The Geekword Puzzle
This month, in the spirit of "Making Linux a Little More Fun", I decided to try my hand at a Linux crossword puzzle. This presented a number of interesting challenges: for one thing, using a crossword compiler requires having a large list of words as well as a grid that matches that list to some degree (i.e., word length, common letters in appropriate positions, etc.) The Answer Gang kicked in several hundred Linux- and computer-related words; unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough for the hungry compiler beast - even though I spent a lot of time bending my brain around various grid designs. Perhaps that approach will pay off later; in the meantime, I decided to design a crossword manually, since I'd heard that some people consider this a fun activity.
In any case, the result of all the cogitation, agitation, and meditation is presented here for your enjoyment; I hope you have as much fun... yeah, that's the word... solving it as I had designing it!
