Watch the end of the Nokia ‘Snake’ game

I’ m sure you once had a Nokia Phone with the infamous ‘Snake’ game in it. Have you ever beaten it? This 13 minutes GIF animation shows you how it’s done: Nokia Snake Game (normal speed)

Of course, if you’re as impatient as I am, you can watch the accelerated (down to 2 minutes) version instead1: Nokia Snake Game (accelerated)

  1. I dare you to stop watching it before it finishes. You know you can’t.

For Sale: Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Prime Lens

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4GI have a Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G prime lens for sale. It comes in it’s original box and includes all it’s original accessories (lens hood, front and rear lens caps, soft pouch), plus an extra UV filter. You can check out its full specifications here or here.

It is a great lens, in mint condition and the reason I am selling it is that I haven’t used it for a long time as I find that it no longer suits my shooting style.

I’m selling it for Eur280. If you are interested, and in the Athens area (I prefer a face-to-face transaction, so that you can see the lens before you buy it) send me an email.

World Backup Day

World Backup Day was on March, 31 (yesterday, as I write this).

Do you keep regular backups? If not, start now (here’s a guide to give you some ideas). If you do keep regular backups, good for you! But, have you ever tested that they work? Testing your backups is equally important. You don’t want to find out that something is wrong with them after a disaster, when you need them most. So, if you didn’t do any of the above yesterday, go do it now1!

  1. And set a reminder for next year on March, 31.

BBC Radio Drama of the Week: Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere

I just found out that, about two weeks ago, BBC Radio 4 has begun broadcasting an audio version of Neal Gaiman’s Neverwhere, starring the voices of actors such as James McAvoy, Natalie Dormer, David Harewood, Benedict Cumberbatch AND Christopher Lee!

Thankfully, for those of us not in the UK, BBC has made the episodes available both on their web site AND as a podcast. The only downside is that the podcast feed only contains the latest episode, so if you — like me — just found out about this, you have to listen to the fist 5 episodes on the web.

Have you tried listening to audiobooks before? It’s a good way to pass the time during a daily commute to work. Give it a try.
