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.
As for the people who don't have a heads up on this I don't know what to
say.

Ok so let me get this straight.. since I am NOT the coder here of my
personal Sim as you put it, then I am to expect it to Fail or screw up
because the coders who you say "Own" the code ( which by that logic
means they own my sim ) can deliberately crash the sim all because of
a Stupid holiday prank ? They deliberately put code in there to screw
up EVERYONE who has a sim that is a DEV version ?
So all those poor people who have that, which I know a lot, will get a
bad surprise ( and not all of them are even IN this group ) .. and
some who have been trying so hard to keep it running, are going to
think that something major is wrong on that day not thinking it was
all a prank and either A.) give up, or B.) loose all their faith in
opensim because of this crap ?
I'm sorry, but does this seem right to anyone here ? Or is this
something that all of you are in agreement with here ?

The april 1 pranks typically only affect non-release versions of
opensim and have never, to my knowlege, crashed anyone's grid.
More typically, everyone's avatar will be rendered as a stick
figure or plywood box. Again, these pranks typically only impact head.
Note that: 1. These pranks are a more than just a bit juvenile,
but 2. the code belongs to the devs who write it, not to the users
who run it and 3. Don't run dev code on prduction servers if you
dont like surprises.
Oh and 4. don't expect a lot of sympathy about your 'getting
pissed', as you have been more than adequately warned.
Cheers,
James

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