If anyone is interested in the Sudoku solver from last night's dojo, the
code & links to the original paper can be found at
http://transfinite.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/solving-sudoku-with-l1-norm-minimization/
. The slides are at http://www.slideshare.net/bnmoran/l1-sudoku-2657614 .
(If you have been inspired to brush up your linear algebra, a good place
is Gilbert Strang's MIT course,

)
Thinking about ideas for future events, I think it could be fun to do
some more hands-on coding in small groups. How about:
- Something like Robocode (maybe using Jython?
http://www.mail-archive.com/edu-...@python.org/msg05371.html)
- Playing with the IPython parallel features -
http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/rel-0.9.1/html/parallel/index.html
- Something with Twisted- I'm really keen to learn this. Perhaps we
could set up a chat server using the demo projects, find some Eliza
chatbot code & wire it in and stage a networked Turing test...
Cheers
Ben
