michal's bio [0731.2002]

I seem to write one of these every year about this time, so here we go.

My name's Michal (the e's invisible), and I spend most of my time making the best hosting company in the universe even better. I'll be 26 in about a month, on 8/20/2002. Sometime in the next month or so, I'll be moving in with my friends Zach and Jon

I spent most of the past year working on my business. It's starting to pay off, so I'm hoping to have more time in the next year to spend with my friends. I'm also ready to take the time to finally get in shape, learn Spanish, learn to play the piano, and work on some personal projects.

One of those projects is manifestation.com, which will soon have a tool for helping people set and track their goals, while raising money to make the world a better place. I set that goal almost four years ago, so I'm pretty excited to finally be able to make it happen.

My other main project is a little thing I call montybot - an automated stock trading system, or a computerized day trader. This idea has fascinated me ever since I first got interested in stocks, and wound up losing money on every trade.

A third is an online educational game... But that'll probably come a lot later.

The tool I use for my programming projects is python, and you can see some of the modules I've created over at sixthdev.com.

I've set out to do these things several times in the past, but never seemed to make it happen. I'm a lot more confident now, though. Starting my hosting company has helped me become much more goal-oriented.

You can watch my progress if you want. I keep a journal on the front page of this site, so you can always see what I'm up to. :) Feel free to drop me a note if you like.

That's about it. Tune in next year for the next exciting episode of Michal's bio!
