We’d already been advised to make sure to dress appropriately (in a suit), and been constantly reminded to bring our wallets. Here’s a picture documentary of what awaited us. In short, there was no more free food or drink, the pinball machines require you to put coins in (*gasp!*), and the Wii and XBox have disappeared. I think my favourite prank was the message on the printers:

The money collected today is being donated to charity.

Here’s a group shot of all those who participated:

The Google public April Fools jokes so far include Google Australia introduucing Google gDay, Gmail adding Custom Time, and Virgin and Google cooperating for Virgle. In other news, Google China’s Search is now powered by real humans and the YouTube homepage has been rickrolled (click on any featured video)! Google Book search introduces - scratch and sniff, and Google Calendar has the Wake Up Kit!

• Yeti Sports Part VI, as well as a Pentathlon are now online
• Airtos is for you to practise your paper throwing skills.

Everybody seems to have liked Part 1 of the Yeti winter games. Well, E-medien now brings you Part 2

I’ve decided to retire the "InterestingLinks" page on my old Wiki. It used to be edited collaboratively by quite a few people, but looks as if I’m the sole person adding things on there now.

So I’ve decided to move to using MovableType for that as well, organising things a bit better and having more fun with the Blog, basically.
