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 :-)
