-I have a long history in the development of relational databases for the storage of plant and animal locational and monitoring data. I am very familiar with the use of Visual Foxpro, although I also program in a variety of other languages.
-In 1993 published the book "[http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/724590 Management of Endangered Plants]" through CSIRO, excapsulating 5-years research on the monitoring and management of over 200 rare or threatened plant species in Victorian National Parks.<br>
-In recent times I have moved from a totally Windows-based operating system to Ubuntu. Apart from some small legacy programs, written in Visual Foxpro (VFP), all core programs have been replaced by FOSS. When necessary, I run VFP in Windows XP within a Virtual Machine.
