's been a while that I do not post anything. My job is keeping me very busy and the kids are taking the rest of my time, so very few time for new projects.


However, I managed to join my hobbies with the interest of my older kid, and I ended up buying a Raspberry Pi for a second time. The first one I bought 3 or 4 years ago, was the first version I think, but I never found the time and a nice Linux Distro to dig into, so I ended up selling it again. This time I bought a Raspberry Pi 3, which ended up being a whole out of a computer!


I'm not going to write about the Raspberry Pi 3, you can find infinite blogs talking about it. I just wanted to share you the magical combo that I have found mixing the R-PI 3 and the very nice linux distro Kano OS (http://developers.kano.me/downloads/) based on Debian.

Colección completa de Revistas Lúpin - Link de descarga

Gracias a la gente del grupo de Facebook de la Revista Lúpin (https://www.facebook.com/groups/32863048461/), pude conseguir este tesoro que es la colección completa de la revista Lúpin, los 499 números, mas todos los Suples anuales, los Suples Técnicos, las Tapas, y de yapa, todas las Pinlu.



El link de descarga del grupo de Facebook corresponde a un archivo ZIP con todas las revistas, lo que equivale a mas de 6 GB de revistuchas, así que lo que yo hice fue zippearlas de 50 en 50 para que sea mas fácil bajarlas, o por si acaso solo te faltan algunas, podás bajarte solo los paquetes con los números que te faltan, y no tengas que bajarte los 6 GB.

El link después del salto --->

Differences in the prices of the Seat Ateca (as example) in Europe

UPDATE 29/06/2016: I've checked the topic  and the 4000€ promotion in Spain are coming from the "Plan PIVE", which is a program from the spanish government to incentivate the sell of "greener" cars. A part of those 4000€ are coming from the government, another part from the manufacturer.

 

I was playing the other day with the SEAT configurator for the new Seat Ateca in the austrian website of seat (www.seat.at) and I got curious to see how big could the price difference be in comparison to the same car, for instance, in Spain (www.seat.es), Germany or Italy.

Proceso de armado de mi bici MTB partiendo de una Conor ATX 2010

Montage details of my Mountainbike starting from a spanish Conor ATX 2010


I had these old pictures in my hard drive from the transformation of my Conor ATX 2010 with 21" frame that was too big, into a 19" Thompson frame totally upgraded (only few components remaining from the Conor).


The original bike: a 26" Conor AFX 8500 with Suntour XCT fork, Shimano M486 hidraulic brakes and Shimano Alivio group.
