Command line script used to grab synonyms off the web using a thesaurus api.

The words come from the "Big Huge Thesaurus", and I make no claims about the 
results. In order to use this script you will need a valid API key, which is
available, for free (up to 10,000 calls / day), from here - http://words.bighugelabs.com/getkey.php
If you're really lazy, you can just use my key - eb4e57bb2c34032da68dfeb3a0578b68
but I'd rather you didn't. Thanks.

# Assumptions
#
# 1. If you have a Octopus release deployed, say 1.0.0.73, there is a git
#    tag set for that commit in GitHub that is "v1.0.0.73".
#
# 2. You have TeamCity label each successful build in GitHub with the format
#    "v{build number}. Sidenote: it appears that TeamCity only labels the
#    default branch, but not feature branches.

AWS ELB with Node.js and WebSockets

This assumes that:

• You are using Nginx.
• You want to accept incoming connections on port 80.
• Your Node.js app is listening on port 3000.
• You want to be able to connect to your Node.js instance directly as well as via the load balancer.

####1. Create load balancer

1. Get node binary (node.exe) from http://nodejs.org/download/
2. Create the folder where node will reside and move node.exe to it
3. Download the last zip version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
4. Unpack the zip inside the node folder
5. Download the last tgz version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
6. Open the tgz file and unpack only the file bin/npm (without extension) directly on the node folder.
7. Add the the node folder and the packages/bin folder to PATH
8. On a command prompt execute npm install -g npm to update npm to the latest version

Now you can use npm and node from windows cmd or from bash shell like Git Bash of msysgit.
