For at least four years I've been perfecting a wonderful April Fools prank that was to be published at 12:01 am today, April 1. I say, was, because the content on the file no longer exists* so the April Fools joke is on myself.
Dumb decision
I decided to have one final read through and had changed two words to two other words when I noticed that the old text was being consumed by the new text as I was typing. I quickly "undid" a couple of times and zap! Blank white monitor. Reacting quickly, I failed to undo undo so immediately closed the file. I've learned the hard way that closing an unsaved file sometimes doesn't auto-save changes I've made to it, so considered closing to be a possible option for recovering the text. Nope! Nada! Zilch! Not even!
I considered rewriting it but it was just too perfect to reproduce, at least for right now. It's still on file in my brain so who knows? Maybe someday. Meanwhile,
Have a Nice April Fools Day!
*Nobody's blaming Martin Harris' wife... OK! She did it! And that George Bush too! And those Tea Party guys!!! and that one Santa's Elf who went bad, (snappy dresser though).
