UnicodeEncodeError in v1.6

[geeknik]

Just upgraded from 1.5.2 to 1.6 and I'm getting some errors while running the twitterbot. The bot will be running on IRC with no problems and then dies off and here is what I see in the console:

Maybe something @ http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/11/python-unicodeencodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-encode-character/ will help with this issue?

Ugh... yeah. Fixed on master, slated for 1.6.1.
