Fortunately or not but my profession is my hobby too and I spend my spare time studying new technologies and polishing my knowledge. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and I participate in activities of local users group, from time to time I do presentations on JUG monhly meetings (more on that on "work" page).

I do not play computer games but I do play with computers. Just for fun I decided to have Microsoft free home and I achieved that goal. We have couple computers at home and they run Linux (SuSe), no dual boot, only one OS ( more ... ). This "game" is interesting and helpful when I do big projects at work with Solaris, HP-Unix and even Mainframes.

Me and my family like travels, backpacking, kayaking and rafting and use all occasions for visiting new places. Because of tight schedule it is difficult to make long trips, but we do not give up!

We do not waste our time watching TV, so we have time to do different things:

• play tennis;
• ride bikes;
• read books;
• do various things with our children;
• take short and long trips ( preferably backpacking ones);

There is a little quote from C2 site:

Once someone does stop watching television a number of interesting things happen:

• Some people's lunchtime conversation stops making sense
• Some people can't imagine what you do with yourself during non-TV time
• Some people can't understand how come you still know what's happening in the world
• Some people will be very impressed that you've stopped
• Some people will think that you are (dangerously) eccentric
