Second Chance
I had all but given up on the DAC submission, but happily, I was not the only one affected (and perhaps disappointed) about the time zone issue. Crossing my fingers and hoping this is a sign =)

Today on the DAC site:

09.08.2005 The submission site closed down midnight Danish time on August 8th, this made it impossible for people trying to submit before deadline at US time to upload their papers. We accept these papers of course, so if you had any problems with submission in this regard, please contact us and you will receive instructions so your paper can be submitted.
