Introduction

To start a blog a person should introduce him self: Born in the sleepy town of Tavira in the shores of the Gilão river in the Algarve, southern most region of Portugal, learned Agriculture in the Algarve University and then moved to Israel to Ben-Gurion University for 4 years to make a Ph.D. in application of Geostatistics and Principal Component Analysis in Organic Agriculture.

In the middle of the master and Ph.D I started to work in GIS and since I am a big linux fan/user it was it was natural for me to adopt GRASS as my GIS platform and to work in R as my mathematical “calculator”

In this next year I'll be working in a project where the Portuguese team will have to make a webgis system meaning 1 year of grass and mapserver !!

This blog will help me to keep track of some of my work and it will also be a place for me to write my notes, because my memory is very crapy and I can only recall 1% of all the grass commands and HOWTOs
