Error logged


I've mentioned the found poetry of the error message.
One of the software concoctions keeping me entertained at the moment is particularly prone to the odd snort of poesis. This morning it offered:
Uncaught galaxy exception
On second thoughts, this may not after all be a Miltonic tag for the cosmic misdeeds of Lucifer, but instead Professor Hawking’s latest workaround for black holes.
Splendidly, while I was musing the poetics of this crash, the computer upped the ante:
Crash within crash
Bravo, machine. It only leaves us to ask whether a crash that crashes means thateverything’s all right.
