Deadlines and Other Administrative Nuisances -------------------------------------------- Entries must be sent to John Colagioia via e-mail at: by 23:59, on the Ides of March in Yangon, Myanmar (the motivated reader may wish to find out when this is before the deadline actually arrives), with a Subject: line of the form: Essie-Entry Title/Version A quick blurb describing the basic concept of the entry, the required platform(s), and execution instructions (approximately 10-20 lines is probably sufficient) which does not identify the author should be the main text of the message. The entry, itself (with the blurb repeated) should be compressed into a single "ZIP32" (*.zip--"old" style, pre- PKZIP4.5's "ZIP64") or compressed tape archive (.tar.Z or .tar.gz) file--the former is preferred over the latter--attached to the entry as a MIME-encoded attachment. The official webpage for the Second Ennuial Essies (which will include this information, plus updates, clarifications, and progress notes) will be generously hosted at: http://esoteric.sange.fi/essie2 Questions should be directed to the Awards Organizer (John Colagioia-- ). All rules are subject to change up until the entry deadline without notice.
