    Gleb Hlebov:

    Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your
    computer produced error message in haiku...

    Gleb Hlebov wrote (actually, quoted) the following haiku:

    Having been erased,
    The document you're seeking
    Must now be retyped.

    It reminds of an episode from a lecture in Linear Algebra.
    The professor (who always was or seemed a little drunk)
    said: "Referring back to the equation that I have just
    erased,..." I liked it.

    Hello Anton,

    I never said I wrote them. :-)
    It belongs to "collective netlore" I guess.
    I only happened to find a bunch the other day.
