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

Emacs smart tabs - indent with tabs, align with spaces!
;;
;; Emacs smart tabs functionality
;; Intelligently indent with tabs, align with spaces!
;;
;; Note: Indenting only uses tabs when indent-tabs-mode is non-nil,
;; otherwise it uses spaces as usual.
;;
;; To use: save as smarttabs.el in your .emacs.d directory, and add
;; "(require 'smarttabs)" to your .emacs file.
