Zombies, Run! | Free Halloween missions coming soon to Zombies, Run!

We wanted to do something a little bit special to celebrate Halloween this year, so we’ve created 3 free Halloween missions for Zombies, Run!

Because Zombies, Run! already contains a lot of zombies and other scary things, we had to think outside the box in order to come up with these new Halloween missions. As a result, they’re super daft and very fun.

You’ll notice that these missions are separate from the canon and, as a result, can be played by anyone regardless of where you are in the story. Think of them as the Treehouse of Horror of Zombies, Run! The… Sports Bra of Terror? Don’t worry, we’ll think up something catchier than that…

There are 3 Halloween missions in total and we will be releasing them, one a day, in the run-up Halloweek (see what we did there?). We’ll have more spooky info on these as we approach that ominous day, so keep scarily checking the blog. With fear.

Why do you use Blender? (Survey) | Blender Guru

There has been a lot of talk recently of improving the UI of Blender. Andrew Price of Blender Guru has put up a survey of the Blender user-base . You can find it at the link below.

Google rolling out ‘I’m feeling lucky radio’ to Play Music on Android and the web

I saw this on the latest update to Play Music the other day. Must say, I’m enjoying it.

I passed the Linux Essentials exam, so should get the certificate in the post in the next few days. Then at least I can add it to my LinkedIn profile. Next step, LPIC-1 :)

Here’s my confirmation of passing (blanked for obvious reasons). The only thing I have trouble with was Security and File Permissions. It would be nice to know WHICH questions I got wrong so I can target specifically my revision….

Linux Training

Linux Professional Institute Logo

I’m going to make the leap and go for my first Linux Exam this week. I’m taking the introductory exam – the Linux Essentials exam. Whilst not a mandatory requirement for the main LPIC certification, it is a recommended one. And it can’t hurt knowing more than needed. Besides, I’ve already booked a proper training (seminar/group) week next year for the LPIC-1 course. I’ll probably book the LPIC-2 course too, whilst I can still afford it. :-\
