# Or the cool way:
# cd ~/ && git clone git://gist.github.com/114160.git .githelper && echo "# Add me to your .profile or .bash_profile. Save the file, open a new terminal, and you'll have all of this." && echo "" && echo "source ~/.githelper/gistfile1.sh"

# - When inside a git working directory, modifies prompt to be (git)$wd[$branch]/
# - Adds a number of short hand aliases, ie pull instead of git pull, k instead of gitk
# - Adds one command calls for making new branches, deleting branches
# - Adds one command call for freebasing (fetch and rebase)
# - And a few other nuggets

a Mersenne Twister implementation in javascript. Makes up for Math.random() not letting you specify a seed value.
/*
I've wrapped Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura's code in a namespace
so it's better encapsulated. Now you can have multiple random number generators
and they won't stomp all over eachother's state.
If you want to use this as a substitute for Math.random(), use the random()
method like so:
var m = new MersenneTwister();
