I just finished throwing together a script to track your Dominos order  
via the  
terminal. The idea and the original code was taken from another person  
who  
originally wrote the script in Python. I decided I wanted to port it to  
Ruby and  
add some extra features.

I’m pretty pleased with it, so I figured I’d show it to you guys.

Here is the page I wrote about it:  
[http://shakti.trincoll.edu/~dmerrick/dominos.html](http://shakti.trincoll.edu/~dmerrick/dominos.html)

And here is the direct link:  
[http://shakti.trincoll.edu/~dmerrick/dominos/dominos.rb](http://shakti.trincoll.edu/~dmerrick/dominos/dominos.rb)

If you take a look at it, let me know what you think! I’m very open to  
suggestions.

Happy hacking,  
-Dana

I’m glad you like it, though I cannot accept responsibility for the  
idea. I  
simply brought it over to a more fun language. :-).

Please tell me if you have any problems or suggestions or anything like  
that. I  
had a blast with this project and I’d like to make it as good as it  
could  
possibly be.

Also, if you use it with a complicated order and the formatting for the  
order  
description gets funky, let me know and I’ll take a swing at it.
