random musings of a very bored programmer:

system programmers (like myself) so rarely get a chance to sneak eastereggs into products in places that anyone will ever see them...

I myself have only managed to pull it off once: I wrote a web server for this embedded system that has this row of software controled LEDs on the top of it...if you logged in with username hasselhoff and then used the regular admin password it would make the LEDs do a night rider sequence for a few minutes...but like most eastereggs I left enough clues for a user to find it, so eventually QA found it and I got in a little trouble (so worth it though)...

I've thought of putting return to zork on the CLI of a firewall or an IPS, but where would I hide all that code...

anyone else got any suggestions?
