@radekmieThe best way of keeping track your achievements.
Below you can find a list of significant events in my “professional life”. Whether it’s a paper, an open source package, or a talk – it’s going to be here. At least as long as I find it significant in any way.
If you’d like to read a summarized version – check out the About section above. There you’ll find more details and a couple of additional links. And if you are looking for my posts, head straight to the Blog.
