404 Not Found

Occasionally while browsing, a page will be missing (or for those who like oddly phrased statements: "a page will turn up missing" or "the user will find a page missing.")

This missing page is also none as a 404 Error, made famous with the Internet Explorer page that appears:


The page cannot be found


The page you are looking for might have been
removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.



Please try the following:
  • If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is
    spelled correctly.
  • Open the home page, and then look for links to the information
    you want.
  • Click the Back button to try another link.
  • Click Search to look for information on the Internet.

HTTP 404 - File not found

While browsing this evening, I fell upon a new answer to the boring 404 Error page:

The knowledge you seek
Floats and drifts on springtime wind

Ah, Haiku for the lost, how nice. And all I could decide on for St. Philip's Episcopals website was:

"I have gone astray like a lost sheep;"
Psalm 119:176

The page you are looking for has not been found.You now have these options.

  • Prayer
  • Return to the St. Philip's Home page
  • Press the back button on your browser
  • In a fit of frustration yell at your computer until you remember that you could be seeing "This program has performed and illegal operation and will be shut down:"

My personal favorite is one search in...I can't remember which one now, but its some small one like altavista...in lieu of the dreaded 404 of death message, uses a picture of the stop-motion Davey and Goliath and you hear the dog go, "We got hosed, Davey!"
