Example of HTTP Basic Auth in NodeJS
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
// console.log(req); // debug dump the request
// If they pass in a basic auth credential it'll be in a header called "Authorization" (note NodeJS lowercases the names of headers in its request object)
var auth = req.headers['authorization']; // auth is in base64(username:password) so we need to decode the base64
console.log("Authorization Header is: ", auth);

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

two Perlin noise generators in javascript. The simplex version is about 10% faster (in Chrome at least, haven't tried other browsers)
// Ported from Stefan Gustavson's java implementation

// Read Stefan's excellent paper for details on how this code works.
