  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();

""" Convert values between RGB hex codes and xterm-256 color codes.

Nice long listing of all 256 colors and their codes. Useful for
developing console color themes, or even script output schemes.

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

Worst Practices (thoroughly commented)

Some Javascript that I threw together for a friend to 1) solve his problem, 2) explain some hacky JS tricks, and 3) attempt to show him that they aren't always great to use since they obfuscate your code.

There's actually some cool stuff going on in here, so I've commented it thoroughly. Please let me know if anything requires clarification, if you have suggestions on how my code can be improved (or made even grosser), or if you just want to chat!
