For the past two hours BYOND was down, for me at least, and the browser said "Infernal Error, working directory does not exist." Yes it said infernal and not internal.

It wasn't down for two hours, it was more like 20 minutes, you didn't check back enough.

It is possible that DanTom were making some adjustments to the system.

We're moving to a more powerful machine sometime next week. In the course of moving over some info, I triggered a glitch that caused the downtime. Whups.

Either a joke or a typo. I suspect the former. :-)

On a related note...

Wait a second... who's General Error, and what's he doing reading my hard drive? ;-)

Bad file name! BAD file name! Go and sit in the corner!

Guru Meditation Error
I once saw a webpage with this error message on it - it was a takeoff of IE's "page could not be found" error. Most amusing. Then I set it as my dad's homepage - even more amusing. :P

Like the 'page can not be found' errors on Angelfire.

Guru meditation is the Amiga eqality to windows blue screen, or unix kernel panic. Here's the hilarious story behind it: (Love the Amiga!)

This term is (no surprise) an in-joke from the earliest days of the Amiga. An earlier product of the Amiga corporation was a device called a `Joyboard' which was basically a plastic board built onto a joystick-like device; it was sold with a skiing game cartridge for the Atari game machine. It is said that whenever the prototype OS crashed, the system programmer responsible would calm down by concentrating on a solution while sitting cross-legged on a Joyboard trying to keep the board in balance. This position resembled that of a meditating guru. Sadly, the joke was removed fairly early on (but there's a well-known patch to restore it in more recent versions).

This is what Guru Meditation looks like, but you need to paste this link into the browser for it to work:

You have an A500 without kickstart? I got one of the first A500 models (in -85), and it had kickstart 1.2 built in.
