I completed one of my web pages. Feel free to take a look at:

Felix, the US Patent office rejects 90% of all applications the first go around. My own experience with them is that this is largely undeserved. They basically force you to retain legal services. I personally called my examiner (a big "no no" once you assign power of attorney) and I questioned him thoroughly. I spent 100 hours on my application, and his "102 rejection" was clearly way off mark. He basically admitted to me that he was advised to reject the application and see how we (me+attorney) would respond. Well, I gave him an earful, and I mentioned who I would contact at the press and arrange for a nice interview for him! Amazingly, the SECOND revised application was put through rather quickly.

After 18 months of work, receiving the actual patent letters (as they are called) was a bit of a anticlimax, but I found a way to celebrate. The real party will be this summer, and anyone who wants to make a pilgrimage to Philadelphia is invited!

Assunto: about these newfangled pieces here...
The Archbishop is fairly formidable in knight/bishop situations. He's able to change color as a bishop with each knight move, and wherever he goes as a bishop, he threatens to move as a knight.

But as formidable as he is, the Chancellor is absolutely awesome. He is able to zip around like a rook, and land on sqares from which he immediately issues proclamations of "fork!" in 2,3,4,5 or even 6 locations, which a Queen can do as well, but not on the squares that the Chancellor does: his forks are like the knights and rooks combined. /Fx/
