In order of increasing grooviness

Sudoku is pretty groovy. It's a bit boring to look at, though, all those little monochrome numbers.

It would be groovier if it used pictures. Like flickr, which has lots of pictures. It would be really groovy if you combined flickr with sudoku!

And trannies are groovy, if you could somehow combine trannies, flickr and sudoku, that would be awesomely groovy!

I think so, but I'm kinda biased because i've written it:


Well, you be the judge. I'm pretty chuffed with it because it's the most complicated web application I've ever written on my site. And I wrote it all by myself (with a few stolen bits of code and a couple of helpful hints from Jess!). Please let me know if there are any bugs, there probably are!

How about hamster flickr sudoku? That would be insanely groovy! ;-)

Karol Cross  Becky, you have completely eclipsed all your previous work!

Hamster flickr soduku? I'm been laughing so much, I seriously thought I was going to wet myself. Absolutely brilliant, girl you're a genius! Or totally mad, or errmm both!

Superb! 
Siobhan Curran  Glorious :-D

But you know what would be cooler? Pulling photos straight from whoever's photostream, or based on tags, or dates, or even from the Count To Ten group. And drag-n-drop. And the moon on a stick. 
Becky  Thanks Karol, I really enjoyed hamster soduku too! I actually used the hamsters while play-testing, something quite satisfying about it! :D

Shi-vawn:

"Pulling photos straight from whoever's photostream"
That's work in progress. ;)

"based on tags"
Er, it does that already? :-S

"or dates"
Basically it will use whatever flickr can create as a XML feed. I suppose it could scrape pages off flickr directly, but a) I'd have to we-write it and b) it feels like cheating. ;-)

"Count To Ten group"
That would be cool! I'll see if I can jig the code.

"and drag-n-drop"
Moon on a stick! :)

Oh, and I ought to have given you some credit for giving me the impetous to do it when I saw your calendr, although the raw idea had been knocking around in my head for a while. :-) 
Jessica  I feel worthless now :( 
Becky  Aw bless. I kept her locked up in a room while she worked on the last project. This is classic Stockholm Syndrome. 
Becky  "But you know what would be cooler?"

And anyway, I wasn't working on coolness, I was working on grooviness. It's a separate dimension of meritoriousness. ;-) 
Siobhan Curran  "Basically it will use whatever flickr can create as a XML feed"

There's only so much you can do using XML feeds. Guess who just got herself an API key... 
Becky  Do'h... just realised it's sudoku not "soduku". I've edited the filename and code accordingly. It's weird, I find it really hard to see the difference when reading the word. Msut be aontehr exmalpe of the taht efefct wehre all wrods are raeadble as lnog as the frsit and lsat letrtes are in the rgiht plcae. :) 
Joanna  Fantastic!

All you need now is a tranny flickr dressup soduku to really get the traffic coming in... 
Becky  Hmm, yeah I'm thinking about putting some google ads on it and mentioning it in a few sudoku forums. :) 
Joanna  just realised it's sudoku not "soduku".

Actually I think it's sorta both. Also in the Daily Telegraph its Sudoku (one word) and in the Times its Su Doku (two words). As its converted from Japanese I guess there's a few alternative spellings... 
steph_angel  Becky, the Sewdoocow game is brilliant, and once again people are talking about techy I.T stuff that goes way above my little head!!!

I've no idea how you made it??? Basically if it doesn't involve sticky tape & cardboard I'm buggered... 
Joanna  Have you tweaked it? It's now appearing fully completed... with no spaces... 
Becky  Damn that's what happens when you try to fix a minor bug just before going out to dinner...

Should be fixed properly now! 
Gemma  There's always one more bug :) And enhancement! What you ship is when a) when you get bored, and b) when people stop complaining (sadly, a) always comes before b) :D)

Anyway, another brilliant product from the Envérité laboratory! What next, I wonder? Transvestite hampsters doing a little dance? (which reminded me of this, but I then saw this which I think Becky might like, 'cos she's into Anime :D)
