The Philosophy of Errors

When fixing a link's source on my music blog (you've been to my music blog on Vox, haven't you?) I received this error message:


I hesitated to click OK. In doing so, was I agreeing not to harbor ill will toward the error message for failing to complete my search? Even though said error message then added insult to injury by flippantly admitting subsequent search attempts may be in vain? And that, although "they" are sorry, shit happens?

(I am excellent at reading between the lines.)

I clicked OK.

Let's go steady!

Yeah, there is a drawback to creating smarter, hipper error messages - that message certainly sounds snarky towards you for using their service.

And I did visit your Vox blog, and it is awesome - Vox probably should be as nice as they can to you, because you're making quite a lot out of their service. I must say that Vedera's "The Falling Kind" is something I've listened over and over again to.

Will link to you on my friends page, http://ashokkarra.com/friends - I'm not sure how you found me, but I'm most grateful you did stop by.
