Easter Egg
There have been rumors and allegations that there was a so-called “easter egg” added to 2.6 early in its development. These rumors and allegations are completely false!
That got me curious… :) So I went on Google to research this further.
Unlocking the easter egg
Apparently what you need to do is after saving a post you scroll down to “Post Revisions” and then click one of the revisions. At that point you should be able to compare a revision with itself (by selecting both left and right radio buttons at the same revision and click “Compare Revisions”). What happens next is pretty cool.
Here is a video that shows you what happens:

Easter eggs are always fun :) Have you upgraded your blog (if you’re using WordPress)? It’s always smart to upgrade as soon as possible, not just for the cool new features but also because of security risks.

I’ll back you up on this one. It does indeed work. I just did it… although not on my main site. I’m waiting on a new version of a plugin before I upgrade it. LOL, funny as heck. Got to love a software developer with a sense of humor.

@poems: Yeah, I’m always quite busy - I also just came back home from a long vacation. But I’ll try to post a new blog post in a few days.
