I developing a website for Geoff Tate, the lead singer of Queensryche. The URL is:
geofftate.com .
A while back, I saw this feature on another website that really blew my mind. It was either java or perl based. At any rate, it was an "Easter Eggs" script. By that I mean this: I want to put hidden material on my site. That material might be streaming videos, images, downloads (screensavers, etc) or anything else that might be of interest to us to "hide".
Here's how I'd like it to work....I have a small icon of an Easter Egg. I would like this icon (a gif) to show up randomly on different html files throughout my site. Actually, on any html file on my site. But, the trick is I do not want this "egg" to show up on the same html file over and over... I want it to change with each visit to the site (no matter who the visitor might be). Then, if and when the "egg" shows up on the site, if the visitor clicks on it, he/she will be taken to a hidden URL to where they will be treated to something special (as mentioned, video, audio, photos, you name it).
Here's the catch....Because this egg will randomly show up on different html files throughout my site, it will essentially point to the same hidden URL over and over again. I do not want this to happen. If this is to happen, once one visitor finds the hidden URL, they'll be able to go post this URL on our Message Board and anyone will be able to access it. So, once the person finds the egg, I would like the HTML file to hidden material to change, be renamed, whatever.
Not sure if any of this is possible via Perl and/or Java. But I thought I'd at least give it a shot. Maybe there's something already out there that does such a thing? Who knows. But if someone is willing to take on such a challenge, or ever point me to someone/someplace that would be GREAT.
Thanks!
