Very quick punctuation question re: parenthesis and periods [Solved]

So let's say I end a sentence with a bit in parenthesis, where do I place the ending punctuation?
Do I place it outside the parenthesis at the end? Or inside the parenthesis at the end? Keep in mind I do not want to make the parenthetical statement a seperate sentence, as it is not something that stands on its own.
Example.
-Jack had a good idea (at least at the time).
-Jack had a good idea (at least at the time.)
What's the score with this little situation?
Edit - Of course Google finds me the answer right after I make this topic, even though searching beforehand gave me nothing for this specific situation. Bleh. Ignore.
