  After reading a Hacker News post about a demo of a little project called 

  <a href="https://cheeaun.life/">Life</a> by <a href="http://cheeaun.com/">Lim Chee Aun</a>, I was

  inspired to create my own version of it. You can view it in action

  <a href="https://github.com/tmont/eventline">Eventline</a> was actually something I've had an idea for for a

  while, but never really had the proper motivation to do something about it. After my recent site redesign, I

  wanted some actual content, as well as a sort of resume/biographical page that wasn't just a bunch of

  paragraphs about how I like JavaScript. This turned out to be a much more interesting way of conveying

  that information.

<p>

  I only tested in Chrome and Firefox, because I generally only test stuff in IE if I'm getting paid to

  do so. The library depends on the <a href="https://github.com/felixge/node-dateformat">dateformat</a>

  convenience library (mostly due to my own personal laziness with mucking around with dates).

  Pull requests are always welcome.
