We're at 19 signups now! A little over a week left to sign up. Tell your Dyxum friends, get them to join in too!!

I'll work with Fred next week and we'll sort the list to maximize geographical dispersion using our super complicated algorithm, LOL.

It is mathematical possible to calculate exactly the distances between two points on the globe.
Put all coordinates into excel and maximum geographical spread can be found. Maybe next year?

We'll ask ChatGPT too, compare our result!

Awesome! Meet up with Fred_S on the 15th or so, finalize the ordered list. I have a spreadsheet too. Maybe we can make a Google Sheet that we can share, adjust the finer points of the algorithm!! Ha.

I hope we get a few more signups in the next few days. In the meantime, I'm getting my printer warmed up.

@jvsanchez and @xolunaoke ... we'll make sure that you won't have to send postcards to each other!! Feel free to send yourselves any extra pics though I've sent myself a postcard, testing out an online service. I prefer inkjet printing and handprinting the back ... old school. Ultimately though, use the workflow that works best for you!!

5 more signup days ... getting close!

Hahah thanks! Our postal worker might find it odd that we were sending items to ourselves

I’ve selected mine, not sure if Luna’s picked hers yet, but I know she’s been taking plenty of photos.
