Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Turn image into Data URL and save in localStorage
// Get a reference to the image element
var elephant = document.getElementById("elephant");
// Take action when the image has loaded
elephant.addEventListener("load", function () {
var imgCanvas = document.createElement("canvas"),
imgContext = imgCanvas.getContext("2d");
// Make sure canvas is as big as the picture
imgCanvas.width = elephant.width;

High level style in javascript.

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.

Making the perfect steak

To make this steak:

  1. You will need: A half-decent steak, black peppercorns (crushed), sea salt (I prefer Maldon), timer/stopwatch
  2. Trim any and all fat
  3. Leave steak to reach room temp
  4. Once at room temp, rub with olive oil and cracked black pepper (no salt yet, this will dry the meat out)
  5. Heat an empty (no oil, no nothing) pan until it is very hot
  6. Once heated, drop your steak into the pan, start your timer
  7. Move the steak around the pan turning over it every 15 seconds (no, I’m not joking :P)
  8. Crumble a load of sea salt onto the meat as it cooks
