Hello All,


Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your
computer produced error message in haiku...


A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
Countless more exist

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down

- - - - - - - - - - - -

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: "File not found."

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

No keyboard present
Hit F1 to continue
Zen engineering?

- - - - - - - - - - - -

To have no errors
Would be life without meaning
No struggle, no joy

Gleb Hlebov wrote (actually, quoted) the following haiku:

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

It reminds of an episode from a lecture in Linear Algebra.
The professor (who always was or seemed a little drunk)
said: "Referring back to the equation that I have just
erased,..." I liked it.

I never said I wrote them. :-)
It belongs to "collective netlore" I guess.
I only happened to find a bunch the other day.
