Easter eggs at bookofjoe?
Easter eggs — virtual fillips or extras hidden from obvious view within websites or software programs to give their discoverer a frisson of surprise — started appearing on bookofjoe years ago, but no one's ever remarked on them nor have I.
So here's one form they take: You may have noticed that hyperlinks appear from time to time in posts; well, sometimes when it's a person's name and there's more information than can be conveyed by a single source, I link the first and last names separately, such that clicking on one or the other will take you to two completely different places.
For example, yestedays's 10:01 a.m. post about JDSupra.
If you just glance at it you'll see what appears to be a link to Carl Malamud's name.
Only by slowing down a bit does it become apparent that there is a separation in the underline link indicator between his first and last names.
Two names, two links — in this case.
Nota bene: I will never try to trick you by separately linking both first and last names to the same place.
You're far too busy and important for me to waste even a yoctosecond of your valuable time.
As if.

I thought everyone did this sort of thing...though I hate it when people don't put a spacer between the hyperlinks...thats annoying.
