Ken Iverson’s blackboard from his days at IPSA

From Peter Wooster at the group APL – A Programming Language at LinkedIn.com:

This blackboard was in Ken's office the '80s at IPSA. After that it was in Bob Bernecky's office and Tony Bailey's, I'm not sure if Benoit Paquin had if for a while or not. After the separation of Soliton, I inherited it and removed Tony's batman stickers and kept it in my office at Reuters until they eventually shut us down. The blackboard is on a wall in my studio and will remain there unless someone else wants it. It has plenty of chalk and a couple of erasers. It's still in excellent condition.

If you can come to Oakville and pick it up, it's yours.

Ferranti's girl for Ada Lovelace Day

Wednesday March 24, 2010 is Ada Lovelace Day. This means almost 1700 of us around the world made a pledge to write a blog post about a woman in science or technology.

You can see them all at Finding Ada

Or if you want to read about who I picked to write about from our array language community so straight to Ferranti's Girl for Ada Lovelace Day

And I'm collecting names of female array programmers. I've made it a game, but seriously appreciate you naming names: Women!
