Death, taxes, and lost data.

Guess which has occurred.

ccasady: you crashed

demjohn: AA: is that url for haikus?

ccasady: What did I miss?

Meta AuntiAlias: oh, this is from someone who may have been at Meta, Peter Rothman.. if it's the same Peter Rothman

Windows NT crashed.

I am the Blue Screen of Death.

No one hears your screams.

The code was willing,

It considered your request,

But the chips were weak.

rvanderlippe: Errors have occurred.

We won't tell you where or why.

Lazy programmers.

Meta AuntiAlias: A file that big?

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

demjohn: AA: that one is so true. thank god i'm a MacDaddy (Mac user, not a pimp) <laugh>

Clay: LOL

Meta AuntiAlias: This site has been moved.

We'd tell you where, but then we'd

have to delete you.

desdanova: Uh huh, I see, go on....

rvanderlippe: First snow, then silence.

This thousand dollar screen dies

so beautifully.

Meta AuntiAlias: Login incorrect.

Only perfect spellers may

enter this system.

ccasady: That's beautiful Richard

rvanderlippe: lol :)

Meta AuntiAlias:

ABORTED effort:

Close all that you have.

You ask way too much.

rvanderlippe: can't take credit :)

A crash reduces

your expensive computer

to a simple stone.

Meta AuntiAlias:

Stay the patient course

Of little worth is your ire

The network is down

rvanderlippe: my personal favorite ...

Yesterday it worked

Today it is not working

Windows is like that

desdanova: oh, so AA has crib notes?

ccasady: well, stunning none the less

rvanderlippe: sorry Susan :)

Meta AuntiAlias: yes,I like that one too!

no problem!

demjohn: david comes to town. incredible hulk kicks butt. david disappears

Meta AuntiAlias:

You step in the stream,

but the water has moved on.

This page is not here.

rvanderlippe: No keyboard present

Hit F1 to continue

Zen engineering?

demjohn: that haiku accurately describes the plot of every single incredible hulk episode from the 70s <heheheheh>

Meta AuntiAlias:

No keyboard present

Hit F1 to continue

Zen engineering?

lol!

rvanderlippe: lol

Meta AuntiAlias:

Having been erased,

The document you're seeking

Must now be retyped.

rvanderlippe: >>Rather than a beep

>>Or a rude error message,

>>These words: "File not found."

lol - not even stripping off the carets now :)

Meta AuntiAlias: Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeared.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

oh, sorry

Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeared.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

rvanderlippe:

The ten thousand things

How long do any persist?

Netscape, too, has gone.

Meta AuntiAlias: Having been erased,

The document you're seeking

Must now be retyped.

here's a column about how this stuff traveled over the net

I gotta say I'm happy to have seen it at the source

http://www.salon.com/21st/rose/1998/02/24straight.html

rvanderlippe: thanks :)

demjohn: i'm not a star trek fan, but i'm flipping through channels, and i see captain picard wearing cyan-colored boxer shorts, with a circle of hearing aid batteries in his hand...what the hell kind of episode is this?

i'm not joking either...i really just saw that

Meta AuntiAlias:

I ate your Web page.

Forgive me. It was juicy

And tart on my tongue.

demjohn: (in homer simpson voice) MMMMMMMMM. TART. <DROOL>

Meta AuntiAlias: okay.....

next time, for Open Mic night, we'd better get REAL original haiku, and not merely quoted, hilarious haiku!

; )

demjohn: AA: i'm down ;)

Meta AuntiAlias: Well, I think we've exceeded the wrap up time.

rvanderlippe: I'm all for that - good article btw - always wondered WHO wrote all those :)

Meta AuntiAlias: Uh, last call!
