Zen console messages

It’s a shame that console messages from GUI apps usually go unread. I just discovered the following profound koan in an xterm from which I’d run Firefox:


Warning: more than one line!
Warning: more than one line!
Warning: more than one line!
This should only happen once
Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab

    And to prove it, just as I hit Publish on that story, a new track started on DI Chillout which is usually on in the background. The track was quite good, so I moved that xterm window out of the way to see the artist name on XMMS. It was Koan.
