[_] A bit of Monday Fun (with jQuery)

Hi _,

A few weeks ago I started playing around with the jQuery library and
was really impressed, especially with jUI. Ok so the documentation
isn't that great, but it's *relatively* light-weight and certainly
nice and fast.

To test it out I built a game for one of our web sites with it. It's a
kids version of Sudoku with several levels to work through and
row/column hinting:

Pretty basic stuff, but I was quite pleased for a few hours work, and
nice to see how jQuery coped. It's had 5,500 plays since Saturday and
the average game time is 1:51 seconds - although I don't expect anyone
on this list to take half that time ;)

Cheers,

Rich
