In our Compsci classes we submit everything electronicly via telnet. Well my pseudocode was due feb 18th at midnight.

I woke up from a nap at around 11:32, followed with some choice colorful words. I jumped onto my pc and begin typing like a madman (In a telnet client using pico mind you!) Well check this out.

once, I was using my ftp client to submit a programming assignment.. the date of the submission is recorded.. It was due at midnight.. and I submitted it about 11:55pm.. my computer decided to lock up - then when I reset it, scandisk came up and took forever to start up.. it finally did and by the time I got rebooted, it was 12:01pm.. I submitted it again for 1/2 credit :(

so the project was already done and you just waited to turn it in until the last second? Care to explain the logic there?
