Microsoft Error Message Haiku

JavaLamp Co ^

[SAMWolf]

In Japan, 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, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third.

Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen:

Your file was so big.
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.

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.

[HiJinx]

Please be patient, sir
The network is being probed
Your files don't belong

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! Sounds like a doctor's appointment/examination I underwent one time ! :O)

The rule for today:
Be nice to me or suffer.
New rule tomorrow.

Hysterical, SAM!

[SAMWolf]

Thnanks. It caught my eye while I as looking for some other stuff. Figured it was worth posting

[Slip18]

Rika would love the haikus. She's an expert on these things.

[RikaStrom]

Oooooo lookie! Haikus! Thanks Miss Slippy and Sam.

Updating Web Site
Vital information there
Timed-out, now it's gone

I must, I must post
I'm sorry, access denied
Boss caught me freeping

LOL, that one's a touch false, I can only freep on my lunch break.

Like sand in a glass
I watch the curser blinking
Are you sure you saved?

Where are my edits?
Search. Find. I know I saved it!
Email not "saved as"

[Slip18]

Nice Haikus, Rika!

I knew you would like this thread by SAM.

I like that one Rika. Been caught a few times myself.

Long to no see. I don't get around too much anymore on FR.

Absolutely LTNS.... I'm in the same boat with you, I don't get on too much myself.

You know, those real jobs make FReeping really hard to do, but I knew I'd have to get one eventually. I did turn my boss on to FR, but I'm still real careful not to abuse it. :-)

How has life been treating you?

[SAMWolf]

Not too bad. Can't complainreally, have a job. The family is fine. Everyone once in a while I post a non-Foxhole Thread but they're few and far between. Doing the Foxhole keep sme pretty busy.

How you been doing?

[underthesun]

Very Funny.

Thought you might find some of these very fitting.

[CougarGA7]

Here's one that can be used when we get one of those troll posts.

The post is hostile.
The DU server is down.
Get ready for ZOT.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Too bad we can't get it to come up automatically when the hit "post"

[CougarGA7]

Maybe we could send that to the System Admin so he could use it as an article modifier.

[SAMWolf]

I wonder if the Moderators are into haiku?
