About

Hi!

I started this blog to document my foray into WordPress, bbPress, and the Hybrid theme framework. Oh, and Gallery 3. I do not write php, js, css, html, etc., for a living. I dabble. I like computers. So I try my hand at coding things. I’ve learned C, C++, C#, Java, ColdFusion, JS, CSS, HTML, PHP. I used to take care of the Graduate Student Government website at the University of Maryland. That one uses ColdFusion & FarCry.

Got a question for me? Contact me, or head to the forums!

Who am I?

My name is Tomek Kott. You pronounce my name sort of like “atomic,” just without the “a”. Try it, it’s fun! My full first name is Tomasz [1] and I was born in Lublin, Poland.

  • I am a sixth year graduate student studying physics at the University of Maryland, College Park.
  • I research valley dynamics, the Integer Quantum Hall Effect, and other electronic phenomena on 2D electron gasses on a specialized Si-(111) surface.
  • I’m not on Facebook. Here’s proof.[2]. I am now on Facebook. I gave in.
  • I’m not on Twitter. I find it pointless; it’s called email.
  • I am on LinkedIn. (I know, I’m wierd like that)
  • I like history, political science, and the big picture.
  • I graduated from Bucknell University in 2006.
  1. [1] Tomasz::Tomek like Thomas::Tom
  2. [2] Funny story, the reporter started out finding the people for this story through… you guessed it, Facebook!
