Check your Google Analytics.That should be a great start. If you do not see any traffic from California, you know you (EDIT) are not selected . If you do, then look deeper and figure out the referral website etc...

Wow, putting up Google Analytics would have been a great idea. Our preview was left utterly unmonitored.

Oh, well. Only a few hours to go.

There wasn't any hits with our analytics, since JS can be disabled. Look at your apache log instead, then find out the location using reverse IP.

If you didn't think to monitor your traffic, then QED.

I made a preview page that I handed out to people personally to maintain secrecy. Nearly nobody saw it, and nobody saw it without my handing out the link.

I didn't think it was worth monitoring something as private as that.

They don't always look at demos.

I'm guessing they watched every video though.
