What is Mark Shuttleworth's "Easter eggs" blog a reference to? [closed]
- by fluteflute
I saw this blog post today, and I was wondering if there's some meaning within the Ubuntu community that I've missed? (I know what an easter egg is in a computer context.)
One of our ducks has started dropping eggs in random locations in the
garden. I don’t know which duck, but I assume it’s one of the new
females we took in from the SPCA, who hasn’t figured out “nesting”
yet. I do love ‘em but they’re not African Grey’s in the IQ
department. Anyhow, I think I finally understand why people hide eggs
in the garden at Easter. Because ducks used to do it for them! I
suppose, for millennia, this has been the season to go hunting for
eggs. Now we just substitute chocolate ones instead.
For the moment, I’ve kept them in a cool shady spot while I keep an
eye out for an actual nest. If a polecat doesn’t find them first, I
may be able to slip them onto the nest in time for them to get hatched
along with some cousins.
