IMAGINE IF INSTEAD OF CRYPTIC TEXT STRINGS,
YOUR COMPUTER PRODUCED ERROR MESSAGES IN HAIKU…
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
– - – - – - – - – - – -
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
– - – - – - – - – - – -
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
– - – - – - – - – - –
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.
– - – - – - – - – - – -
The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others 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.
– - – - – - – - – - – -
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
– - – - – - – - – - – -
Error messages
cannot completely convey.
We now know shared loss.
– - – - – - – - – - – -
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
– - – - – - – - – - – -
