Update 10 January

January 10, 2016 By Phixwd Leave a Comment

And here we are in 2016 – happy new year!  A run of reasonable weather has allowed us to get our garden into some semblance of order, with some new plants and some others transplanted.  And oodles of strawberries of course.

The puzzle today is a Beelzebub from 2005, which year I have plundered somewhat already.  Still, I try to make each puzzle solvable on its own terms so that shouldn’t matter.  It’s also my first update on my new machine.  I can’t see much that is different, except possibly some problem in transferring tabbed entries.  The new grids (puzzle and solution) also came down as ever-so-slightly not square.

The update is a fraction too late to alert you to Coming Through, the Independent Inquisitor puzzle for January 9.  A setter’s blog will follow hard upon its closing date of 20 January, and the next update will be close behind that.
