Free Hosting Satellites
With free hosting, it is possible to set up a few sites in a short amount of time. I was still collecting links for sudokustart and sudokuplaats, when I stumbled on a few free hosting companies. Daily sudokus are now shown on a couple of new sites, and links to sudocue.net have been added.
A Dutch user guide for SudoCue was long overdue, and in fact the only thing missing on sudokuplaats. It is now there.
Still programming and planning SudokuStart. This site must have a good launch, so I’ll give it a bit extra time.
Finally had contact with Milo, the site admin of the sudoku programmers forum. I’m now a moderator for the forum, which allows me to take care of the forum, by adding sticky topics and remove rubbish.
Another candidate for sudocue daily syndication, and received an interesting business proposal. The activities seem to produce results now.
SudokuPlaats.nl upgrades part 3
I’m not sure why I’m so obsessed with this site. It has such a nice look, and it’s getting better and better. Spent today writing a maintenance interface for the links database.
This is almost a sellable concept. Anyway, I now have some experience in writing maintence pages in PHP. This might come in handy for my next venture, nuf said.
Before we continue, I do want a shout box on SudokuPlaats. So that’s the next challenge.
Uploaded 3 Nightmares.
Looks like Angus is ready to retire. That would leave an opportunity for other freeware programs.
SudokuPlaats.nl has a very nice daily Sudoku interface
OK, I had this coming for quite some time now, but my revision of www.SudokuPlaats.nl is now done. Those poor Dutch could not cope with the daily Nightmares I threw at them at SudoCue.net. It is the chosen few who dare to attack these monsters.
Anyway, the interface allows selection of difficulty, restart, check puzzel and show solution. What more do you need for these ‘easies’?
(update)
And now the navbar has been blinged, and the Links page is eckzdreamley cool, with search dropper, language flags and ratings. It’s all in the database too!
Easies uploaded
I uploaded a few thousand easy sudokus into my site database. They are easy because they only require singles to solve. They are also a heartache because they were selected for slow solving paths. The best one requires 26 rounds of solving. I will put these on my Dutch support site, and report availability to my syndicated sites.
Written a mail to a young sudoku site maker about invalid sudokus. Hope it does not scare him off.
A new top listing for Sudokus has emerged. I submitted sudocue.net and it went straight to the top. Now the pressure to come with the top 9×9 has eased a little. This looks like a good listing.
