I am the last minute king.

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.

That was a close one!
 
you're more like last second man... talk about putting things off to the last moment - you win the gold medal! (or wait was one of the judges improperly influenced...)
 
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 🙁
 


<< then when I reset it, scandisk came up and took forever to start up >>



Thats why you hit escape to cancel!



<< hey aren't you a whole day late? isn't 18th midnight right after 17th 11:59:59 then it turns to midnight 18th? >>



Let me restate: It was due by midnight, on Feb 18th.
 


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

No, he typed like a madman from 11:32 to basically 11:59 😀
