How can this happen?
jon@vaio:~/brickify$ /usr/bin/node -v
v0.8.11
jon@vaio:~/brickify$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
jon@vaio:~/brickify$ node -v
jon@vaio:~/brickify$
/usr/bin is in $PATH, so just writing node -v should work the same as writing /usr/bin/node -v

You can see which version of a program is being invoked by using the which command, e.g.
which node
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games$
You have to remove the $ sign from end oth the PATH value
