Title: server should not claim to be listening until it is actually listening

http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/net.html#server.listen allows you to pass a callback to listen. This is a better way to state that you're listening than synchronously printing. You might also want to register the .on("request",) before you begin listening, even though there's probably no race condition there, just for purity.
