~I did not write these, I am innocent:
Haiku error messages
At several companies they have replaced
the impersonal and
unhelpful Microsoft
error messages with Haiku
poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict
construction rules - each poem
has only three lines, made up of a total of
17 syllables:
5
syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, 5 in the third. They
are
used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful,
yearning
and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are 15
actual error
messages from Japan that are the essence of
Zen.

Your file was so

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.
----------------------------
Program
aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too
much.
----------------------------------
Windows NT
crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your
screams.
------------------------------
Yesterday it
worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like
that.
------------------------
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.
----------------------------
Stay the patient
course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is
down.
----------------------------
A crash
reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple
stone.
-----------------------
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.
---------------------------
Having been
erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be
retyped.
---------------------------
Serious
error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both
are blank.
