We put a lot of thought in to loading times of the badge. There are some
performance notes here:

http://lanyrd.com/services/badges/docs/#performance

We're serving the initial 2215 byte script from Amazon's CloudFront CDN, so it
should load lightning fast. You can place the script link at the bottom of the
body to make absolutely sure there's no chance of it blocking the load of the
rest of your page.

"""
Convert a local datetime object to a UTC string represestation, taking 
daylight savings time in to account. Here's an example - the clocks change 
at 2am on March 13th 2011.

>>> to_utc_datestring(datetime.datetime(2011, 3, 11, 17, 30))
'20110311T233000Z'
>>> to_utc_datestring(datetime.datetime(2011, 3, 15, 17, 30))

* The "start over" button was just a few pixels away from the "continue" 
  button
* The phone number fields included a "country" pulldown with numeric country 
  codes, good thing I knew mine off the top of my head, but not exactly 
  friendly
* The phone number "area" field was limited to 3 characters... but area codes 
  in the UK are 4 (5 if you include the leading 0)
* There was no visible indication that I had gone over the 3 character limit, 
  so the first time I submitted the form I got to the confirmation and saw 
  that one of the numbers in my phone's area code had been silently lost...
