Made a lot of progress on automation. Created quite a few playbooks and thought about how to implement them most effectively! I'm going to work on installation scripts for ansible (so you could easily install it on a local or remote workstation), documentation, abstraction, and DRY principles etc.

+Plans
+=====
+
+* Look into using Jinja2 to adhere with DRY principles. If an app comes in a tar archive, have a workflow for extracting apps from those archives, same thing if it comes in a dmg, or a zip.
+* Look into the ability to change directories for multiple commands as upposed to having to change directories on each command.
+* Ensure generalization of playbooks and assist distribution by replacing hosts and usernames with code that will allow them to be set on run time.
