| I think the Neil Sloane Numberphile episodes are amongst my
| favourites (along with Cliff Stoll of course) and it's amazing
| that such a hobby project can become so useful. I think the
| appeal of his videos is that he introduces sequences as a type of
| game, draws you in and then later on, the interesting questions
| are introduced.

| Am I right in remembering that at one point the OEIS ran on a
| single machine that Neil Sloane ran himself?
|
| Personally, I used to use the database for counts of graphs
| (labelled vs unlablelled) and chemicals. Very useful and clear
| single-purpose tool.
