I had that problem in CodeEval:

Write a program to determine the biggest prime palindrome under 1000.

And my solution passed i don’t know if they have other levels than pass but it passed anyway..

Here you are:

oddNumbers 		= [2] + range(3, 1000, 2)
primeNumbers	= []
ppNumbers 		=[]
for item in oddNumbers:
	isPrime = True
	for otherItem in oddNumbers:
		if item % otherItem == 0 and item != otherItem:
			isPrime = False
	if isPrime:
		primeNumbers.append(item)

for prime in primeNumbers:
	if prime > 100 and str(prime)[0] == str(prime)[2]:
		ppNumbers.append(prime)

print ppNumbers[-1]

I first created script to get prime numbers then i search to know what exactly a palindrome number is and i tweaked the script to solve it:)

The personal part of the post:
I -lately- figured out that family support is not only important .. it’s incomparable to any other support..

Simple tasks like sleeping,eating, drinking, transporting, having shower and watching TV are very  normal events that in a computer model they should be abstracted and predefined.
Busying your mind with these repetitive yet annoying tasks is a suicide mission and at the end of the day you will find yourself killing your brain.

If you don’t LOVE your current job, you’ve to change it ..NOW!

Aaaand i’ve a frank statement to add:

In spite of how plain and simple it’s very hard to do ..

Aaand yes, i have very few shots before reaching the level in which i won’t be loving my job anymore..

Entrepreneurship, I’m sure you have heard the buzz, we all did..
I went beyond hearing, I failed with my friends back in 2006 making our very basic start-up bright but we turned into very fame Individuals, that experiment and other ones are constantly attacking the main thread of my life..

So to summarize..

My  career status is complicated..

If you wonder  what about my academic study ..

It’s exam time and i believe I am doing well so far i just want to pay slight more attentions and i believe that I’m on my way..

The emotional status thing..

I believe i did recovered from the very painful period i was passing the past 6 months or so and I’m now looking forward to have a long term, stable, clear, serious relation and i believe that I’m -now- mature enough to do so ..

Aand yes,I’m planning for the silver ring as a mid-term plan..
I still have open-issues like the military service and its impact but i believe that I’ll reach an approximate model very soon..

For the record I got all my friends either on the marriage or the engagement level except for kamasheto who is homeless in Germany, so now is the time.

My Volunteer life,

Nozom had it’s first event and it was great and i got a mug and a t-shirt.

I wrote an article that’s related to security and CDN in nozomgeeks.com مهاويس called “الحماية الخطرة” yeah the name is bit weird.

Now, while writing this article, CAT is having TwentyCAT such an innovative event

If you noticed I wrote that single log in English and that’s only because it was more convenient to do now as I’m in #@$^$%$@ transportation.

And I also will conplete the “الثورة المجيدة” seriese as soon as I’ve time to write in Arabic.

٣ سنين عدت .. يا ترى إتنسيت ..!!
طيب لو إتنسيت .. هوا ممكن أنا أنسى .. ؟؟

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله وبركاته

Last 2 weeks

I was working last 2 weeks -between Cairo and Mansoura- for tadabborIT, for tadabbor website next release, also I’ve attended the JDC2010 conference and through that week I should have read about 4 reading tasks and should have solved tasks by Design patterns course by my dear mentor Ahmed Soliman, while planning to join GSoC.

Not to mention the courses and websites I’m delaying and canceling ..

And here I’m defining a new busyness level ..

One note before i go: If i survived that stage, I think I’ll be much more stronger than what I used to be, I also believe that It should be a milestone.

Anyway, I believe I can try
