I’ve been busy with a c# project for years and now it’s time to get back on the grind. It’s tiresome sending out resumes but it’s exciting to get a fresh, new project.

Network monitors exist and network mice exist, but for the same OS. I needed a network mouse that worked from PC <> Mac and I’ve been looking for an application like this for far too long.

I’ve found debugging to be tricky with Node, until today. Running with the `–inspect` flag is pretty cool, mind you it’s “experimental” and “may be disconued at any time” !

Recap: `$ node –inspect yourFile.js`

Then node will give you a CHROME-ONLY url to debug your script. I highly recommed enabling the auto-break feature in the inspector tools. If you’re not familiar that, look at pausing on exceptions in chrome.

`some` will only break when a value equivalent to true is returned`every` will only break when a vlue equivalent to false is returned
