This is a lino block print of Countess, Lady Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), who published the first computer program.* She worked together with Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine (the first - analogue! - computers), correcting his notes on how to calculate Bernoulli Numbers with the Analytical Engine. More importantly, she (a great communicator, daughter of mad, bad and dangerous to know Lord Byron) was able to understand and explain the workings of the analytical engine and the potential of computing machines. Her comments seem visionary to the modern reader. Babbage called her the Enchantress of Numbers and the Princess of Parallelograms.

The print is in gold, purple and turquoise water-based block printing ink on mauve Japanese gampi paper 15.25 inches x 10.5 inches.

(carving three equations is a new level of insanity for me)

First gathering of GirlGeeks Bergen, Norway on Ada Lovelace Day

Annual Ada Lovelace Day group photo featuring all the ladies at Adafruit!

I can't wait to wear them!

On September 24, 2014, Vanderbilt English professor Jay Clayton visited my first-year writing seminar to give a talk titled "Hacking the 19th Century," in which he discussed Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace and the intersection of science and the arts then and now.

Work in progress, a new painting of Miss never, defending the Electronic Frontier in her Five & Diamond regalia and antique Chinese crossbow.

Miss never and I will be working on this painting at the Edwardian World's Faire on Friday Jan 25th; come on down and see us!

www.edwardianball.com/2008.html

note: you can see at this point the engine in the background was a huge version of the piece of the Analytical Engine that is in the British Science Museum. Eventually I decided to go with the Difference Engine instead.

#tbt to when we visited #LEGOLAND and everything was ice-cream and rainbows!

Ada featured in last night's episode of 'Victoria', and was commemorated in Hucknall by this striking image, that appeared on a large billboard as you entered the town.

However, it has now disappeared due to a new road.

Last month I attended a three day Training of Trainers (ToT) course at the University of Glasgow. Run as an interactive workshop, the event was designed to help leaders of Wikipedia training events, such as edit-a-thons and other workshops to improve their delivery and organisation. Having participated and run several Wikipedia events in the past, I was keen to learn how do things better. Here’s a report on the workshop, with some bonus extra curricular Glasgow goodies thrown in for good measure. Thanks again Sara and Bhav at Wikimedia UK. duncan.hull.name/2019/12/10/glasgow/
