I'm new to Node, so this might be a common mistake. I followed the startup directions in your readme, but I couldn't get the server to start up:

bburton$ node build/server
Server listening on http://localhost:8000

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
at errnoException (net.js:640:11)
at Array.0 (net.js:741:26)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)

My environment is Node v.0.6.7 on Mac OSX 10.6.7.
