I have just set up a small testing rig (3 VMs) for playing with Salt Stack.
I now find myself running `salt '*' state.highstate` over and over and over again, even though I *know for a fact* the result will be the same each time.
tl;dr I got a new toy and I'm playing with it

And since I have you all here already, do watch "Good Copy Bad Copy": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Copy_Bad_Copy

Also, watch her great film, "Sita Sings the Blues": https://archive.org/details/Sita_Sings_the_Blues
