Happy First Day of April To You

You all know what that means…

HAXX0R3D

For those of you that missed out, I got some people all in a huff when I played boy-who-cried-“Hackers!”. (I think Anil’s post probably applies in this situation.)

But I wish to argue that it was, rather, an exercise in the beauty and power of CSS. With a simple CSS include, I pulled in this tiny bit of CSS:

 body {
    background: black url(http://plasticmind.com/images/harhar.gif) no-repeat top left !important;
 } 
 #header, #content, #footer { 
    display: none !important; 
 }

And voila! Goodbye Plasticmind, hello Future Crew!
