Not a very eventful week (probably for the better, I was stuck 
out of town ALL week due to a work meeting compounded with flight 
cancellations getting back), we're marching toward a release.

Already out of ideas?

I ran out of my backlog and haven't had the time to write up new 
ones the last couple weeks because of other obligations eating up 
all my time (this week, I had to travel for a work thing... then 
got trapped mid way by that winter storm hitting Baltimore and 
Philadelphia), so I try to release this with something rather 
than nothing when that happens.

When I have a few extra hours, I'll write up tip or project 
spotlights for the next month including the UTF decoding in 
foreach and phobos, moving forward with the little game using my 
libraries, and whatever else pops up in the chat or something 
that I feel like talking about.

This seems to be easily parallelizable - ask for contributions, and 
publish them with due credit. -- Andrei

There are a bunch of good tips here:

If the author(s) are OK with the idea you could use this as a 
source of tips for a few weeks.

This must have been been updated since I last read it. The first 
GC paragraph is very good! :)

Don't wear yourself out on a weekly deadline, maybe a bi-weekly 
issue would be equally good?
