Y u not use chef ?

Can't always, but I still want a quick way of setting some basic config stuff on a new vm

Just kidding :-) How is London these days?

Busy place, but lots of interesting stuff going on. Where are you these days? Still in Laos? Enjoying it?

You should really use Chef/Puppet, Mark :)

Thanks Martin, you're right, where did I go wrong? ;-)

Anywhere :) I know it wasn't useful advice :) I just have A nightmare from Bash every time when I see it :) I prefer Ruby -> Chef use :) Anyway, are you still in London? I'm going to London at 90 % for few days this summer (probably in August).

Hey Martin, yeah, I'm still in London. Let me know if you do make it over for a few days, we should meet up for lunch or a coffee. Maybe see if Andy is around too.

Of course! Sorry for delay. Github haven't notified me about your last response. I'll let you know!
