Yay! I celebrated Pi Day!
When is e day?

Actually, it would be cool if TI had a holiday for each of their beloved graphing calculators (i.e. TI-83+ Day)

Would that be on the 83rd day of the year? (March 24, 2003)

unless it's a leap year...

I'm talking about this year

yeah, I wasn't paying attention...
but there's no TI-83+ day anyway...

(Of course, it gets deleted when I say this... though, I don't know why)

JcN said it would be cool _if_ there was a day for the calculators, (ex. TI-83+ day) he didn't say that there was one. :)

No, since it's 83+, it'd be the 84th day of the year. TI-83 Day would be the 83rd day of the year... Hey! TI-80 day, then a day off, then TI-82 day, then TI-83 day, then TI-83+/SE day, then TI-85 day, then TI-86 day, then a couple days to relax, then TI-89 day, then another couple days off, then TI-92 day, then TI-92+ day! The only odd ones out are the TI-73 and the Voyage 200...

Yep, Pi day was definately on my agenda! Why wouldn't it be. It is one of the most inportant mathematical contstants [if not the most]! A lot of people don't appreciate the many mathematical and scientific principles that have been used to make their everyday life so much easier!
To the "layman" it is just a lot of "geeky jiberish" [hardly!]! The people should be educated and made aware of the importance of such things so as to create a better world for all to live in.
For example, when ever I mention anything about the "Unified Field Theory" everyone around me [except one of my close friends] looks at me with a puzzled look on their face as if to say "yeah, what ever, science boy!" It will be the greatest scientific descovery IN THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!

Sorry to get a bit off track there, but I was just trying to make a point.
It should be our duty to educate and inform of these important parts of everyday life!
Pi Rules!!!!!

YES PI RULES however i forgot that it happened until after school. don't chastise me, i already feel bad enough. a waste of a day, so now i have to wait another year.

happy f***ing st. patrick's day, i won't celebrate it because I'M A SCOT and THEREFORE I CAN FLOUT IT OPENLY WITHOUT FEAR OF RETRIBUTION. Also, I haven't a speck of green on today except for the solder resist on the motherboards of my calculators. Well, I hope it doesn't count. oh great now i'm being pinched for writing this.

Next year, Pi Day = Sunday... :(

Aww... we don't get to show off next year either. *cry*

But hey, in 2005, it's Monday. :)

Day-After-Pi-Day Day Partay :)

lol, that's got a good ring to it :)

What about '06? That's the year I graduate from high school!

...."Unified Field Theory"

Don't you mean the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) that, when discovered, will explain the structure and behavior of the universe in one theory, thus explaining and uniting both deep-space astronomy and quantum mechanics as a single theory?

Umm, it is the "Unified Field Theory!" [ie, the unification of all four forces that exist in our universe! Gravity, Electro Magnetism, Stong Nuclear Force and Weak Nuclear Force!]
They have already found unification of two fields, electro weak force as it is known!
Don't try to controdict me! I know what I am talking about!

Any way, HAPPY Pi DAY!!!!!!

Yeah, the GUT has the 4 separate forces... We learned this stuff in physics. OMG! I remembered something from that class!!!

Um...yeah. The GUT covers the Unified Field Theory, I think.

I put food in my GUT...

I didn't celebrate Pi Day...I was too busy doing nothing since I didn't have school.

Also, who's going to respond with the third choice...
If you're at a site devoted to TI Calculators, and you don't know what pi is...

my father bought a pecan pi, and I went over to a friend's birthday party. does that count?

I don't think so...mmm...pecan-flavored Greek letters

I know. JcN said:

"Actually, it would be cool if TI had a holiday for each of their beloved graphing calculators (i.e. TI-83+ Day)"

He didn't say that there WAS one.

I meant that we, the members of ticalc.org, should create the days and celebrate them here in a similar fashion as Pi Day.

BTW, did you get Morgan's message, no_one?

He should have!

I got mine, but them I'm some_one.

So, who's going to help Morgan? I am.

me too...I've already started on the 89 basic math programs...

83+ asm graphics coming up...

I'm doing lots of 83+ stuff... Already sent in the FLASH APPs. :) Next I'm going to do levels. :)
Then, MirageOS games.

As well as 82 ASM games :) (Ash, CrASH, Ace, and OS-82)

I'm doing 86 BASIC games

I'm doing TI-83+ assembly misc. progs.

Thank you all for the help. It seems to be going good so far. For those who don't know what they are talking about. I sent an e-mail to many members of ticalc.org asking for help in screenshotting the archives. Every single file needs one.

If I didn't send you an e-mail it wasn't because i don't wantt you to help, it's because I didn't see your name in the article I pullled most of these members from.

If you would like to take a directory and help out with the screenshots please contact me. I will set you up.

I'll be doing 83+ somethings (when I get the time to)

Meeeeeeee! This is going to be fun :) Since I have so much extra time (in other words... doing homework the period before it's due), then it shouldn't be a problem. lol

Yes, and I will start on that today :) I noticed you got one too (in the To: list of the e-mail). What section are you doing? I'm doing the 82 asm games.

I'm wondering who's going to do the 83+ BASIC sections ... all those files in there ...

I'll do it! lol, it seems like I volunteered for EVERYTHING in the 83+ :p

Yay! If it is at a Menu(, waiting for Input, or Pause'ed, TI-Connect can get a screenshot. w00t!

BTW, don't make screenshots for files that already have them. I noticed you did for a few, that's fine, but they probably won't be added.

I counted and I have made 1,004 screen shots for 86/asm over the last 18 days, who is up to beating me.

Try that for motivation. :-)

I've got to get to work; if I don't soon, there'll be no 89 files left!

Where is the list? Or is there one?

Hmm... I didn't save the Screenshot/No Screenshot images with the HTML files... :\

Someone already did it, just to be a smart-alec. *sigh* If you don't know what pi is, you shouldn't be allowed to play games on your calculator.

Corporate sanctioned culture. yuk.

that's sick. Offense, but that's sick.

Don't you mean *NO* offense? :p

I don't think he did ;-)

Hey, I would celebrate TI-82 and TI-89 day!

And don't forget the wacky-colored TI-73 Explorer day! That would be so weird... have they even made any TI-73 APPS? It has flash ROM, they should use it :)

I don't know if TI did, but Detached Solutions's CalcSys is availble for it... And I think ProbSim is too...

If you load up Flash debugger with a 73, you get a host of Flash Apps on it...

I calculated e Day to be April 12 8:28:18 (April 11 in a leap year), 71st day of February if February had that many days. Someone can check it if they want to.

Unfortunately, that is a Saturday this year. :(

or you could just truncate it to February 7th...

Then we missed it!!!

Noooooooooo!

I was thinking of
1/27 (Europeans could switch it around)
or
2/7 (it's been mentioned already, though)

I think I like 2/7 better, though. I think I'll start memorizing e, just to be a super-nerd at my school :)

2.7182818... Can you beat that? (I remember that because that is the date/time :p )

i day would get quite confusing...
