Tough Sudoku

This is the toughest Sudoku puzzle I've come across yet. It was generated at random by the excellent Sudoku program I have on my PDA. Solving it -- as opposed to making guesses and backtracking when the guess turns out wrong -- required some advanced techniques I had yet to learn. See how you do with it.

Great Sudoku site you linked to! Oh, and my employer wants the time back that I spent there learning advanced Sudoku techniques that I never knew existed before.
