Serve a Directory

Don't you hate developing a blasted simple webpage that does some asynchronous requests that gets you into cross-origin policy trouble. If you just read a `.html` file off the file system, this will bite you. But, it's easy to get around. Just host your .html file on a simple http server. And it's easy to make that happen. Here's one way.

First, Verify you have python installed:

> python --version
Python 2.7.3

'Tis a Gift to Be Simple

Then navigate to the directory that you'd like to serve up and type:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 5000

Where "5000" is the port you'd like to serve it on. (Defaults to 80.) Then point your browser to:

http://localhost:5000

And rock your local dev.
