Ada Lovelace Day post 2013 - Sophie Wilson
My post this year is about someone who I'd not heard of until I started my current job, but whose work was a vital part of the computers I used for most of my school years - the BBC Micro, which we used at junior school, and the Acorn Archimedes, which we used at senior school for the first four years I was there.

Kit search for Empire took me three trips to charity shops: one with freddiefraggles to Burleigh Street, one with loopymushroom to Burleigh Street, and one on my own that went along Burleigh Street and all the way up and down Mill Road. (There are so many charity shops in ( Read more... ) -
Current progress on Lifting in a DRESS (March 2013)
Lifting: Stalled a bit due to costochondritis flareup (signs of this: my sternum hurts when pressed and for a little while after, also I randomly can't breathe well or am dizzy due to breathing shallowly due to rib-muscle pain - before anyone worries, I got an emergency GP appointment, my heart is fine, the problem seems to be musculoskeletal and I ( Read more... ) -
PSF resolution on Python conference Codes of Conduct
Python Software Foundation moves to require that Python conferences have a Code of Conduct if they want grant money from the PSF for running the conference.
