I had the same experience.  I just re-logged in from a different
machine, and then it all worked smoothly.  I suspected it might
have been a cookies problem, but didn't want the hassle of
clearing cookies on the machine I registered on — hence login on
a fresh machine.

I should've realised this.  When I tried to register, it said
the username I chose was already taken, so I picked a different
one.  I didn't realise that the already taken username was the
ghost of my previous linux.conf.au registration.  Now there's
another ghost.  I bit like pacman, I guess.... :-)

It might've been a good idea to point out that for Everything
Open you can use the same credentials as for previous
linuxconfAUs.  I probably should've realised this, but not in my
rush to beat the early-bird deadline.  Anyway, it all worked out
well.
