[141/366] After a brief hiatus (30 years or so), I'm running programs on a mainframe computer again. One of their endearing qualities is that error messages are obtuse, as evidenced by this picture. Basically, all of the verbiage that you see here simply means, "something went wrong."
After nearly 10 years of writing bizarre and frightening notes to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Zodiac Killer sent what would turn out to be his last letter in 1978.

"Zodiac Ends Silence - 'I Am Back With You'"
By Duffy Jennings
Zodiac, the cryptic and boastful killer who stalked the Bay Area in the late 1960s and was last heard from more than four years ago, wrote a new letter to The Chronicle yesterday, proclaiming: "I am back with you."
The random slayer of at least six persons, who delighted in teasing police with coded messages to news media after each cold-blooded murder, claimed no new victims and made no threats in the note, but surfaced nevertheless in Zodiac's typical bold fashion.
"This is the Zodiac speaking," the letter began, exactly like the first message Zodiac sent The Chronicle in 1969. "I am back with you."
The letter, postmarked Monday in San Francisco and hand-printed in Zodiac's familiar style with a blue felt-tipped pen, was addressed simply, "Dear Editor."
He sent greetings to Chronicle columnist Herb Caen, taunted San Francisco police homicide inspector David Toschi, who has pursued Zodiac nearly nine years, and said he was waiting for a Zodiac movie.
"Tell herb caen I am here. I have always been here," he wrote. "That city pig toschi is good but I am smarter and better he will get tired then leave me alone."
"I am waiting for a good movie about me, who will play me. I am now in control of all things."
He signed the note, "Yours truly," as he did in his last message to The Chronicle in January, 1974.
Below that was drawn Zodiac's now infamous logo - a circle with a cross through it - and the notation "SFPD-0" - his customary method of reminding police that they have not caught him.
"It has been a long four years," Toschi said late yesterday after a handwriting expert "positively confirmed" the printing as Zodiac's first communication since he wrote to criticize the film, "The Exorcist," in 1974.
Zodiac is known to have killed at least six persons and wounded two others between 1966 and 1969, mostly in random shooting attacks on couples alone in remote Bay Area settings.
Included in the slayings were the shooting of a San Francisco in the Presidio Heights district in 1969 and the 1966 throat slashing of a young woman student at Riverside City College.
In his last letter in 1974, however, Zodiac claimed a total of 37 victims, then disappeared and was not heard from again until yesterday.
"I could feel the excitement in my body as soon as I saw it," Toschi said after the letter was turned over to him for examination.
Toschi said he was so rattled by the development, in fact, that he picked up a cigaret [sic] and started smoking for the first time in three years.
"But I put it out right away as soon as I realized what I was doing," said the detective, his voice trembling with nervous excitement.
Toschi said he has talked to more than 5000 persons since he was assigned to the Zodiac case in 1969.
"I have always felt that he was alive and out there, somewhere," Toschi said of Zodiac's self-imposed 51-month silence. "I still don't know where he is, but at least now I know that all our work all these years definitely has not been in vain."
Zodiac's latest reference to a movie of his exploits is in keeping with his apparent affinity for show business, particularly films and theater.
In his previous messages, he often quoted from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "The Mikado," and, in addition to his harsh review of "The Exorcist," he panned other movies as well.
A movie about him, titled "Zodiac," was, in fact, produced and shown here at the Golden Gate Theater in 1970.
The low-budget film, starring two unknown actors in the title role, ended without clearly identifying either one as the killer but a narrator hinted to the audience that he "may be the man behind you in the theater."
Zodiac first came to public attention in October 1969, when he mailed a note and a piece of cab driver Paul Stine's bloody shirttail to The Chronicle a few days after Stine was murdered in his cab at Washington and Cherry streets.
In the letter, Zodiac heckled police for not catching him at the scene of the killing and also said he was "the same man who did in the people in the North Bay Area," referring to four other murders in Vallejo and Lake Berryessa during the previous year.
At the time, witnesses to and survivors of Zodiac attacks described their assailant as a husky white man wearing glasses and a crewcut. The descriptions served as the basis for a composite drawing circulated widely at the peak of the hunt for him.
The case drew worldwide attention - and thousands of tips from persons believing either that they knew the killer or had broken the code of the peculiar cryptograms in his messages.
But the elusive Zodiac remained free and unidentified other than his self-chosen astrological nickname.
He continued to write letters and bizarre messages to this newspaper and others until 1971, when he abruptly stopped all communication and kept silent for three years until the so-called "Exorcist" letter of 1974.
Hace unos días me llevé un susto que “me dejó sin gota sangre”, mi 7D se negó a arrancar y en vez de eso lo que hacía nada más ponerle la batería o encenderla era simular en su interior una ráfaga de disparos de un segundo de duración pero el espejo ni el obturador agustinysuscosas.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/error-20-resuel...
error tekst can better be read large - some serious issues here (Postbank ATM in Amsterdam) - unfortunately I could not press 'end task' after withdrawing money ;-)
So sad. :(

Anthony Lanier sacked Blaine Gabbert and forced a fumble that Preston Smith recovered and the Washington Redskins held on to beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-15 Sunday in a game that was a comedy of errors for each team.
Smith also intercepted Gabbert and Lanier batted down three passes and had two sacks as they gave the Redskins (6-8) a glimpse of their potential as significant pieces of the defense for years to come.
Redskins finally win again, thanks to big defensive plays late.
They didn't magically fix all that has ailed them this season, but the Redskins' victory over Arizona on Sunday should prove good for their psyche.
Cardinals inefficiency in red zone leads to playoff elimination.
The problems plaguing the offense Sunday were emblematic of the entire season: Arizona couldn't capitalize, and the playoffs are now out of reach.
Gabbert was 16 of 41 for 189 yards with the interception and a fumble he recovered himself in the fourth quarter. Arizona (6-8), which got all its points on field goals by Phil Dawson, went 0 for 6 in the red zone and 4 for 19 on third down as it was eliminated from playoff contention.
Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins was 18 of 26 for 196 yards with touchdown passes to Jamison Crowder and new running back Kapri Bibbs. The Redskins were booed at times in the second half by fans in the announced crowd of 71,026.
Gabbert led the Cardinals to the Washington 21-yard line before an incomplete pass on fourth down ended their chances.
DRIVE FOR FIVE
Dawson made all five of his field goal attempts, connecting from 40, 35, 19, 34 and 32 yards. He was good from 54 early in the fourth quarter, though that was wiped out when Washington's A.J. Francis was given a 15-yard penalty for leverage.
SACKMASTER JONES
Arizona linebacker Chandler Jones earned his NFL-leading 15th sack of the season during the first half as he continued to make a case to be NFL Defensive Player of the Year. With two games remaining, he's two shy of setting the franchise record for sacks in a season.
RECOVERED KICK
Even though coach Bruce Arians didn't call for an onside kick to start the second half, the Cardinals got the ball back in excellent field position. Dawson's kickoff bounced deep in Washington territory and when no Redskins player fielded it, Budda Baker recovered at the 22.

That damn MySpace error that is should be getting fixed because it has been forwarded to the technical team countless times.

They can't spell 'facilities'. Perhaps they should fascilitate a correction!
