Using Node.js to make "non-blocking http requests" using callbacks and having to reorder stuff after it arrives?

Sounds like he had fun playing with Node.js and writing code.

But did I read this wrong or is he making several hundred individual HTTP requests?

Even when the server he's accessing says it supports keep-alive (5 seconds), and probably a decent number of max-requests (say, 100).

I must have read this wrong.

It might just be my computer, but the font in firefox makes the w's hard to see. Its really distracting to me.

Here's a screenshot so you know what I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/7DrpQ.png
