The above 'function elite2' make a command line prompt that looks like
the above output.
Instead of # or >, I have my username@host, which terminal I'm on
(pts/2), the date and time, then the ~/code is which directory I'm
currently in. Just a bunch of info I like to know at the command
prompt. And since it's colored, it helps me keep the output and the
command line separate.
