Haiku Computer Error Messages

These, and others, were found here. (I've altered a couple, inscrutably.)

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Seeing my great fault
Through darkening blue windows
I begin again
- - - - - - - - - - - -
A file that big?
It might have been useful.
But now it is gone.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Server's swift response
Not quick enough for browser.
Timed out, plum blossom.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers
shall enter this system.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
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 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
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Yesterday it worked
Today it is serene
Windows is like that
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
That page is not here.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But never will we.

I'm glad you liked it, R. I tried to respond in haiku, but my talents don't seem to extend much in that direction.

I'm glad you didn't, because then I would feel the need to do the same, and I lack talent in that area as well.
