Some personal data:
Miloslaw Smyk is a 25+ years old male, hopelessly addicted to computers.
He has just graduated from the Computer Science department of
Technical University of Szczecin.
His interests are numerous and include programming, evolution,
nanotechnology, cryonics,
skeptical thinking,
astronomy and
memetics among others. He is a happy owner of
Amiga 4000. Feel free to contact him for any reason, and if you want it to be
secret, his public PGP key may be of some use for you.
News
For a few months I've also been doing contract programming in C and assembly for
Magic Box, Inc.. If you are in a market
for REAL multimedia and/or advanced TV advertising systems, you
should pay them a visit or you'll be sorry for the rest of your life. :-)
Links to some of my projects that have been released to general public are
here:
- wfmhcybergfx_r3d.library - render in 24-bit directly to Real3D's view windows.
- asl.library v42+ - new, completely configurable ASL library.
- aMiPEG - quite fast MPEG video player (v1.1).
- Frogger - m68k/PPC MPEG-2 video player.
- WFMH JPEG loader - loader module for ImageFX - loads plain and progressive JPEGs.
- HexEdit - MUI custom class for displaying/editing a memory region.
- DeDe - memory editor for Delfina sound card.
- MiamiLog - REALLY simple tool to calculate phone costs from Miami log file.
- DSP5600x disassembler - portable DSP5600x disassembly library.
And these are sites every true Amigan should check at least daily:
My favourite things on the Web
I have set up a mirror of K. Eric Drexler's
excellent book on nanotechnology
- Engines of Creation. Thanks to Russell Whitaker
for letting me to. If you are at least remotely interested in what may be possible in not-so-distant future,
you won't be able to stop reading until you'll have finished it. Honest.
Another site undoubtedly worth visiting is Richard Dawkins home page
(you know, the guy who coined meme
idea and wrote many books about evolution, "The Selfish Gene" amid them),
maintained by John Catalano. All sorts of information here, including book
reviews, articles by and about Dawkins, up-to-a-minute news about recent
events, lectures and controversies. Plus loads of links to
sites carrying scientific and skeptical stuff, to widen your horizons even
more. If you still believe Adam and Eve are your ultimate predecessors,
this site is a therapy. ;-)
And in somewhat related vein, I recommend
"Life on Earth - flow of Energy
and Entropy", an essay by Marek Roland-Mieszkowski explaining in a great
detail why II Law of Thermodynamics is not violated by something we
traditionally call life. Even if you don't have problems with this
topic (you know, many people have ;-) ), you may still find a lot of
interesting information in it. Some math here too, but not heavy.
