[edit] Maias

I live in Australia, although I have spent many years of my life growing up, getting educated and working in Europe and in Eastern and South-East Asia. My occupational background includes journalism, publishing and database management. I am interested in wildlife and ecology, with a special focus on the SE Asian and Australasian regions. I am also interested in the history, people, dynamics, organisations and sociopathology of the biological sciences and conservation of the natural environment.

If you wish to ask or to tell me something, please do it on my talk page. Then put my talk page on your watchlist if you expect a reply as I will do so there. I prefer any such interchange to be in the one place for ease of following the dialogue.

Tip of the day...


Wikipedia-specific searching with Firefox

In Firefox, the search box has a little pull down menu to allow you to choose which search engine it uses. Several popular search engines come included, but not Wikipedia. However, Firefox provides a page on their website listing more search engines you can add to that menu, including Wikipedia's search. To add Wikipedia, simply go here and click on Wikipedia in the list provided, and you're done. To activate it, pull-down the menu at the search box and click on Wikipedia there. Now you have a second Wikipedia search box. Unlike the search box in Wikipedia's sidebar, which disappears off the screen when you scroll down to read a long page, the Firefox search box always remains on the screen, ready to assist. (Keep in mind, typing <Alt>-F also places the cursor in the Wikipedia search box.)
