if you are going to post an easter egg, you should be more concise and complete in your posting. eg; what version of the screensaver, on which operating system (and its version optionally), and how you found it.

I have seen it work in 98, but it does not work in XP.

That easter egg is for Windows NT SP3, there are two more easter eggs in the screensavers, one is Not Evil and the other is I Love NT.

SVN as windows service calling post-commit hanging as not asynchronous on Wed 19th Dec 1pm
As any script you put inside post-commit.bat seems to be called synchronously, and doesnt inform the svn client that the commit has finished until the script has finished. I had to write a calling application which just starts the script in a new thread.
