My name is Les and I live in New York
I am a chemical engineer (15 years) and computer programmer (20 years)
I love chess but only play it leisurely since I dont seem to have time to study the game.
I am an inventor and have 2 United States Patents. I am involved in an interesting study on Lupus. If anyone would like to chat about it leave me a message or email me vb4@prodigy.net
Process of developing a computer program to do process control automation
I am very involved with an international chess analysis research project called C.A.P. which is very exciting
A more detailed biography of myself and picture can be found at the C.A.P. site
Passed my upgrade certification exam. I now have my Database Administration certification for Oracle 8, 8i and 9i
I usually play chess late at night when I decide to take a break from programming.
For info on the C.A.P. project and for downloading data that C.A.P. has generated and biographies of some of the people involved in the project go to : http://cap.connx.com
