You're cute! If I wasn't driving my friend around, I might even have chatted.

Ehh, who am I kidding... Far too shy with new people...]]> Thu, 14 May 2009 09:08:35 -0400 http://estrip.org/elmwood/journals/index.php?u=theli&id=48665 http://estrip.org/elmwood/journals/index.php?u=theli&id=48615 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/91470-Unopened-Earthbound-Goes-For-1000-on-eBay]Mucho dinero[/link]

It is Ada Lovelace day.

The story of women in computing is pretty sad actually. In the early days, teams of female programmers worked on the systems of the time. This was during the war.

When the war ended, they were forcibly removed. Those that clung to their career weren't exactly treated with respect. One woman that excelled in spite of this is the late Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.

"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission"

She created the first compiler and was involved in the team behind the Univac I. I've always thought of her story as an amazing one.

Can you imagine how different the IT field would be if a small group of people didn't succeed in turning software development into a boys club? These women excelled at this work. All this prescribed gender role bullshit is absolutely unnecessary. It's a real shame.]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:25:57 -0400 http://estrip.org/elmwood/journals/index.php?u=theli&id=48178 http://estrip.org/elmwood/journals/index.php?u=theli&id=48102
