Command Line Pizza

Did you know you can order pizza from Dominos via your *nix command line?  Well you can thanks to Pizza Party.  I would have to say my favorite function is the ability to batch order pizzas from an input file.  After all, us *nix geeks have some wild parties!

I remember the days when computer geeks around the world would connect to soda machines, washing machines, etc on campus with their terminals just to say they did it.  Then came the days of ordering your pizza via the web (I remember when Papa John’s first attempted this back in the mid-90’s).  Now, if you are too busy coding and need a pizza fix, just switch to a console (or SSH in) and order away without starting your browser. 

Anyway, ubiquitous You Tube video of Pizza Party in action after the jump.
