Sudoku solver

I had been working on a small sudoku solver.. Did not finish it though. It goes into infinite loops for difficult ones. You can check it here [ If my laptop is on - look at the status box at top right of my blog]. (Will upload to github when I Can)It is published under GPL license. My interest waned as I worked on it, people are most welcome on using it. At a rate of 1 to 10 for coding, I rate myself at 2.5 . So yeah, feel free to say my code sucks.

Please do anything with it under the GNU GPL.

Hurt

Sometimes when you are hurt, you feel the whole world exists only to plan against you. Doesn't it?

Just venting out. Please do not bother.
