Jarosław Dobrzański’s technical blog
After a couple of years in Kainos I’ve decided to change my job. Starting from November 1st, I’ve been working for Intel Corporation in a team that develops Intel Upgrade Service (please refer to that link to get more information on that platform).
In short, a lot of new techniques, technologies, tools, information. It sounds appealing and challenging though 
Anyway, wish me luck!
P.S. I’ve updated my CV, if you like.
After some time I’ve updated my CV (in English and Polish). In short, this is what has happened in the meantime:

Time went fast since my declaration. I didn’t have much time and willigness to study but I gained them recently and finally did it: from today morning I’m a Sun Certified Java Programmer. The score: 94%.
If you’re planning to take it too, I wish you luck.
It was almost a year ago when I graduated from Gdansk University of Technology, major Distributed Applications and Internet Systems. The title of my Master’s Thesis was “Social Semantic Information Sources for eLearning”. All in all, I forgot to present the thesis… So, here it goes
.
You can also download the thesis from Library@DERI.Galway. Apart from that, you can find there more papers of mine on Library@DERI.Galway.
I’ve updated my CV:see English or Polish version.
Appart from that, I’ve updated my LinkedIn profile.
It’s very up to date now. Feel free to read it if you’re interested
I’ve just changed the engine for my blog from Wordpress 2.3 to Wordpress 2.5.
The change is not visible for the reader but there’s a lot going on in the dashboard, starting with the layout, dashboard widgets, multiple file upload, etc… To get the full list of the changes, please look at the official Wordpress blog.
A few days ago I made a few major changes on my blog:
The engine change went OK. Once I updated the files, there was a imprefections in querying database, but clicking the suggested link on wp-admin page solved them all.
Currently, when I have some free time I browse plugins and themes – still can find something better/new. So far, I’ve installed the following plugins and I’m happy with them (the descriptions used there come from the home pages of that plugins):
If you can recommend other plugins, don’t hesitate to do that – just describe them in a comment to that post. Cheers!
I use two online social services: LinkedIn (en) and GoldenLine (pl). My activities there mostly include adding people I know or work with to my connection lists. I think it’s a good idea to keep such list of friends; you never know, when you need to contact somebody you knew in the past. Also, one beautiful day, you may get a contact from a head-hunter 
Recently, I’ve updated my profiles on both those services. You can view them:

It was almost two months ago when I wrote the last post… Nevertheless quite a number of things happened to me during that time:
All in all, from now on, the main theme of that blog will be different – there will be definitely less about the Semantic Web and eLearning since I do not have much time for it (remember – I got employed). I plan to write more about programming issues and life in general. We will see what happens next
Greetings from Ireland!
It’s the second time I went to Galway, Ireland. Again the Green Island welcommed us with rain…
Again, I work as a researcher, Java programmer in Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), Galway, Ireland. The main topic of my research is how to adopt Social Semantic Information Sources (SSIS) to e-Learning. Actually, this is the title of my Master’s Thesis given by DERI (though I study at Gdansk University of Technology, major Distributed Applications and Internet Systems).
SSIS are semantic blogs, smenatic wikis, social semantic digital libraries. The general idea of SSIS is that they allow users to collaborate and share knowledge. Thus, great many relevant information can be harvested from them and used in learning course composition. The main problem is, how to present the collected data… Yet, these are heterogeneous environments. Semantic Web gives many help with that. By introducing semantic annotations of the data and some ontologies, information can be mapped to a common data model. This model, then, can be used in a Learning Management System as some extra information to a lesson. And there is a place for Didaskon, the e-Learning project I take part in. But, this is the subject of future discussion…
Software engineer at Intel Corporation.
