Apologies again for the SNAFU at the end of the Q & A livestream. 
I managed to leave off a quotation mark from one of the strings 
in my names array for the daily prize. Then after I successfully 
ran it, I found I had an *extra* quotation mark in the names 
array for the grand prize. Had I written it in D, I would have 
caught it at compile time. Next year!

So, I did manage to successfully run the script over both arrays. 
The winners are:

The Day Two Prize winner of a $50 Amazon eGift Card: Ezneh.

I already have Ezneh's contact info and will notify him via email.

The Grand Prize winner of a $100 Amazon eGift Card: Eduard 
Staniloiu.

I also know how to contact him, so they're covered.

Congratulations to both of them. Once I edit out the cursing from 
when I was searching for the reason that the grand prize script 
also didn't run on the first go, I'll publish the video of both 
prize runs to my personal YouTube channel as a private video that 
can only be viewed with the link and then post the link here. 
Tomorrow.

I'm going to take a few days off from D stuff, but at the end of 
the week I'll chop the Q & A sessions out of the livestream and 
start cutting them down and publishing them on their own playlist 
on the foundation's channel. If all goes well I'll have them all 
finished by the end of December.

I'd like to once again thank everyone who participated in DConf 
Online. I'm looking forward to doing it all again next year. And 
I'm open to suggestions on how to improve the experience. We can 
thank Steven Schveighoffer for the multiple breaks we had this 
year because he suggested it after last year. And we can thank 
him again for suggesting a better UI for taking questions during 
the Ask Us Anything. I'll get something together for that next 
year and we can use it for all of the talks. I'll also take any 
other suggestions under advisement. Just let me know!
