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!
