Back on the first a little after 6pm I received a text message on my phone:"Hey, off the top of your head do you know what 255 would be in base 8?"About 15 minutes later the following came in:"Never mind. Figured it out. 255=377 In base 8/ octal"So... now the weirdness.The sending cell number isn't one I recognize. Not only don't I recognize it... it comes from a part of the country that I know absolutely no one in. "Florence", South Carolina.I quote Florence because prefixes in cell phones are widely inaccurate as to the origin of the owner. Admittedly, some times the area codes are misnomers too.My cell phone number puts me in Van Nuys, California.So.. with no signature... I'm left trying to figure out who the hell would text me a number conversion question on Saturday evening who's phon
In trying to figure out the best way to make, contact and keep new SAHM friends, I have to remind myself that everyone’s communication preferences are different. My preferred method of communication is still e-mail - a holdover from my working mom days. But e-mails are harder to come by and typically the slowest method of communicating [...]
Method:You display a question in your MS Powerpoint presentation, the participants answer by sending a text message using their mobile telephones, and the results of the vote are displayed as a graph in the presentation.Pros:The participants themselves supply the voting devices, which are their own mobile telephones! There are no logistics, and the cost of organising the session is cut significantly.Cons:Writing a text message answer (the writing and sending of the text) is harder work than using a voting keypad (where there are just a few keys to press), so it takes longer to answer. You will also need an Internet connection on the PC and good coverage for the mobile telephones.My opinion:This is the best solution to use when you have a large number of participants (500+ people) and a sm
The highway authorities of Western Finland had had some problems with people vandalizing the public roadside restrooms they had installed for the urgent needs of travelers And, one might surmise, to reduce the number of patches of yellow snow along the side of the roads. The solution was not closing down the restrooms altogether, or investing in video surveillance. No, instead the Finns decided to put in text message controlled locks. The cost of opening a restroom is nothing more than the regular text message, but the senders number is kept in a database for some time, allowing maintenance to track down vandals. The state of Swedish roadside restrooms is usually somewhere between "horrible" and "core melt down", so this idea might be something for Swedish Vägverket to study?
Today I received a text message from a friend that was forwarded from someone else. The message had a statement that said “It’s coming close to the end of 2007, Confess to me one thing that you have wanted to tell me?” So I responded with some question then I forwarded it to a few people and 2 out of 5 of the people I sent it to me ended up liking me.

By Steve Wieberg, USA TODAY The NCAA is sticking, for now, with a ban on text messaging in college recruiting. The association’s Division I board of directors on Thursday essentially rejected a call by nearly three dozen schools to rescind or alter the restrictions it approved in April. They took effect Aug. 1, limiting electronically transmitted correspondence to recruits to e-mail and faxes. The move is designed to end a text-messaging proliferation that a number of athletes complained cost more…
Free Calls, SMS: Fighting Crime Could Possibly Be a Text Message AwayAn interesting story aired last night on ABC. I was watching the news and they had a segment on crime fighing via text message. Apparently this stemmed from an event which resulted in a positive outcome… all by the means of a text.Two young teens were kidnapped outside of a night club in Atlanta. While locked in the trunk of the car one of the teens managed to send a text message to his brother who then alerted 911 which led to the capture of the kidnappers.Could something as simple as text-messaging be the newest way of crime fighting? Whats interesting is that some of the people that were spoken to admitted that it would be easier and more annoymous because no one would actually be overheard if placing a 911 phone call. According to a quote on ABC’s website:It’s that kind of initiative that has police departments looking to use cell phones as another type of crime-fighting tool, as Americans send more than 18

A Malaysian teenager woken by a night-time noise dashed off a warning text message to her mother just in time to be rescued from an intruder who burst into her bedroom.Alerted by the mother's screams, relatives rushed to the rescue, breaking down a door and scaring off the man, who escaped through the back of the house, the New Straits Times said. Salima Mohamad Noor, 17, said a man broke into her bedroom and placed a knife at her neck just as she finished sending the message on her cellular telephone."I was terrified and started screaming when he threatened to kill me," the newspaper quoted Salima as saying. "He also said no one would come to my rescue as he had already locked my mother's bedroom door from the outside."
