April Fool's Day is an appropriate occasion for me to stage an elaborate return to the blogosphere. You'll never believe me when I say that I'm making more of an effort to update the world with what is happening. So, there's no pressure at all!
Make sure to check out
Wikipedia's
list of hoaxes for today. My favorites were the
Mahalo Daily interview with Steve Jobs and
YouTube's
"Rick Roll" featured videos.
And finally, here's my prank for the day. I sent the following message to the
Denim Group staff when I arrived at the office this morning:
1 April 2008 - SECURITY UPDATE
As part of an ongoing effort to secure external communication, the IT Team is immediately implementing a new method of secure data transmission, IP over Avian Carriers. Since the Internet can no longer be trusted to transport corporate information, the VPN will be deactivated within the hour. Any internal communication with remote workers must occur by homing pigeon. The birds will be available today, April 1, in the IT office.
We will strictly adhere to the standard laid out in RFC 2549.
The IT Team has compiled a visual aid to ease the transition for all employees, especially our remote workers. Please refer to it as we implement this critical improvement to our infrastructure.
