##Setup your server (this would ideally be done with automated provisioning)

• add a deploy user with password-less ssh see this gist
• install forever npm install -g forever

##Install flightplan

• npm install -g flightplan
• in your project folder npm install flightplan --save-dev
• create a flightplan.js file

Deploying a node app with Forever is great...until your server restarts unexpectedly. Then your app stops running and you have to re-deploy.

To get around this, we're going to run our node app as an Upstart service. Upstart services are great, because, once started, the system auto-restarts them if they fail, or if the server restarts.

###Step 1: Create a service for your node app

• ssh in as root ssh root@youripaddress
• Create a node-app.conf file in /etc/init
  IMPORTANT: whatever filename you pick is what you will use to start|stop|restart your service i.e. service node-app start

 * Like, basically PERFECT scrollbars

/* 
   It's pure CSS. 
   Since a quick google search will confirm people going crazy about Mac OS Lion scrollbars...
   this has no fade-out effect.
  
   In Mac OS Lion, the lowest common denominator is always showing scrollbars by a setting.
