The Jothan Frakes Islands (.JF)
For the past 10 years I have been contributing quietly to the DNS and TLD infrastucture in both private and public companies, in a variety of technical roles. Over the course of that time, I have gotten the opportunity to work with some fantastic and brilliant people.
And there were some that have not been as kind or bright (or at least not as bright).
Being passive aggressive in nature, I took it upon myself to come up with a method of determining who was copying my source code without crediting me for it (or at very least, asking), by putting a nice little Easter Egg into one of my forms.
It started initially as a joke, but quickly proliferated.
