Subject: [TUHS] Happy birthday, Grace Hopper and J.F.Ossana!
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 12:56:29 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.1812101249470.52810@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace (and daughter of Lord Byron),
was born on this day in 1815; arguably the world's first computer
programmer and a highly independent woman, she saw the potential in
Charles Babbage's new-fangled invention.
J.F.Ossanna was given unto us on this day in 1928; a prolific programmer,
he not only had a hand in developing Unix but also gave us the ROFF
series.
Who'ld've thought that two computer greats would share the same birthday?
