Just a quick note to say I’ve joined Frappr’s map of Vim users – have you?
As an aside, Frappr seems to be quite similar to Orkut, in that it is a community site for staying in touch with [and making new] friends. I can only hope that it is less prone to crash, which is one thing that really irritates me about Orkut.
A few weeks ago I was asked to help set up a system where an email would be texted to someone so long as a certain keyword was used in the subject line.
My solution should work under any Unix/Linux system, assuming you have 02sms installed and have an alias set up in in your .o2smsrc for texting SMSs to yourself; my alias is named ‘me’. This also assumes that you have procmail set up and requires the following snippet to be pasted into your .procmailrc and edited as required.
The snippet is set so an email is only forwarded by SMS if it is sent by one of two approved email addresses and the subject line contains the phrase ‘txtken’ with no leading or trailing spaces.
:0 * 1^0 ^From:.*xxx@xxxxx.xx * 1^0 ^From:.*yyyyy@yyyy.yy * ^Subject: txtken$ | formail -k -X From: | o2sms me > /dev/null
It seems a large amount of phone numbers will change in 2006, affecting numbers in the 044, 0506, 0509, 0502, 055, 054 and 055 areas – these seven areas are going to be merged into just three: 044, 057 and 053.
This will obviously have an impact on any business that maintains contact details of their customers and so on. Check the comreg site for details.
