Unfortunately, my brother then proceeded to power-cycle the drive with the disk still in, corrupting the file ... I was never able to reproduce the code because I couldn't remember exactly how I'd done it once I saved it.
Have you ever done something like this?
Sadly I had to scrap the project the next day since it did'nt compile anymore :)
I once (while in university) had the awesome idea to write some fantastic code after a night out. Sadly I had to scrap the project the next day since it did'nt compile anymore :)
Then he'd wake up and forget the lot.
The code is still in my PC, but I moved overseas, and didn't bring my PC along.

My father was the defacto Excel developer in his office and used to have vivid dreams that consisted solely of him writing out the code for some problem he'd been working on. Then he'd wake up and forget the lot.
All that's left of all this is the compiler code (decompiled using cavaj), and screenshots of the IDE (that I called Rex).
It was the most complicated piece of software I'd written at that point of time, and there's little left to show for it.
Here's a link to the project page, btw. And don't judge. This is from a long, long time ago.
Once, when I was pretty much a noob, wrote a language called OOJASIC which I implemented in Java. It was loosely typed, compiled to Java. I wrote a wrapper over swing as its UI library, and a simplistic visual IDE along the lines of BlueJ, that would show a smiling dino face if the file was compiled, and an anxious one if it wasn't. All that's left of all this is the compiler code (decompiled using cavaj), and screen…
More often than not, it turned out that the code wasn't clever so much as I had remembered it being clever. The code itself often didn't even do what I thought it had.
