I am happy to report that my wheel made minimal pinging and groaning sounds for this inaugural ride, so my first attempt at wheelbuilding was a success. It's a 32h Wolber T-410 (stock from the PDG) laced 3-cross with DT Champion 1.8 spokes to an IRO high-flange fixed/fixed hub.

For those who ride fixed, what are some tips (aside from leaving the brakes on it, which I have; front and rear) for a new fixed gear rider?
