Every time I log into "my babies", I'm greeted by some ASCII art text. It serves two purposes:

• Let's me know which server I am on, very visibly
• Creates a sense of pride and ownership, having a flamboyent login

This is what it looks like:

To accomplish this masterpiece of engineering, I simply went to the Text Ascii Art Generator from patorjk.com, generated my desired text, pasted that into a file called .name. Next, it was just a simple edit of the .bashrc file in the home directory and have it spew out the contents of a file named where the ASCII art lives.

   cat .name

Ta da!
