Is it just me or are the daily postings a little behind. Is our Sudoku Master on vacation?

First thought is - I hope the 'Master' is OK.
Whew - I was so glad to see that I'm not the only one not finding it.
Nothing like having something break down to really appreciate it - doesn't happen very often here. (Note: I meant break down doesn't happen often, not appreciation doesn't happen often - whatEVER.) Embarassed
Usually I can open the next day's puzzle and stay a day ahead - think I'll see if that comes up.
(Note 2 - I see that I sent this tomorrow - maybe we've entered the Twilight Zone.)

For the time to wait here are two from my DS collection.

Hard
Code:
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . 1 . | . . . | . . . |
 | . . 9 | . . . | . . . |
 | . 2 . | 6 . . | 1 3 . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . . . | 4 . 6 | . . 5 |
 | . 3 . | 7 . 9 | . . . |
 | . . 1 | . . . | 9 2 . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | 7 4 . | . . . | . . 6 |
 | . . . | . . 8 | . . 9 |
 | . . . | . . . | 8 4 . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
>>> play online

[Added:] I saw now, that this puzzle is rated "too hard" in the online solver. It needs a hidden pair/naked quad and hidden triple/naked quad or alternatively a skyscraper. Sorry, hope, its interesting nevertheless.

VH
Code:
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . 1 . | . . . | . . . |
 | . . 7 | . . . | . . . |
 | . 2 . | 9 . . | 4 8 . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . . . | 7 . 4 | . . 6 |
 | . 3 . | 5 . 1 | . . . |
 | . . 8 | . . . | 1 3 . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | 6 4 . | . . . | . . 3 |
 | . . . | . . 3 | . . 4 |
 | . . . | . . . | 2 5 . |
 +-------+-------+-------+

Although January 31st is on file it wasn't posted on the archive page either. A directory for February was created but so far nothing has been filed. Sniff sniff, where are you Sudoku Master?

Thank you Ravel for the puzzles. My morning coffee break just isn't the same without a Suduko to solve. Hope Sam gets back soon!

I did the second of your puzzles - needed quite of cleaning up and then an XYZ wing that revealed an XY wing to crack it open. Nice.

I'll do the first of your puzzles tomorrow.

Cheers

So here I am, Sunday morning jamas, coffee and toast all ready - eeek!
No Sudoku! Now how am I going to get my brain into gear?
Oh good, the archive is working OK.
Get well soon, we miss you!

I am seriously concerned for our master (lower-case 'm'). For us this is just a disappointment. I feel safe in saying he is as passionate about the game as are we who follow, and for nothing to show up is a huge red flag. If it were simply a xx, I would expect to see a comment from him posted here. Another possibility is taking off on vacation/holiday and while hurrying to finish, didn't complete the task. Let's hope it isn't illness or accident, etc.

Yes.

As we all know, change is the only stability you meet on the internet. And I'm positively glad that this site is presenting us with a daily sudoku since more than 4 (!!) years.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Now the Feb 1st is in the archive Smile Its easy to solve without pencilmarks.
Code:
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | 8 . 9 | . . 6 | . . 3 |
 | 7 3 6 | . 8 . | . . 1 |
 | . 4 . | . 7 . | . . 9 |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . . . | . 9 5 | . . . |
 | 6 7 5 | . . . | 9 1 8 |
 | . 9 . | 6 1 . | . . . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . 6 7 | . 3 . | . 4 . |
 |<1>. 4 | . 6 . | 3<9>. |
 |<9>. 3 | 2 . . |<1>. 6 |
 +-------+-------+-------+
The 19's in boxes 7 and 9 give a hidden pair in r7c46. So the only place for an 8 in row 7 is r7c7.

Yes. Yes.

But, should now be fixed, or so the "Sudoku Master" assures me.
