Personal InformationA computer scientist, Polish, grew up in the Czech Republic, now living in Milton Keynes, UK. Please call me "Jack" even though I spell my name "Jacek".
My blog has more up-to-date information and other, you know, bloggy stuff, mostly on stuff I work on.
I have profiles at Facebook and Linked In.
WorkI'm a research assistant at the Knowledge Media Institute at the Open University (UK). My research interests are all around the Web: Semantic Web, Web services, Web architecture and Web science.
My publications — some papers and articles of mine, in PDF (page to be updated and improved).
(The icon comes from my earlier employer, Systinet, now HP.)
Hobbies and LinksA great hobby of mine is riding a motorcycle — see my bike and some of my older riding-related pictures.
Casual photography is a small hobby of mine, see my pics at flickr and some older assorted pictures here.
Before the Web took over, I used to read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy books. My favourites are Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams from the absurdity department, J.K.Rowling in the swords-and-magic fantasy area and Isaac Asimov, J.R.R.Tolkien from among the serious sci-fi authors. Plus I heartily recommend Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow.
Then there are movies (Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino being my favourite directors), and finally the web: the Wikipedia, a bunch of blogs, web comics (part I, part II) (the links open about 15 new windows) and Hyena (in Czech).
