don't know why i keep finding these numbers so intriguing - usually i lean towards a more free-flowing, organic countenance, but here perhaps there is some wiggle room to be found, a sort of inner depth i hadn't noticed before...

maybe there is something organic about this numbers as they do not seem to follow any sort of system or order ?
π: 0 β©: 1
i think that is it. it allows them some freedom - breaks them out of their sequences so they can fade and coalesce as their own being.

This is a very agitating image for the computer programmers at DA. At first it looks like base 16, but then there are no zeros!

I never looked at it this way, but you certainly have a point here !!

I count on you with the Saturday lottery !!!!

Did you never see "Lost"? Using those numbers for the lottery would be a bad idea

I'd recommend it to anyone. But you'll need a couple of months to watch it all

Oh, why is that ? At least numbers give a little rule in this world - well, at least some of them (those outside the financial world)

Maybe is for simple ignorance about them...

There is so much ignorance around. I would not be surprised ...

π: 0 β©: 1

It was in this place 
Absolutely awesome ! Most machines were in working order, including the melting of the lead. I had never seen that before.

In Alpirsbach, if you should come to this region
What a shame that they do not even mention the museum on their official tourist site

Hallo Ulrich. Mich wΓΌrde interessieren, was das fΓΌr ein Museum ist und wo das genau ist. WΓ€r cool, wenn du mir nΓ€heres sagen kΓΆnntest.

Das Museum fungiert tatsΓ€chlich auch noch als echte Druckerei fΓΌr das Kloster in Alpirsbach. Es gibt auch Kurse etc. Lohnt jeden Besuch.

You're right! I remember this one! Well done, and a nice commemoration to your meeting.

a strange series of numbers I should say
π: 0 β©: 1
what are they used for?
π: 0 β©: 0
What were those numbers anyway? I remember you taking the shot but not what they were!
π: 0 β©: 1
These were sets of matrices for one of the type setting machines and different fonts. All figures are availabe in different sizes.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes. The way the numbers are in sequence but also repeat makes it puzzling if one does not know.
π: 0 β©: 1
And still, it does not seem to be completely right ...
