Pizza Party - Command Line Pizza ordering program
=================================================
Want a pizza, and do not want to fire up that pesky GUI?  We have the
solution for you: [Pizza Party - Command Line Pizza ordering
program](http://www.beigerecords.com/cory/pizza_party/)
Currently, only from Dominos, so if you do not have one near you who
accepts on-line orders (*sigh*, mine does not), then you are out of
luck.

So you need a calendar?
=======================
So, one of the things we have been using computers for is to keep track
of our lives.  And this means a scheduling or calendaring tool.  Some
tools out there do this fine, and some do it very well.
I have to keep track of a lot of appointments. From conference calls for
work, to each member of the family's schedules, to random, but highly
important reminders.  Most calendaring programs out there will let you
set up a reoccurring event by day of the month, or the date.  But, what
if you need to do something two days before the end of the month, every
month?  Or, you need to do something every full moon, but not on [the
blue moon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon)?  Or, you have a
standing meeting with your boss every other Monday morning, execpt when
Monday is a holiday, then the meeting shifts to Tuesday?  Oh, and you
want something that you can run over an ssh session, while on your smart
phone, or you friend's smart phone?
The answer is simple:
[remind](http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind/).  remind can do
this, and more.  Need to set something up by the Hebrew Calendar? 
Check.  Want your calendar to run a shell command for you on a holiday,
specific day of the month, or phase of the moon? Check.
Most modern Linux distrobutions include remind nowdays, as it is so darn
usefull.  In addition, it runs just fine under Solaris, and the BSDs,
including MacOS X.  If fact, over at
[43Folders](http://www.43Folders.com), they have a whole section their
wiki for [remind](http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/Remind).  The wiki
has many tips and tricks on how to use remind to its fullest.
In my next post, I will share some tips on how I get remind to remind me
of events.
