Relieved it's over!
I was stressing out quite a lot about presenting at the OUG Scotland event - never having done anything like that before. It didn't help that Doug Burns was winding me up very effectively at every possible opportunity ;-) It was he who talked me into presenting in the first place, and I think he took great delight in seeing me panicing as the date drew closer!
Seriously though, thanks to Doug, and Peter Robson for their encouragement and support, it was nervewracking to do, but I'm glad I did it. Feedback from the floor was positive (or were people just being kind?!), and will definitely spur me on to do it again - stuff like "thanks, I learned something today from your presentation" which is all I could have hoped for.

Congratulations. I sent couple abstracts for UKOUG and if chosen I will probably be as stressed as you were... no... even more as there's no one to wind me up. Scary staff... =8-0
Don't forget to send something to OUG Scotland too! The Conference is in September in Glasgae. Everyone should come and have a go if you think yer hard enough! The fun rating is most probably higher than that of the Conferences in the South of Scotland. Edinburgh has been rated as the third best place in the world to have a conference (some fokker mucked up the stats and it should be first!)
Well done Simon! It was a great day, everyone had a lot of fun.
