Welcome, traveller, to the Wikipedian Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus user page
(Note: Please do not edit this page. Direct all comments to my User talk page.)
We have a beautiful day of
Thursday, 2 June Licences
Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus (born 1980) - Short story: I am a net freelancer, Magister Artium in economics (Akademia Ekonomiczna w Krakowie , one of Top 500 (or Top 1%) of active Wikipedians. 383 to be exact (as of 9th March). 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 Wikipedia administrator.
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* - 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... :>).
My interests concentrate around history (including counterfactual history), political sciences, communication, technological singularity, sociology, economics and all things related to good science fiction.
I have started PhD studies in October in Poland in the areas of computer science and economics, but I hope I'll be able to move on one day to impact of changes in communication technology on evolution of political systems). In case you are looking for PhD studends, do let me know :>
