Interests:

Livestock farming & breeding, playing the guitar, sport, computers, reading, and I have a passion for God and His creation. Professionally, I'm interested in the "larger picture" aspect of ecology and in ways of combining expert knowledge in different fields for optimum management of nature. Specific areas that interest me includes:

  • Behavioural ecology
  • Sustainable use and management of natural resources
  • Application of computers for information management in ecology
I'm also interested in all aspects of computer security, operating systems and programming languages. Operating systems and languages I have played and worked with:
  • DOS
  • MS Windows (3.1, 95, 98 SE, 2000, 2003 and XP)
  • Linux (Debian, SuSE, Ubuntu, Knoppix (RE), Yoper, PCLinuxOS, Mepis, Symphony, Fedora... currently Mepis is my favorite)
  • BeOS! One of my all-time favorites. (See the Haiku project)
  • Delphi (versions 1 - 5)
  • Assembler (PC and TINI)
  • C++ (and C)
  • TINI Java
  • Scheme
  • Python! I haven't done any real work in Python, but I like playing with it a lot. smiley
  • ...and of course HTML and CSS (although this web page might not be the best advertisement for that! wink)
