:thumbsup:

I wonder if anyone still uses Ada as a design language.  Time was it was supposed to be THE software language to dominate the world.

Amongst fiascoes various, an encounter with Tilley the rather adorable dog who was just about to play with the A21 traffic.

I think you'll find that Ada Lovelace a bit similarly to Linda, was a bit of a good time as had by all girl. 

Bright thing that she was (first computer programmer and all that) she had a sad life blighted by ill health and died young.  As IIRC did Linda.

And you try telling that to the youth of today . . . .


Anyone else experienced the frustration of dealing with a microfiche where the arse that did the capture had the paper original back to front and then destroyed it without checking?
