My Happy Tuesday Offering :-)
Oct. 14th, 2008 11:52 amThis is not new, but it was new to me. I heard it in one of my dharma podcasts - then went to find the text online - it made me smile.
COMPUTER HAIKU
Apparently, in Japan, they have replaced the inpersonal unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages.
Here are some of the improved error messages from Japan -
Your file was so big
It might be very useful
but now it is gone
The website 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.
The thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky
But we never will.
