The first computer programmers - in 1946 - were women. They had to write the manuals themselves. They were pioneers in their field. Here you can see a Tedx Talk by Kathy Kleiman about these ENIAC women. Highly recommended: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zevt...

Taoiseach Micheál Martin will be coming back to Ireland from his USA visit with a very orange/brownish nose........
I've been rewatching episodes from the first season of tng. Fun.
The real meaning of MAGA #TrumpRussianAgent #Trumpisadickhead #getridofTrump
Trump is now telling everyone that the European Union was formed to screw the USA. That orange faced retard doesn't know recent history. It was the USA that, after the Second World War, urged European countries to work together and unite. #Trumpisadickhead
I've been using a Kobo ereader for years now. Very handy as I can buy books by Dutch or Flemish authors (in Dutch) from book shops in the Netherlands and start reading straight away. Kobo has a colour e-reader out now but the colours are very muted.

Saw this on Facebook. Too good not to share. #elonmusk #elonmuck #teslameme #swasticar #usa
Today is Ireland Reads Day. I'm reading an historical novel by Tom Hillenbrand called "De Koffiedief" (the coffee thief). The original is in German, I'm reading the Dutch translation. What are you reading? www.irelandreads.ie #reading #books #irelandreads #loveforreading #lovereading #lovebooks
Trump's stupidity knows no bounds. Russia is getting weaker They're running out of tanks, materials and soldiers. If the west keeps supporting the Ukraine, they soon will be in a better negotiating position. Trump only wants to make himself look good and Putin is loving it.

Too good not to share and it sums up Oompa Loompa Trump really well. Two classics now that show what he is and what he is like. #Trump
Storm Éowyn woke me up about an hour ago. It's really bad out there. Power is gone. Just hope there won't be any loss of life and not too much damage. This is a bad one. Stay safe, everyone. #stormèowyn #Ireland #èowyn
I was hoping someone would shoot the oompah loompa bastard during the inauguration, together with Elon Muck. Ah, well. America seems to do stupid even better than the impossible. #America #inauguration
Speed skating isn't a thing in Ireland. I'm very happy to be able to watch the European Championship sprint and all-round live via a Dutch TV service. Long live internet. #dutchess #speedskating #ice-skating
The snow around our house, the last few days here in Ireland is unusual and a bit like Donald Trump. It gets annoying very fast, is quite thick and difficult to get rid off. But if you wait long enough and don't give it any attention, it will dissapear by itself, but it will leave a mess. #trump
Trump's ignorance really knows no boundaries. He's now accusing the governor of California of keeping the water for tiny fish instead of using it to fight fires. Ignorant and pure evil and President of the USA in a week #trump #california
My boy Charlie. I love the way he can sleep. Makes me jealous. #cats
When you get up at 6 am to feed the cats and get ready for work, only to find out it's Sunday and not Monday. It's like getting a little present. Going back to bed with my book. One of the cats might join me in a while. #sundaybliss #weekendvibe
Snow today in County Limerick, Ireland. #Ireland #snowinireland
Sitting on the couch, chilling with our 3 cats, reading a book, and some piano music in the background. I wish life could be this good for everyone. #peace #thegoodlife #reading

Just saw on the Irish news that roundup will be allowed for another 10 years. Madness. #roundup #herbicides #environment
