Picture of the day Nigeen Lake Nigeen Lake is a mildly eutrophic lake located in Srinagar, in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. It is sometimes considered to be a part of Dal Lake and is connected to it via a narrow strait. This panoramic photograph shows the west bank of Nigeen Lake, with houseboats lining the shore. Hari Parbat, a hill overlooking Srinagar, is visible to the left of centre, and the snow-capped Pir Panjal Range can be seen in the distance.Photograph credit: KennyOMG; edited by UnpetitproleX Archive – More featured pictures...

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. 349 to be exact (as of 27th April). Registered on Wiki on 10 Apr 2004 but I did few edits 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:

Josette Simon (born 1959 or 1960) is a British actor. She trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London and played the part of Dayna Mellanby in the third and fourth series of the science-fiction television series Blake's 7 from 1980 to 1981. She was the first black woman in a Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) play when she appeared in Salvation Now in 1982, and has been at the forefront of colour-blind casting, playing roles traditionally taken by white actors, including Maggie, a character who is thought to be based on Marilyn Monroe, in Arthur Miller's After the Fall in 1990. Simon's first leading role at the RSC, the first principal part filled by a black woman for the company, was as Rosaline, in Love's Labour's Lost in 1984. Simon has won the Evening Standard's Best Actress award, a Critics' Circle Theatre Award, Plays and Players Critic Awards, and two film festival awards. She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2000 for services to drama. (Full article...)
