Domino’s Pizza Notifier[^]:

This is going to be a pretty quick post. I may do a more detailed breakdown of this code if there is a demand for it.

This is a small bit of code I wrote. Basically it uses phone numbers that you input and checks to see if that phone number has an active order with Domino’s Pizza. If there is an active order for that phone number, the program sends you an email telling you what that person ordered and when they ordered it. It’s a pretty fun program. I’ve used it on my friends with great results.

Sometime around 1948, the American mathematician John Wilder Tukey (born 1915) realized that the words binary digit were likely to assume a much greater importance in the years ahead as computers be came more prevalent. He decided to coin a new, shorter word to replace the unwieldy five syllables of binary digit . He considered bigit and binit but settled instead on the short, simple, elegant, and perfectly lovely word bit .

wikipedia:

While working with John von Neumann on early computer designs, Tukey introduced the word "bit" as a contraction of "binary digit".[8] The term "bit" was first used in an article by Claude Shannon in 1948.
