Recently I discovered a web page that provide command line interface for google search, as the author called it as Google Shell. Check out the screenshot, and also try it out at http://goosh.org/.

It does looks like unix-shell, thank to Ajax. You may think that is hilarious, but don’t make judgment before trying it out. For me, that is usable. and I should say that is perfect for CLI hardcore users.

I like google translate command line feature very much. Try this:

guest@goosh.org:/web> translate en de hello
translating "hello" from "english" to "german":

"hallo"

Surprisingly, when you hit tab, it does support auto complete and hitting arrow key up and down support keeping history list.

By the way, I find the idea of ordering pizza through command line is even crazy. Imagine you can write a script to loop your pizza choices and put the script to run as cron job ordering pizza as your breakfast every morning.

    This is very interesting. I like dabbling with the command line but I never expected to do it in my browser! The translate feature is pretty handy. Heh…heh. The Pizza Party Perl Script is funny. You need to have an account at dominos to order the pizza! Keep up the good work, man.
