Before we start...
No doubt the hardest thing is to write some words about self, that make sense. You have to watch out, because it's really easy to write too many boasts, or to bore the reader with huge number of details. However, I should do it, especially on my home page.
General information
My name is Tomasz Jędrzejewski (pronounce hard: /tomash yeundzheyevsky/). I was born on 6 August 1988 in Leżajsk, which is a small town in the south-east Poland. Not too far from it lie Nisko (another small town) and Stalowa Wola (much bigger town, almost like a city). In the first one I spent most of my life, in the second one - I graduated from one of the best high schools in the region (Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Komisji Edukacji Narodowej). The school has very high standards of education. Just to say about one of its students, Tomasz Czajka, who won the international TopCoder Open 2003 programming competition. Currently, I moved to Cracov, where I'm waiting for the 1st year of IT studies on AGH University of Science and Technology.
In my life, I try to taste a bit of everything. There is a place for programming, linguistics, family, and sport. I don't mind the social and charity work. The friends tell me I'm a very creative person who should take part in them, so I do it. Sometimes because I feel it's necessary, sometimes because I feel they need me. But I don't think I'm the best. It's no problem for me to point some other people that could much more at my age. I just know, how to think and to promote myself (even if I don't want it :)).
Hobbys
The list of my hobbys:
- Computers and programming (mostly PHP and databases)
- Linguistics
- Cartography
- Writing
- Music and drawing
- Sports: riding a bike, swimming, running
I'm also a fan of railroads.
Foreign languages
I've never had problems with the languages. In 2004 I've noticed that the linguistics is really fascinating hobby and I started to read about different languages of the world. A year later, I bet with my friend that in 2017 I will be able to speak 8 languages. But today my native language is Polish. I can also speak English, German and Slovak. I plan to start learning French this year.
My linguistic hobby is definitely connected with conlanging (creating constructed languages). My main masterpiece is called Ferrinti lingein. It is spoken in my conworld, Yermenia, which I told above about.
Favourite film/music
The music I like comes from the seventeens. My favourite band is Boney M. It is widely known in Europe, but in America it has never reached the popularity. Another artist that I listen to is Jean Michel Jarre with his electronical music. The compositions he plays are very brilliant and amazing. You can feel like you are inside it during the listening.
Actually I don't watch too many films, but the greatest are, of course, known to me. I enjoy the comedies of Monty Python with their sense of humour. Many Polish like the local comedies from the time of People's Republic of Poland (PRL), which are laughing at absurds of living under USSR protection. So do I. They still have the climate of the previous age and are funny even today.
