A word from the editor
Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus (born 1980) - Short story: I am a geek, otaku, a net freelancer, Mensa member, Singularitarian, Magister Artium in economics (Akademia Ekonomiczna w Krakowie since April'04 (Top 10 in my year), one of Top 500 (or Top 1%) of most active Wikipedians. 243 to be exact (as of 27th April). Registered on Wiki on 10 Apr 2004 but I have been editing since December 2003 as an anon. On 26 January I was elected to the position of a Misplaced Pages administrator. Oh yes, I am a Pole so read on how to deal with Poles! :>
I love sharing my knowledge and the idea of telecommuting, so Wiki is a 'home quite close to home' for me, also illustrating the truth in saying if you find work you like, you will never work again. Working on Wiki gives me this great feeling of doing something good and useful *now* - anybody can access my work anytime the will, there are no delays in article publications, no restriction on who has enough money to pay for my work (hmmm, I can see a problem with this in the long run though... :>). I have now seen Misplaced Pages grow for over a year, and it is amazing. I am sure that in the near future Wiki will rival Google as the best tool on the web. And, of course, if it is, it should be on Wiki.
My interests concentrate around history (including counterfactual history), political sciences, communication, technological singularity, sociology, economics and finally, as a perhaps bit more trivial hobby, all things related to good science fiction. Oh, and games. I am a founding member of the Polish Ludology Association, after all :)
I have started PhD studies in October'04 in Poland (Akademia Ekonomiczna w Katowicach) in the areas of computer science and economics (specifically, user interface impact on society and vice versa), but I am now switching to studying the impact of changes in communication technology on evolution of political systems. After all, history of democracy has been my top interest for the past - oh, 4 years now. I will likely do some historical research as well, regarding Golden Freedoms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its impact on development of democracy worldwide. From August'05 I will be researching those subjects at the University of Pittsburgh. If for some bizarre reason you need to now more about me, just ask me.
Why Proconsul? Because of this poem. And Piotrus is a latinization, not a diminutive.
Interesting article list
Daily FA Reading:
Smash Hit is a 2014 rail-shooter video game developed and published by the Swedish indie game studio Mediocre. Through the game's twelve levels, the player takes a first-person perspective, shooting metal balls to destroy glass obstacles. The player can also shoot up to five balls at once by smashing a consecutive sequence of crystals and gather power-ups that are activated for a limited amount of time. The game also features a one-time in-game purchase that allows the player to start from any unlocked checkpoint. The game's development team consisted of Dennis Gustafsson, Henrik Johansson, and Douglas Holmquist. A virtual reality adaptation of the game was released for platforms in 2015 and 2018. Smash Hit received positive acclaim from reviewers, who praised its physics engine, graphics, music, and sound effects. CNET and Apple listed it as one of the best mobile games of 2014. Gustafsson and Holmquist later worked on Teardown after Mediocre closed in 2017. (Full article...)
