Not Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

ages back I got an email from a nice man who'd seen some real-time music visualisation stuff I'd written, asking if I could help them play video in real-time to music they were making.
As a student, this sounded like actually doing something rather than sleeping to 11am, so I said no.
They went ahead anyway, and made this:
youtube video
I am an idiot.

We all know Richard D James made his Spectrum ZX sing like a fucked-up house-sparrow in primary school. And he owns a submarine moored in Cornwall or something. And he dresses up in banana costumes to blend in with the crowd at festivals. And he's really shit at giving hugs to the media. Be cool and blow trumpets in a sound-proof room.

...and in fact I wish that I had stayed asleep for the 4:46 of my life that it wasted.
I reckon you did the right thing.
