Actually, just set your date to April 1st and you can view it. ;-)

<tip type="custom prompts" author="Xav">
It is an unbelievably useful thing to change your prompt in *nix, for two
reasons.

First - I'm used to my way-old DOS days, and I want to know where I am every
single instant.  I change my prompt to declare my relative location.

Second - I change the prompt on each system to say [alagad](home) or
[libarts](school) at the very beginning, so if I leave my desk and come
back, or more likely if I'm doing a tunnelling telnet session, I know
exactly where I am.

I also like to include the "history number" and a delimeter (like "$", "&",
or "}").
I use bash, so i include it in my .bashrc file.
For more info, email me offlist
