ANNOUNCE: nyan-cat-chef-formatter

It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of the most useful
piece of software dedicated to a fictional cat, ever!

Blame a long train ride, and a day full of meetings and no coding at all.
Or blame Matt Sears for the inspiration. Or just blame me for being silly.

But here it is: the most stylish Chef formatter so far. And it does exactly
what you think: show an animated Nyan Cat, with his or her trademark
rainbow, that is animated to show the progress of your Chef run.
Note: whether or not you get 60fps is up to you.

Look for it on GH https://github.com/andreacampi/nyan-cat-chef-formatter or
grab it from rubygems while it’s hot!

Andrea

Massive :thumbsup: for Andrea!

I've already received a request to implement this as fast as possible.

I think it might be very important for developer happiness to
incorporate this into Vagrant environments, so during a provision
phase (which happens very frequently) we can have Moar Awesome Fun!

Sean - Thanks! I've tested, and there's a bug I fixed in a pull on
your repo. I also added some stuff to the readme.

This also exposed a desire for a formatter setting for a Vagrantfile
option, currently not available, so I've submitted a vagrant patch for
formatters.

Andrea - The problem I foresee in the formatter approach is that the
way vagrant sends back result to the operator shell it may not work.

Glad to work on figuring this out.

One question arise: how long can we wait until we see the Psy formatter ?

Should be this one though, given the season and all:
