Google Command Line Calculator
In a somewhat shocking move, my Google Command Line Calculator hack was picked up for the second edition of Google Hacks.
I found this out from Rael back in October at Web 2.0, but I forgot to blog about it. I finally picked up a copy when I crashed the O’Reilly booth at MacWorld. Sure enough, I am Hack #47: Bring the Google Calculator to the Command Line.
I know hard core Unix weenies use bc and dc, but I don’t want to bother with the reverse-polish, thank you very much. Besides, Google supports a variety of non-standard features, like unit conversion, roman numerals, and physical constants.
In exchange for contributing my hack, I receive fame, glory, my bio at the front of the book, and blogging rights.
