    For the past couple of years I worked as a teacher in a small High School in Warsaw. It was a great experience, but recently I changed my job and now work as a programmer at NASK.
    I'm completely addicted to podcast - you can find some of my favorite ones listed on my personal website (http://ludwik.trammer.pl). While you are there, you'll also find some of the other things I enjoy, including books, movies and a brand of kefir.

  10. 18-24.11 - Emilian B (s4257)

    In my full time work I am a leader of developers team in company producing software for road adminstrators in Western Europe and sometime for our domestic adminsitrators. From time to time I become freelancer and create software by own hands according to customer`s wishes. Honestly dont love my work, there is a lot of more interesting things than seating all day oposite computer. After doing what I have to I prefer do things like snowboard, playing paintball, going to gym and sporadically fighting. I also like reading about the human psyche and about all the tricks which we can make for her.

    Hello all,

    I'm student at the PJWSTK on a second degree of Information Science with the Project Management specialisation. While attending non-stationary course of studies, I'm working professionally as a computer vision developer for polish, mid-size company. I've got slight experience as journalist after two years of working for IDG/PCWK company.

    As my personal life tends to be personal, I'll leave out this part of introduction.

    Hope we all have good time participating this course !

  15. 18-24.11 - Łukasz Mikołajczak

    Hi,
    I would like to introduce myself :) My name is Łukasz Mikołajczak and I have always been interested in IT so it was a reason why I have decided to study Computer Science. Now, I am doing the master degree in that field. I study at the weekends because during the week I work as an implementation specialist in one of medium size IT companies. At work I am trying to be a perfectionist, I pay attention to all the details and I like to be sure that everything is just right.
    According to my interests, I enjoy playing squash what is more, I am also interested in motorization and everything which is connected with it :)

    Anyway, I have to finish now. Hope to hear from you :)

  16. 2-8.12 - Albert Pęksyk

    Hi,
    my name is Albert and I'm 26. Over the past few years I worked i.a. in two cinemas and a bookstore, only because of my love to good books and movies. In search of answers to unanswered (as I later discovered) questions about human mind I began studying psychology at University of Warsaw. After three years I decided that I need to get a new standpoint, so I dropped out psychology and began my new journey across the uncharted seas of computer science (on a boat called PJWSTK).

  18. Hi, My name is Kate and like most of you I’m on a non-stationary studies in Computer Science, Project Management (yes, me too! :). Those are actually my second studies – previously I graduated Printing Technology on Warsaw University of Technology and post graduated studies in IT. I’m a pioneer, so my interest changes constantly. At the moment I’m intrigued by cyber security issues (yes, me too!), strategic planning and behavioral economics (don’t know yet what that means either). During the week I’m part of “client onboarding” and “new solutions” team in the biggest printing corporation in the wold, where I trie to be a connector between the IT and business worlds. In the meantime I help my boyfriend with photographic company leading (you may take a look at his sites: http://polaroidstudio.pl & https://panografik.pl – will arrange some discount for you if you wish! ;) and realise our “moving to New Zelenad before the last Hobbit comes out” plan. Hope to hear from you soon!

  20. 2-8.12

    Hello!
    My name is Kamil and I am walking (or crawling) on this world for 26 years.

    Honestly, describing myself is always a great challenge. How to present myself to strangers in a couple of words, as we build definition of ourselves through all our life..?

    Anyway: since three years I am working for an international corporation. It is being said that workers in such a place are "corpoman inside corpoland" devoted to the job - in a negative meaning. Despite appearances I really _love_ my job - flexible work time, great people with whom my job is a fun experience, everyday challenges which make me improving my skills.. and I do not have to stay at work at nights :)

    personally - I am rather calm person, love reading books (mostly fantasy and sf - it happens to me very often to start a book and finish it same day - or night - even if I have to get up in two hours), love good music (however average it sounds), love photography (sadly I have never found enough time to take it seriously - i.e. getting money with this activity), almost addicted to Magic the Gathering (Trading Card Game) - really like to play board games. Besides that, I also like some non-hardcore activities like riding a bike, cooking (sadly, it is not very often too).

    And how the guys in the internet says... "it is not even my final form"!

  21. Hi, I'm Mateusz and i am 23 years of age.
    I work full time for one of financial institutions as a transactional systems' analyst since July and I'm a part-time post-graduate IT student at PJWSTK (planning to further specialize in Project Management). My passions are sports (in almost any form or shape), video games, music and decent/good movies and a bit of motorsport. Like most of you mentioned, I, as well, quite cannot find much time to enjoy my hobbies, let alone develop new ones - comes with the territory, I guess.

    As for moderation period - I know I'm kind of late, checking out the blog on Sunday, and I'm okay with being assigned to any week available (as all the dates are already taken, if I'm not mistaken).

    Best regards,
    Mateusz

    Hi everyone!

    I'm pitching in late. I signed my contract with PJWSTK only a week ago and I'm getting up to speed with school errands now. I'm still OK with this week's deadline, but didn't have a chance to pick up a date to be a moderator. That said - you will read me next week :)

    As of who I am: I'm doing my Masters in Computer Science, specializing in artificial intelligence. I hope to write my thesis in topic of data mining. When I'm not at school, I work as a programmer for a small software house where we create applications for NGOs (which stands for non-governmental organizations, like foundations and associations). I love my current job - it makes me feel like writing code actually makes a difference in the world. In fact I love coding so much that as a hobby I teach others how to code.

    In my spare time, apart from teaching programming, I'm on a everlasting pursuit of becoming physically active. Despite my great efforts I never get to exercise daily, but I feel I'm getting there. And when not exercising, I watch TV series - a lot of them actually. I'm a big fan of medical dramas and American comedies with Parks and Recreation being my favourite.

    That's a little bit about me. It's nice to meet you all and have a great course :)
