Today I'm trying to submit an abstract to a conference in June. The meeting is in Montreal, which should be fun--several thousand geochemists descend on a picturesque French Canadian town.
The server, however, for the abstract submission website, is a different problem. This appears to be powered by some kind of gerbil wheel or other improbable device. Of course everyone has left their submission until the very last day. I spent 2 hours clicking through their site, setting up a profile, entering all of my information, and refreshing the page about 3 dozen times. Luckily, I am patient and persistent.
At the end of all this, it turns out that they had so many problems with other submissions that they have moved the deadline forward. Glad I was so persistent today.
