Extensible Scalable Coopetitive High Availability Trade Optimization Network: ESCHATON

I am the Eschaton; I am not your God.

I am descended from you, and exist in your future.

Thou shalt not violate causality within my historic light cone. Or else.

Singularity Sky by Charles Stross

This is my recommended path for learning Haskell.

Something to keep in mind: don't sweat the stuff you don't understand immediately. Just keep moving.

## The Problem
Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)
## The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:
Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:
}).listen(80);
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
FIRST_NAME = 'FIRST_NAME'
LAST_NAME = 'LAST_NAME'
PHONE = 'PHONE'
EMAIL = '[email protected]'
PARTY_SIZE = 2
SCHEDULE_RANGE = { :start_time => '19:00', :end_time => '20:30' }
