Is anyone interested in going through those Strang's lectures with me?
Like a book club. We could watch one lecture a week at our own
convenience, and then use a google group or somesuch to discuss our
answers to the exercises.
A few of us are currently doing the same with SICP, and although our
progress is not terrifically speedy, it seems to be working out.

If anyone is interested in the Sudoku solver from last night's dojo,
the code & links to the original paper can be found at

(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
