I was just goofing around on Freshmeat for fun and look what I ran into:
http://www.beigerecords.com/cory/pizza_party/

There's a video there showing it working, too bad it only works in the US

Never tried, so I can't tell, but you gotta admit, the idea of setting this app up to run as a cron job is very cool.

I remember reading about that app a few months ago and I still think that it is cool. This app just seems to embrace so many stereotypes about geeks that it is funny. The demonstration video is still pretty funny too. I don't like Dominos pizza though so I would never use it. On a somewhat random note, Pizza Party is in the AUR under the community repository.

My bash skills are virtually nonexistant, but something like this?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 
#If stomach is empty, order a pizza; otherwise, induce guilt trip
#
#version 0.01 alpha
#Chess Griffin, March 13, 2006
#

#Enter your variables here
LOCAL_DELIVERY="555-444-3333" #enter your local pizza delivery phone number
PIZZA_SIZE="12 inch" #enter your pizza size
TOPPINGS="pepperoni" #enter your pizza toppings
ADDRESS="123 Main Street" #enter your address

STOMACH_CONTENTS=cat /home/body/stomach

if [ "$STOMACH_CONTENTS" == "" ]; then
  echo "Dialing pizza place"
  dial $LOCAL_DELIVERY
  echo "I want a $PIZZA_SIZE with $TOPPINGS please.  My home address is $ADDRESS."
  else
  echo "Why are you ordering a pizza if you are not hungry?  Go for a run instead!"
fi

;this has actually been around a long time. i remember seeing this back when i had never even touched linux or unix at all and being very impressed.

;what someone needs to do is create hardware/write an API for your refrigerator and cupboards that monitors the levels of foods. you could then script against this API and make calls to the hardware (or maybe it would just send SNMP traps or something). when the system has aggregated a suffient amount of "low" groceries on the list, it orders them automatically from the grocery store. many grocery stores have at least a phone-in grocery service, so at the very least, you could script your system to call festival in conjunction with asterisk, read the list over the phone, and ask for the grocery store to call you when their ready.

;ok chess, go to work....
