Change your bash prompt to an abbreviated PWD, followed by a lyric from Daft Punk's Technologic. Works best with Powerline-patched fonts (sub out the unicode characters if you're not that cool).
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.
