One large monkey off my back. Gave a fairly technical talk to the faculty. And it went well. Sure, stumbled in a couple of places. Basically, I should have slowed down more in one or two technical spots, and I'm sure I misspoke once or twice. Nevertheless, the vast majority went well. Kinda like hitting a solid line drive right over the short stop's head.
The subject has been devilishly hard to grasp the technical details of. But they were in there and I at least touched on them accurately with the time constraints of a 1hr talk.
The work is not done. But in writing the talk I've been able to solidify the work in my head, on paper, and in-silico.
Woohoo!!
