Survived my talk!

Hey, so I made it through my big speech today without throwing up or anything :)  It was a big crowd, maybe 200 people all-in-all, and I think that it went pretty well.  The room was gigantic, so I could barely even see the people up in the nosebleed seats, and it was a little difficult to hear some of the questions.  I actually got done with all of my material early and had a lot of time left over for questions, which worked out well because the attendees had some very interesting questions.  We had a good cross-section of a lot of the more challenging things that people are doing with Datagrids.

Now that that's over with, I can begin procrastinating preparing for my new talk next week in New Zealand, “Building Application Back-Ends Quickly”.

P.S.  I also note that as of today, the New Zealand Tech Ed Bloggers list now has more bloggers listed than the Australians!

Why are they called nosebleed seats?

And congrats on pulling off your talk. :-)

Well, I did a little searching for the origins of the term, and found this: http://www.wordwizard.com/clubhouse/founddiscuss.asp?Num=4657

Oh I see, thanks DGG!

We don't normally get exposed to those kinds of slang over here in Singapore. :-)

See? I *told* you you wouldn't throw up.

:-D

Now you get to feel the same thing *next* week, too! Woohoo, isn't it fun speaking? (the answer, of course, is you bet!).

Good job killer. Too bad you won't be in KL next week.
