Thought this one was interesting. Basically, I found this neat code and I would like someone else to port it to SQL Server for me.I'm interested in seeing the results.
I've been thinking about developing a VBA solution for Excel.
Actually, back when Sudoku first started getting big, I wrote a Level 3 solver in just Excel formulas (i.e., no VBA). Writing a correct Level X Solver (that's one that can solve any Sudoku puzzle) with VBA shouldn't be that hard.
More interesting challenges would be to write a Rater, or else a Generator, or even a Rating-selected Generator.

Hey Barry! We were getting concerned here. Haven't heard from you in a while. Everything okay?

I got lots of head shaking all day with mine, and then some funny looks walking around town later.However quite a few people said they'd wear then next year. we'll see.
I'm game to wear one next year, if I can make it to the summit, even though it doesn't fit in with my French heritage.
🙂
Like it works when you're German/English. It doesn't matter. Don't worry about tartan. Get a kilt. Wednesday again next year.
Actually, I do have a family tartan. Wonder if I can find it for next year... 😀

Yeah welcome back.
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all the american folks out there.
I wont be on the forums much, from now on for a while, Just been told my last working day is tomorrow, So looking for a new contract. Hard to believe that they would get rid of the only DBA for the entire UK division but hey it happens.
Have a good time and enjoy your time spent with family and loved ones 🙂

Yes it happens, and thats a part of being a contracts.
I had the same experience once (intimated 1 day before), though they came back to me later, I had to say "NO", since I got another contract.
All the best for your new job trials.

Best wishes to you too.

I just took the liberty of calling ProActive and asked directly how Barry was doing. Although they obviously couldn't share details, it appears that he is alive, but "under the weather." I asked them to relay the message that many of us here were concerned about him and hope he gets to feeling better.
Yes, it seems that reports of my demise are somewhat exaggerated. 🙂

Too be honest, I never saw myself being in the top 5 or breaking 10,000! :Wow:
The first 10,000 points are the toughest. Or so I hear. 😀
