Comments on: Inferno http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ab/blog/?p=62 What's ab up to now?

For anyone else reading this, Greg’s talkiing about my puzzle links page (http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ab/puzzles/), which is my pick of the best of the online sites.

The new Nikoli site is the reincarnation of the much-missed Puzzle Japan. I’m a subscriber and love it, though I’d like more hard puzzles and fewer easy ones. They put up some of the puzzles- including all the contest ones- for free, so go check them out.

Thanks for the comment, GregS- I hope to be back to blogging this weekend or so if I can get some housecleaning (literally!) done.

I have nothing to say about this blog entry, but I happened across your website while doing some searching for puzzle websites, and you are the first I’ve seen to mention Nikoli.

God bless you. Nikoli’s site appears to be a reincarnation of “Puzzle Japan”, which pulled the plug some time ago with no explanation other than “unforeseen circumstances”. I’ve found Conceptis to be a mostly adequate substitute, but PJ was a class above. Thanks to you, I can stop worrying about where I’ll waste my work hours!

Sorry for the random intrusion, but thought you’d like to know you managed to make a total stranger decidedly happy today.
