Since it's the holiday season, I thought I'd greet my server's users with a colourful MOTD. Feel free to use it by appending it to your current MOTD.
You can do so with the command sudo sh -c "curl
http://ryanak.ca/files/holiday-motd >> /etc/motd" on normal
UNIX stations, sudo sh -c "curl http://ryanak.ca/files/holiday-motd
>> /etc/motd.tail" on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
It'll end up looking a little like this (to get the full effect, including
blinking, run curl http://ryanak.ca/files/holiday-motd):
Happy holidays!
