In addition all previous comments:
I don't like name 'self' as alias to 'this' ( I tend to interpret same way
as 'this', e.i context of current function). Instead, use same name you
would use for your object instance. Example:
Client.prototype.doStuff = function() {
var client = this;
// ... some async code here
setTimeout(function() {
client.doneTimeout(); // I think it's more explicit than
self.doneTimeout()
}, 100);
};
