Edit: I may go with a sort of "sticker" theme. If anyone has any objections or suggestions, let me know!

No, I don't know what it is, how did you know? Anyways, what are your ideas before I go with a graph paper theme?..

Just a blank journal, since I couldn't delete this really dumb post I made.

I was reading the book for problem 455, and the answer has two white stones marked by triangles. Obviously they had not been captured, and no one plays where they are in the problem (or could, for that matter). They stay in the same place for the remainder of the problem. So what does it mean, that they're dead?

It's been released, and as I can't say enough, all thanks to since I was having some major thinking blocks and almost went with a graph paper theme. Eww. Anyways, this one doesn't bring many structural changes, although the music was thoroughly (and somewhat messily) composed to fit the Chess theme! Actually, I'm thinking of putting this Go music up as a sort of "free online CD" that you could download if you want.

Oh, and for anyone who cares about structural differences, I cleaned up the library for this and made the system's set-up more organized and streamlined.

And I just realized that some people probably like these problems because I use the word "Fail" when an incorrect move is played. I also realized (at school) how someone is always saying "fail" at least every 90 seconds. I just hope you know I'm not using it like that, it's just a shorthand way to get across that you responded incorrectly. (And I hope you people finally come to your senses and realize that saying "fail" isn't really that funny when everyone is saying it constantly, it's actually becoming annoying. Come on guys, it used to be good for a laugh! )

Oh well whatever. For our Web class we have to make a portfolio in Flash, which should be a breez... wait. I just remembered my old Flash sites that I made, which are tucked safely away in the dark recesses of my gallery... OH WELL. Hopefully I've improved! So I'll post the portfolio when it's finished, which will be who-knows-when.

suggested a chess theme, so I'm going with that! Now, if only I had a solid idea of how the stones could look...

Since it's getting fairly close to problem 450 and school's started, I'm asking (once again) for any ideas you have for the next Go problem layout! And if no one says anything, I'll just have to make up something to work with. (So far I've got a Game Boy thing and possibly a transparent board on a background, which might not work out considering my talent in "elegant backgrounds.")

Oh, and has anyone heard of the web browser Shiira? Version 1.x was very attractive, despite it's lack of plug-in support on Intel Macs. I liked the browser enough to start using it as my default, but no Flash Player is no good. So I upgraded to version 2.x, which is not only very buggy, but doesn't have the same appearance. Now it looks somewhat dull! I'm hoping I could try to help out the creators though, since it is an open source project and I'd love to see Shiira become an actual option in the eyes of internet users.

Now I feel silly for saying anything, sheesh.
