Tip: Time in JS

I recently forgot one of the (implicit) primers in JS, once you instantiate a Date() object you will continue getting the time from when you instantiated it, for example:

// We instantiate the Date object
// at this time it has a date that will never change
var oDate = new Date();
console.log( oDate.getTime() );
setTimeout( function(){
    console.log( oDate.getTime() );
}, 5000);

It will output the same value in line 4 and 6. I just mention this in case I myself run into this problem again. one easy easy fix is to instantiate it on the fly:

var oDate = new Date();
console.log( oDate.getTime() );
setTimeout( function(){
    console.log( new Date().getTime() );
}, 5000);
