Hmm, its been a while since we've all done one, actually (goes and searches) appears to be goldbugs Calendar contest appears no one won yet

Maybe its time for another, one that all can enter. I have no ideas at the moment but im sure someone does.

Theres also another 3 contests a guestbook by Buzz, 99 Bottles by weedpacket, and of course goldbugs Calendar linked above, so we may want to try and keep the ideas unique.

I've been having a lot of fun (yes I really am that sad) over the last week building a So Duko solver and generator. There's quite a few ways of tackling the problem as well so it's doubtful we'll get loads of almost identical entries (unless there's some cheating going on 😉 )

Hehe one of my housemates is very keen on So Doku. I think he manages to solve them every day in the times

I spent a good couple of hours on one of the Independent jumbo (hexidecimal😃) Saturday ones and was very pissed off when my solver completed it in about a second.

I've been doing a hell of alot of reading lately about all kinds of stuff. Yeah, I know, lately I've been a total dumbshit too, but oh well...I've been keeping really long hours and it's only going to get worse.

Anyways, this is rather pedantic but I think it could have a good use.

It's not really a contest, but rather a gallery of methods. I'd be curious to see how everybody would take the same concept for a simple form and rework it with validation, error messages, securities, etc. To practically 'craft' the perfect form. It wouldn't have to be strictly PHP as there's a heck of alot of great javascript things that could be thrown in as well...

Not sure you can call it "fun" 🙂
I'm crossing my fingers--it's behaved itself for the last 2 days. Now if I can just get it to play nice w/ RADIUS/PEAP...
