Why not just set your system clock back a day or so on April 1st until
April 2nd to avoid it in the first place if you're using a dev release?
Of course that assumes OpenSim gets the time and date from the system
rather than NTP... I'm not sure lol.<br>
<br>
As for the people who don't have a heads up on this I don't know what
to say.<br>

<div>Note that: 1. These pranks are a more than just a bit

Beware, we have one month before April Fool's day. Gremlins have<br>
been known to appear in OpenSim on April Fool's day. If you have<br>
critical demo's on April 1st, don't use OpenSim! :-D You have been<br>
warned!<br>
