Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging to draw attention to women excelling in technology.
Women’s contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognised. We want you to tell the world about these unsung heroines. Entrepreneurs, innovators, sysadmins, programmers, designers, games developers, hardware experts, tech journalists, tech consultants. The list of tech-related careers is endless.

To take part
All you need to do is sign the pledge, pick your tech heroine and then publish your blog post any time on Tuesday 24th March 2009. It doesn’t matter how new or old your blog is, what gender you are, what language you blog in, or what you normally blog about – everyone is invited.
And it doesn’t matter what medium you choose – blogs, videoblogs, podcasts are all fine. We’ve even got someone writing a newspaper column! The key thing is to take part. And if you’re going to be away on March 24th, feel free to write your post in advance and set your blogging system to publish it that day.

I’ve read about Ada’s life and back in the middle 80’s I considered even learning the Ada language
It was the time when I considered that I could/should spent some time programming.
I dropped my ambition as it became evident that programming required to much discipline for my standards.
do you know she was the first programmer =)
she was really really smart
