stumped, this is totally f'd up :)
how do you create the node? with an ENC or with node foo {} blocks?

yeah so notice() is a function, functions run on the puppet master and
so you find them in the syslog or whatever. They get evaluated at compile
time
But this doesnt help if you wanted to log on the node, or give someone
running puppetd --test some interactive feedback *on the node*
types and providers are the only thing that really 'runs' on a node, so
notify being a resource means you can emit text to the client side and it
shows what would be the result of the compiled catalog.
