...and the irony of it is, i would totally have stuff up here for this glorious occasion, if i weren't so darn busy being a woman in engineering. =/ (< grumble >stupid Visual Studio generated test code made by Microsoft goons< / grumble >)
Anyway! I shall eventually have the next thing up, which is a pattern for knitted gears, and i'm sure would be very much Lovelace-approved (handy in a pinch if the Difference Engine needs spares).
Until then, i refer all and sundry to the best biography of Ada out on the net today:
Lovelace -- The Origin!
Yep. :]
Ladies in math, science, and engineering -- i salute you!
Visual Studio -- i salute you not! x.x
