I'm thinking of doing a local::lib lightning talk, but maybe this month I'll do "use" vs. "require".

(and I wouldn't consider myself a 'heavy gun') Unicode is indeed a real PITA (and not the good kind of Pita, that you eat with Hummus) and I'd be happy to see a talk covering it. I also think it's good to have it as a short talk, since this can also be very difficult to understand. I know my personal attention span for technical talks on charsets and Unicode is rather limited. The key term here is "try". I hope I'll have enough free time to do it.

Either way, don't worry about the schedule, let me worry about the schedule. :) ... or as the famous monologue in Futurama: *That Guy*: OK, let's work on your execu-speak. I'm worried about "blank". *Fry*: Don't you worry about "blank". Let me worry about "blank". *That Guy*: Good. I also would have accepted, "Blank? Blank? You're not looking at the big picture!" -- http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Future_Stock Sawyer.
