Use nowjs with node-static server

gistfile1.js

var fs = require('fs');
var node_static = require('node-static');

var file = new(node_static.Server)('./public');
var server = require('http').createServer(function(request, response){
  request.addListener('end', function() {
    file.serve(request, response);
  });
});
server.listen(8080);

var nowjs = require("now");
var everyone = nowjs.initialize(server);

nowjs.on("connect", function(){
  console.log("Joined: " + this.now.name);
});

nowjs.on("disconnect", function(){
  console.log("Left: " + this.now.name);
});

everyone.now.distributeMessage = function(message){
  everyone.now.receiveMessage(this.now.name, message);
};
