    Perhaps each generation of scholars, at any level, is blessed by having better tools for learning but as with all improvement things never get easier because that which must be achieved (learned) also increases. I stagger to think how difficult learning via letter must be and maybe in a hundred years scholars will stagger to think how difficult it was to learn in the 20th and 21st centuries. Wonderful NZ ! My favourite landscape in the world of countries I have visited. Like a more accessible Switzerland with more variety.

    As a software developer since the late 80's, Lovelace has always been close to my heart. To perceive a problem, and find a solution to it, and then develop upon it, it's an approach that speaks to me. No, I don't make websites, I'm more involved in low-level stuff on the processor level, and translating runtime things to bridge programming languages. The mathematics with its roots in Turing (and Ada, at least in terms of implementation) is something that makes my blood flow. Anyway, I named one of my cats after Ada Lovelace, Ada. My other cat is named Curie after Marie Curie, but that's only because Cecilia (Payne Gaposchkin) didn't really translate well in cat-ish, sounding very hissy and hostile. There's so many great women historically, and I find them utterly uncelebrated.

    Linda Lovelace was mentioned in an episode of QI with Stephen Fry, where they talked about the first computer program, written on “punchcards” for looms. Apparently the new technology was too much for French textile weavers, and fearing loss of livelihood, they threw their wooden shoes into the looms to damage/destroy them. The shoes are called sabots… and this is where the word “sabotage” originated. The more you know.
