So in Ireland, the speech would be 7:15 to 9:00 pm and one hour later for Britain. And for me, it will be at that time, while i am at work making sure no one can hear!!!!

I am crossing my fingers that there is sunshine for this event. I live in Massachusetts about an our away from Boston and it has done nothing today but rain, which we did need, but from the looks , the rain
should stop by tonight..
I am so glad that Jo is the speaker at Harvard, what a great
choice the college made. She is a great insperator to us all. The HP books
even got my 10 year old son into reading more.

It might be made downloadable after but during it will most likely stream. As for us, we can upload direct download files and stream videos in our gallery. Or on YouTube  | |

Mods/ Admin, i managed to capture her speech on video, do you want it or you got your own copy?
btw, to those who watched, did any of you guys experience any connection problems during the speech? it stalled a few times and i couldnt tell if it was my connection or if it was an issue with the Harvard telecast. That was probably because of a huge demand on the server.
