Failed ProjectsYou start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

I started to write an 'operating system'.Yes, really. In assembler.
You would copy it to a floppy disc, boot it and get a command prompt and everything.
I got bored with it when I realised that:
a) nobody wants another operating system.
b) it would take about 6 million years to write a decent operating system using only assembler.
I was about 14 at the time.
It's still floating about on the internet somewhere, but it's got my real name on it so I'd rather not share it here (and the website's a bit embarassing).
I also have a motorbike in my dining room which might never get finished. Luckily the girlfriend is tolerant and doesn't mind an engine on the table.

Sorry, not acceptable.You *must* provide linkies to embarrasing website, and you *must* tell us your real name.
Enquiring minds need to know.
