any suggestions about what?  Got a few re-hashes I could probably
do -- 
* Shell scripting tips.  Got a fair amount of new cool tips and
  at least one that was forgotten on my first presentation.
* rehash my rsync --link-dest backup system.  I could probably
  even show/distribute some actual code.  Or am I already doing
  the backup talk and this is it? :)

Or...new(ish) ideas:
* Always happy to show off an OpenBSD install and upgrade process
  but I'm usually not overly impressed with "look at me install
  an OS!" demos.  Maybe I can make it useful.  Maybe not. Maybe
  a non-Intel platform (though considering time constraints,
  probably have to be sparc64)
* "Nick's a wacko, but some of his system design ideas are worth
  at least hearing" (I would expect this to be highly
  interactive).
