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

Converting a simple website to Python Flask (backup gist!)

Flask is a Python web framework that's steadily increasing in popularity within the webdev world. After reading so many great things about Flask, I decided to try it out myself. I personally find testing out a new framework difficult, because you must find a project complex enough to reveal the framework's quirks, but not so daunting as to take the fun out of the project. Luckily, my PHP/Wordpress powered website filled this role quite nicely - the website simply consists of static content, a contact page, and a blog. If I could not convert such a simple site over to Flask, I would immediately know that Flask and I would not make a good team.
