why haven't you guys submmited it days before the deadline even when it had not been very completed? if you had, at least the result would not have been so miserable.

Cengiz, > what was the reason for you were not able to submit on time? Well, we couldn't get through for some reason. In one of those last browser reloads we lost the submission form. I guess it doesn't matter "why?' anymore because we are officially out of ADC at this point. The sorry part is that we were ready several hours before the deadline and were doing cosmetic changes to the code. Hielko is definitely right, we shouldn't have left the first submission to the last minute. You should always submit a ready version of your code and then you can still continue to make improvements to resubmit before closing time. On the one hand, we don't blame Google for the overload of their submission servers, because that is inevitable due to the unknown nature of such a competition and due to people always leaving things to the last minute. What we recommend is that they should have provided a contact point for those of us who had problems. I think after allowing several months for the preparation, a time window in the order of hours should not stop one from being included in such a competition. We were quite panicked when the submission form disappeared and sent a few emails to people we thought could help us but turned out otherwise. On the other hand Google was nice enough to reply to this message above privately, asking for the nature of our trouble, but we had additional misfortune that made us too late to be counted in. Basically they gave us a few hours to respond and we weren't even watching that mailbox because we sent the emails I mentioned above from another mailbox. Hope this helps somebody not to repeat the same mistake in the future.. Or, alternatively, you can just laugh your asses off.. :) -Cengiz > On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 1:48 AM, Hielko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think you are out of luck...
