Computer Haiku (June, 1998)
Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings,
your computer produced error messages in haiku....
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
--------------------------
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 Report" 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.
--------------------------
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
--------------------------
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
--------------------------
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
--------------------------
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.
--------------------------
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.
--------------------------
