Michael,

Here in Venezuela I worked as a SysAdmin in a private clinic that implemented a
system for invoicing and patient administration called "Titanio", which is
Spanish for "Titanium". They were very proud of their project and even had
posters announcing it.The project went thru a lot of labor pains, with programs
hanging up and crashing with errors. Our clients began to call it "Titanic".
Fortunately, our ship did not sink, and after some months it stabilized. The
posters had been removed long before, though.

I know of a project here in Australia which is code-named 'Daytona'.

Unfortunately the project is having some issues and we realized,
cynically of course, that Daytona could actually mean 'Go round and
round in circles until you crash and burn'. That got me wondering how
many other projects are out there have been named in an ultimately
ironical fashion. Might take our collective minds off the daily minutae
of iSeries problems.
