My Apple Music Impressions

(updates as they come)

catalog is awesome
the offering is complicated; my music vs. apple music vs. store
can't see all albums unless you follow the artist (bug?)
lots of moving parts; leads to a complicated UI
mobile app introduces new UI paradigms/patterns
setting favorite artists is kinda weird (UI-wise, and data-wise)

My Atom 1.x Impressions

(updates as they come)

startup is too slow
memory usage is quite high
alerts about updating packages are nice
- no release notes displayed on update, though.
need a way to version my atom config

Vagrant Status in Your Shell Prompt

vagrant_local_status is a Bash function that returns the name and status the relevant Vagrant machine for the current directory.

The primary use case is in your PS1 environment variable, so the status of your current project's Vagrant machine is always visible at every shell prompt. Here's an example of my Bash prompt in a test project dir:

[01:29 PM]-[1506]-[justin@justin]-[~/projects/test]-[dev u= bb/dev @d59dc2d]-[vagrant:poweroff]
$

(vagrant:poweroff is the output of vagrant_local_status)

notify-send adapter for Mac OS X

This allows you to receive desktop notifications from grunt running inside of a local vagrant box.

How to install

Install `grunt-notify` and add to dev dependencies

This is done on the guest VM (within the vagrant box).
