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...

Description

Simple Dashing widget that tracks time since a certain event. Time Since Last waits for request to be made to your instance of Dashing and will then reset the time since the last occurrence of whatever event you would like to track. An example could be the time since the last exception for one of your applications, or the time since the last accident on the workfloor (better keep that widget green)!

The widget was made by @hannesfostie for use @openminds. If you end up using this widget, please send me a tweet! I'd love to hear about it.

Dependencies

This widget requires HTML5's localStorage in order to keep track of the last time the event occurred in order for it to work across restarts and refreshes.
