Computer error messages as haiku poetry.
| Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred. |
Everything is gone; All your work has been destroyed. Squeeze trigger (yes/no)? |
Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. |
| Seeing my great fault Through darkening blue windows I begin again. |
The code was willing, It considered your request, But the chips were weak. |
Printer not ready. Could be a fatal error. Have a pen handy? |
| A file that big? It might be very useful. But now it is gone. |
Errors have occurred. We won't tell you where or why. Lazy programmers. |
Server's poor response Not quick enough for browser. Timed out, plum blossom. |
| Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. |
Login incorrect. Only perfect spellers may enter this system. |
This site has been moved. We'd tell you where, but then we'd have to delete you. |
| Wind catches lily scatt'ring petals to the wind: segmentation fault |
ABORTED effort: Save and 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. |
The Web site you seek cannot be located but endless others exist. |
| Stay the patient course Of little worth is your ire The network is down. |
A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone. |
There is a chasm of carbon and silicon the software can't bridge. |
| Yesterday it worked Today it is not working Windows is like that. |
To have no errors Would be life without meaning No struggle, no joy. |
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. |
The ten thousand things How long do any persist? Netscape, too, has gone. |
| 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. |
