Publicity Bingo Win! Include a Shot of Jaq Easter Egg in your Next Application

balpha has created a winning page that outlines his/her success in including a Shot Of Jaq easter egg in an app. From the page:

Unicornify is a little fun project of mine that works very much like Gravatar’s identicons or monsterids. Given an MD5 hash, usually of an email address, it creates a random picture of a unicorn. Although it’s random, it will always be the same one each time the same hash is passed.

So here’s the easter egg: When you pass the hash b29b9f53a6358fae8f59237c182a45fb, which happens to be the MD5 hash of the SOJ feedback email address, you will not, as in any other case, have a picture of one unicorn, but two. And those are the unicorns created from the hashes of Jono’s and Aq’s addresses. Here’s a high-quality version of the picture — which you can’t get through the web service, but I can.

balpha even includes a code snippet as proof. Rocking work balpha, and great to see another shot on the Publicity Bingo Grid!

Apologies to Balpha for my accidental accusation of transvesticism.

I’m particularly chuffed that an app hacker got in first. Nice one Chap!

Thanks b1ackcr0w, and no offense taken from your dent. Although if you really want to launder your conscience, why don’t you take on spot P5?

  I think he should absolutely do this. Pretty simple on to tick off too.
