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.) 
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

| . . 9 | . . . | . . . |
| . 2 . | 6 . . | 1 3 . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | 4 . 6 | . . 5 |
| . 3 . | 7 . 9 | . . . |
| . . 1 | . . . | 9 2 . |

| . . . | . . 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.

| 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 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.
