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/

Ada Lovelace is known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognise that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and to have published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the worlds first software engineer

Detail of 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 poet 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 blue, indigo and dark silver water-based block printing ink on cream coloured Japanese kozo paper 12.5 inches x 10.5 inches (31.8 cm x 26.7 cm). There are 4 prints in this second edition. The first edition was printed on plum coloured paper.
These are several drying lino block prints 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 prints are in gold, purple and turquoise water-based block printing ink on mauve Japanese gampi paper 15.25 inches x 10.5 inches.

Her comments seem visionary to the modern reader.
She is shown in front of my sketch of one of Babbage's drawings for gears within his machine. Also included are some equations for Bernoulli numbers.
The image of her is inspired by a couple of well-known engravings. This will end up as a lino block, so everything will be reversed, when ultimately I carve and print it.

The dress clearly steals the show, but what she says (and how she makes the audience recreate an early computer) makes for an extremely well crafted one woman show.
Why was the daughter of Lord Byron ignored by history for years? At least now she is starting to be recognised.
The dress contains 2,000 LED lights and is powered by 11 lithium batteries and a laptop (under the bustle... must all weigh a ton!)
Yikes - this one was a bit shakey! Fortunately I have the original post-its.
These are some of the results of a mass brainstorm held at OpenTech 2009 in search of living women who inspire us in the technology field.
Participants were asked to come up with names of women who they admired in teams and write them down on post-its, which were placed on the wall. Everyone was then given a strip of gold stars to use as "faves".
A big THANK YOU to everyone who got involved.
