All things bright and beautiful

Wow.  How things change.  With Spring-OSGi renamed as Spring-DM and finally past a 1.0 release it looks like there is renewed interest in the eclipse community.  The attempt I made last November is driving quite a bit of traffic.  Since that was done with earlier versions and I don’t have time to update now – I’m just going to point the stallwart visitor here.

In other news my main site, jaxclipse.com, has been reprovisioned.  Not much there now except for a vanilla drupal installation.  I plan on using it for some hosting, and perhaps will move this blog over there if it ever takes off.

What I’m really interested in right now is grokking Mr. Simon Peyton-Jones’ Sudoku solver. – I’ve seen quite a few clever solvers, but this is the first one I’ve seen that tried to model how a human player goes about finding the next square to complete.  It also produces a script explaining how it was able to “deduce” each move.  Of course it is written in Haskell.
