Snake knot lanyard

I made this lanyard following instructions on Stormdrane's blog. Attaching two different paracords together was tricky and I ended up with the frayed end showing up a little. I also realized that this knot can easily get undone and thus ended up gluing the ends with crazy glue. I have made a few more since then and I modified the technique a little.
As Stormdrane mentions on his website, if you use crazy glue to glue two cords together the joint becomes very stiff and hard to knot. So I included this glued section in the straight part of the cord around which the knot is tied. So you end up with two different colored loops at the end of the lanyard, which is not a big deal for me.
