Note to self on April Fool’s Day

Just making sure that I don’t fall for the same jokes on April 1 next year, I’m posting this note to self:

  • Watch out your email on March 31, 2008 at 23:59:59. Better yet, create a filter that all emails coming form that time and in the next 24 hours to be labeled “Possibly an Aprilk Fool’s Joke”.
  • Don’t always believe that your favorite blog has been hacked at exactly April 1, just after the clock strikes 12.
  • If it’s too good to be true, then it’s not true.

That’s it. Hopefully, I won’t get fooled again next year, though it was fun while it lasted. Actually, I was able to fool a friend myself, just before the day ended. :p

Belated Happy April’s Fool to everyone! ;)

    I am not fond of April Fool’s day. That probably explains why nobody tried to play tricks with me. Maybe next year you can send me something fun guys :-)
