Trying to upload to siggraph, the site shut down early

Annals of digital media chapter zzzzzzzzzzzzzz:


Herewith a copy of my note to siggraph after they shut down submissions to
emerging technologies at 11.30 pm pacific rather than the stated 11.59. It
had been a tough day, my files crashed and I had to rebuild everything all
evening. All was lost in the end anyway. Did anyone else out in rhizome
land have this problem too?
