[ILUG] Kinda OTT, sort of but funny...

[Wynne, Conor]

Hi all,

This is not exactly related to linux - YET, maybe some of ye programmers out
there could make some additions/alterations to your next projects. I laughed
out loud, which was needed. 

Personally I have already laughed at some real errors in linux, takes the
sting right out if you ask me.
For example, here is one I came across with regards to a hardware fault....
"kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue  "

I have seen other bizarre ones but I can't remember off hand...

Best regards,
CW

(Zen and the art of computer maintenance)

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Error
messages with poetry.

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 must have been dear to you.
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.
This thousand-pound 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 seek
Must now be retyped.

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