FUN & WHIMSICAL LAUGHTER


I have a note with this one that FERMIN SEGARRA wrote it. I don't know that for a fact, but I try to give credit where credit is due.. whoever wrote them.. great work! I loved them.

Gentler Computer Errors (or) If they only wrote error messages in Haiku...

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

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

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

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

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

  6. A file that big?
    It must be very useful
    When it can be found.

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

  8. Errors have occurred.
    We won't tell you where or why.
    Lazy programmers.

  9. Seeing my great fault
    Through darkening blue windows
    I begin again

  10. The code was willing,
    It considered your request,
    But the chips were weak.

  11. Printer not ready.
    Could be a fatal error.
    Have a pen handy?

  12. Server's poor response
    Not quick enough for browser.
    Timed out, plum blossom.

  13. Login incorrect.
    Only perfect spellers may
    enter this system.

  14. This site has been moved.
    We'd tell you where, but then we'd
    have to delete you.

  15. wind catches lily
    scatt'ring petals to the wind:
    segmentation fault

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

  17. The Web site you seek
    cannot be located but
    endless others exist

  18. Stay the patient course
    Of little worth is anger
    The network is down

  19. A crash reduces
    your expensive computer
    to a simple stone.

  20. There is a chasm
    of carbon and silicon
    the software can't bridge

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

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

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

  24. No keyboard present
    Hit F1 to continue
    Zen engineering?

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

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

  27. The ten thousand things
    How long do any persist?
    Netscape, too, has gone.

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