go for it, sloppy, post them all.

This perl script outputs the first 10:

my ($num,$last) = (1,10);
for (my $n=1; $n<=$last; $n++) {
print "entry $n is $num \n";
my ($newnum, $lastchar, $count) = ('','',1);
foreach my $char (split //, $num) {
($lastchar = $char, next) unless $lastchar;
($count++, next) if $char eq $lastchar;
$newnum .= $count.$lastchar;
$lastchar = $char;
$count = 1;
}
$num = $newnum.$count.$lastchar;
}

That gives:

entry 1 is 1
entry 2 is 11
entry 3 is 21
entry 4 is 1211
entry 5 is 111221
entry 6 is 312211
entry 7 is 13112221
entry 8 is 1113213211
entry 9 is 31131211131221
entry 10 is 13211311123113112211
