24/02/2010 (Day 4.83) - My Ada
Today the Rogues are invading Ada Lovelace Day, an international day of blogging which celebrates women in science and technology.
Since this photostream is essentially the nearest thing I have to a blog these days, I decided to do something here.
I could have done someone famous for my entry, but went closer to home. Very close. I chose my wife.
As many of you know, Catherine and I run our own IT training business. We do home-based training for people who are looking to get the most out of their computers; in some cases we are dealing with people who are afraid even to switch them on. Catherine is a positive,driving force behind the business, and her willingness and ability to impart computer knowledge has made a real difference in many of our customers' lives.
I should also add that she has a degree in zoology and botany, and for many years taught science at a girls school, helping forge a new generation of women in science and technology.
So for Ada Lovelace Day 2010 I give you - Catherine.
