10 December 2010: Wikileaks, WL central
If you haven't done something already, you should. Learn about wikileaks and support it. This site is my favorite source of information about wikileaks: WLCentral.5 November 2010: Published a book, and EMC10 impressions
I came back from the EMC10 Mars Society conference and I must tell you, that it was very nice to meet other people who work on Mars colonization. Now I have a photo with Robert Zubrin. There is a short relation in polish from the conference. Also there is a short movie about Mars Society and space commerce prepared by one of our TV stations, you can find me at 1:20 in there.
Second thing is that just after I returned from the conference I was informed that my book about fibre reinforced concrete has been just published. Not space related, but that's what I do for living.
7 September 2010: Gdansk University of Technology distinction
After I received an award mentioned in note below (16 July 2010), my home university Gdansk University of Technology published a short article about me on the front page! See google English translation link: front page and article page, and polish link. And since this story won't last longer than a week on the front page, here's a screenshot:
And English screenshots (google translate, not perfect but quite convenient): front page and article.
26 July 2010: Welcome COSPAR 2010 visitors
I have uploaded a video (thanks to Konrad Mruk), the presentation, a poster and two abstracts, all that me and my wife have presented on the COSPAR 2010 conference. Please head on to Base on Mars, recent news section and have a look!16 July 2010: I received an award!
The Ministry of Science and Higher Education (check English wiki link) has awarded me a prize (untranslated link) for extraordinary scientific achievements. I am astounded by this turn of events, because I really wasn't expecting this. This places me in line with the best scientists in Poland, since only 32 people from whole country were awarded. Now I feel even more motivated to pursue scientific research, but this time without worrying about feeding my family. Update: the number of people awarded has grown to 85, thanks to additional funding obtained by the Ministry.7 April 2010: an interview with me
The interview is finished. If you are interested, please have a look!28 March 2010: an interview preparations and my publications update
Patrick Jaecques from Astro Event Group, a free internet Journal (Ostend, Belgium), asked me for an interview. It was a quite nice experience answering those questions. The interview is in the preparations right now and soon it will appear in Astro Even Group journal and also I will put it here, on my website.I have updated my list of publications too (in the menu on the left).

26 March 2007: Update
I have just added a link from Yade homepage pointing here, because this is my homepage. Unfortunately I have no time to work on my homepage, and it's almost completely in polish.I plan to translate it (and translate my MsC work about "Base on Mars" too) around the mid of 2007. Currently I'm doing a PhD about modelling fracture process in concrete with a lattice beam model.
In meantime, you can contact me by email:

Robie z tego doktorat. Jestem tym tak mocno zajety ze az nie mam czasu na irca czy listy dyskusyjne ;).Przy okazji wyszlo ze pisze we wspolpracy z instytutem INRIA w Grenoble program opensource, pod linuxa na licencji GPL, ktory bedzie pozwalal symulowac nie tylko beton i nie tylko przy pomocy metod dyskretnych. Zobacz jak chcesz. Jak skonczy sie moje ponad polroczne stypendium we Francji (tutaj pisze ten program) to zamierzam skonczyc tlumaczenie bazy na Marsie na angielski i zrobic porzadna strone itd... 23.wrzesien.2004

Baza na Marsie
I znowu jestem tak zajety dyplomem, ze nie mam czasu zrobic porzadnej strony domowej. Tym razem to na architekturze - projektuje baze na Marsie.18.luty.2003
Fraktale
Zamieściłem na serwerze film zoom-in do zbioru mandelbrota. Komputer liczył go tylko dwa dni (fractint), potem automatyczna obróbka w gimpie (miałem ok. 800 klatek, gimp mi wygenerował po dwie klatki pośrednie, więc film ma w sumie ok 2400 klatek i trwa ok. 2 minut). Film jest tutaj (Uwaga: format filmu to MPNG (animowany PNG), z tego co wiem to tylko mplayer go potrafi odkodowac). Na twardzielu czekaja jeszcze do zmontowania klatki z obliczen co sie liczyly 2 tygodnie. Ciekawe kiedy znajde czas zeby je zmontowac? Zapowiada sie calkiem dlugi film :) Przekodowalem ten film na format MPEG4, gorsza jakosc ale za to kodek popularniejszy. A ponizej w najgorszej jakosci - na youtube (koniecznie wybierz jakosc 480p):Aha, i wcale nie poswiecilem calego roku 2003 na robienie filmow o fraktalach :)
8.luty.2003
Wziąłem ślub i strasznie kocham swoją żonę Asię, niebawem więcej o tym ;-). Zeby bylo weselej, Asia robi doktorat z bazy na Marsie, tylko ze wiekszej niz ta moja :))
Zrobiłem kiedyś fotki wnętrza swojego kompa, i chciałem się pochwalić.
