Some of you may have seen this plea on www.perlmonks.org. Please ignore if you aren't interested.
We've all seen the error message haiku thingy that was run by salon a while ago. While funny, they were kind of scattered in terms of subject matter. What I'd like to do is build a publicly available database of web-centric error message haiku, like: You want that web page? Like a pebble in a lake, it is lost for now. Why web-centric? I think that'd be of most use to the most people- perl web folks, apache people, php folks, etc. Not that perl haiku aren't useful, but just too specific to be good 404 pages. I realize this isn't the most original idea, but I couldn't find a good list of web-focused haiku out there and we all need a little diversion here or there. Please go to http://haiku.geekuprising.com and put in your offerings. After a little while collecting haiku, I'll build an interface to search, download, and rank them. Thanks! Feel free to forward this out to your geeky friends! -DJCP
