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.
