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. |
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return. |
Three things are certain:
death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred. |
A file that big?
It might be very useful,
but now it is gone. |
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams. |
Errors have occurred.
We won't tell you where or why.
Lazy programmers. |
Seeing my great fault
through darkening blue windows,
I begin again |
The code was willing.
It considered your request,
but the chips were weak. |
Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy? |
Server's poor response
not quick enough for browser.
Timed out, plum blossom. |
Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
enter this system. |
This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where, but then we'd
have to delete you. |
Wind catches lily
Scatt'ring petals to the wind.
Segmentation fault. |
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much. |
The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist. |
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down. |
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone. |
There is a chasm
of carbon and silicon
the software can't bridge. |
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that. |
To have no errors
would be life without meaning.
No struggle, no joy. |
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here. |
No keyboard present.
Hit F1 to continue.
Zen engineering? |
Hal, open the file.
Hal, open the damn file, Hal,
open the, please Hal... |
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. |
The ten thousand things.
How long do any persist?
Netscape, too, has gone. |
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. |
