1. Let me know when my friend switches on his phone It simply depends on the SMS directive *NM# which is the short of “Notify Mobile”. When you send an SMS starting with *NM# the receiving party will only see the text following this directive and the sender will receive a confirmation SMS when the receiving party receives your message. The trick: SMS will be delivered when the receiving party switches on his phone. so you can send an SMS containing the following text: *NM# Hello When the other party switches on his phone, he will receive the message “Hello”  [ Read More ]

During the development of my blog site, I was put in a situation where I need to post some blogs in Arabic and some other in English, which makes it difficult to automatically adjust the text direction from right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR). I had to choose between using special plugins, use Arabic supported wordpress themes, or to write a small code to customize the appearance. I decided to take the 3rd choice and write a simple code . The first thing I thought of is to create a new custom field (I named it Dir_RTL), to create a custom  [ Read More ]

عندما كنت صغيرا، كنت أسمع جدتى تقول معنفة بعض أقاربى بكلمة “عيش عيشة أهلك” فأتعجب، لماذا تريد جدتى هذه النمطية فى الحياة فنعيش كما عاش أهلنا، و متى سيمكننا تغيير ذلك الأسلوب إلى الأفضل. كنت أتخيل وقتها أن الإختلاف عن الأهل مرفوض أو غير مقبول عند بعض الناس. و مرت سنوات كثيرة حتى فهمت ماذا تعنى هذه المقولة، و فهمت ماذا يعنى أن يأتى الجيل الجديد بتقاليع جديدة لم تكن فى عصر أهاليهم وهذا طبيعى. الغير طبيعى أن ينسى الجيل الجديد تماما أصوله و يكون نمط حياة لا يمت بأى صلة لحياة أهله أو مجتمعه. هالتنى الدهشة عندما وجدت أن  [ Read More ]

من المفارقات أن «أم القرى» – وهي مجرّد سوق للقبائل الضاربة في الحجاز – باتت أم الحواضر في شبه جزيرة العرب، القابضة على زمام تجارة الشرق، لا سيما بعد أفول حضارة اليمن، واندفاع موجات من قبائله شمالاً حتى الشام والعراق، عاكسة تأثيرها على التركيب السكاني في المنطقة بما فيها الحجاز، لتصبح مكة محور تلك الحركة ونبضها في عالم تتجاذبه القوى الكبرى وتتصارع على السيادة فيه. كيف حدث ذلك؟ ولماذا مكّة بالذات، وهي {واد غير ذي زرع} كما جاء في السياق القرآني، إلى توصيفات مماثلة في أدبيات الجغرافية والتاريخ؟ لابدّ إذاً من العودة مسافة طويلة في الزمن، حيث بدأ يتردّد اسمها  [ Read More ]

In this post, I will use a generic model for phone numbers that has a 3-digit prefix and a running width of 7 digits. To start, I will fix the prefix to be 123, so P1=1 P2=2, P3=3. The 7-digit running numbers will give us 10,000,000 numbers starting from 0,000,000 up to 9,999,999 Again, we will name each digit from the running numbers as n1, n2, .. n7. Class 1 numbers: Examples of unique patterns Full ascending: (1 instance per 10,000,000) 123-4567890 Ascending running: (4 per 10,000,000) 123-012 3456 123-123 4567 123-234 5678 123-345 6789 Descending running: (4 per 10,000,000)  [ Read More ]

A basic structure of numbering system can split any number to 2 basic sections: Prefix, which is a set of digits or letters identifying the “series” the subject number belongs to Running or functional part, which contains the numeric unique value In many cases, there can be some additional parts of the numbers like suffix, parity flag, or error correction codes. But we will assume the simple form of 2-part numbers as described above. A prefix can be a set of digits or letters or a mix of digits and letter.
