Well, in the case of our "application", it *is* boring unless you do
something with it...  But in any case, google really does manage to
impress me with the kind of stuff that they do -- and being able to
connect to that is therefore -- IMO -- a very nice thing.

Bah -- I've heard about it one too many times (actually, two now).
SQL, in contrast to google, is so unexciting that I never bothered
looking at that sudoku thing.  It's as "exciting" as writing a sudoku
solver in Scheme using regexp operations only...
