I am currently a PhD student with the School of Computer Science and
Engineering, University of New South
Wales, Sydney, Australia. I am also a part-time System Administrator
for the School and an active contributor to
various open source software
projects. My other interests include photography, electronics, physics
and philosophy. I speak English, Polish and a bit of German.
I was born Kamil Maciej Konarski on the 18th of June 1981, in Wadowice,
Poland (the same town where Pope John Paul II was born). Later my
mother remarried an Australian, and in 1986 we emigrated to Australia.
I spent the greater part of my schooling at Knox Grammar School on Sydney's
North Shore, and in my final year represented Australia at the International Physics
Olympiad. After brief flirts with Electrical Engineering and
Medicine, I completed a Computer Engineering degree at UNSW (with first
class honours), and proceeded to commence my PhD.

jhead and jpegtran.
