I know a lot of people who are on the math-fun list use the OEIS sporadically - everyone is invited to the e-party! Neil Subject: OEIS 100K Party To everyone who uses the OEIS! Sometime this year the sequence count will reach 100000. It's too bad we are spread out over the world, or we could have a party. But I have a suggestion: An e-party! Everyone send in a digital photo of themselves holding a drink and making a toast to the OEIS. These picture will be collected into a special web page posted on the OEIS web site. The page now exists: see http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/100k.html Under each picture it would give your name, city, date and perhaps a brief message. Also, if you like, your home page. Example: --------------------------------------------- | | Photo of XXX holding a glass of beer | | --------------------------------------------- Heinz Meyer, Berlin, Aug 20 2004 (Home Page: http://www.aaa.bbb.ccc/~meyer/ ) "Best Wishes to the OEIS upon reaching 100K sequences!" If you think this is a good idea, start sending me photos and I will post them as they arrive. Since I will probably have to shrink them, tell me the original size of the photo: 6 inches by 9 inches, or 20 cm by 30 cm, etc.) -------------------------------- Another thing: sequence A100000 should be special. Please look at all the new sequences in the next few months - if you see one that is worthy of being A100000, send me a message. I will pick the winner and change its number to A100000.
