Prompt: Ada Lovelace Day

A/N: Written for the [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday[livejournal.com profile] sga_staturday prompt: Ada Lovelace Day (and celebrating the women of science). I read the Mercury 13 by Martha Ackwood when it came out. It was a real eye opener for me. I would encourage everyone to read it if they get the chance. All mistakes are mine--please feel free to point them out. It was either post unbeta'd or wait for amnesty. :-)

EDIT: *snort*  A couple of people have quickly pointed out that 'kibitz' and 'kibosh' are not the same thing--thanks guys for the correction!

Prompt: Week 20: Ada Lovelace Quote

This week is going to be crazy, so I had some time this evening, and wrote this. It's a bit of fluff, but hope it does honor not only to Ada Lovelace, but also to Admiral Grace Hopper that [livejournal.com profile] sharpes_hussy mentioned in her comment to the prompt thread.

We thought we'd do something a little different this week in honor of Ada Lovelace Day. A quote to inspire you!

"I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand about the many connections and relations which occur to me, how the matter in question was first thought of or arrived at, etc., etc."
-Ada Lovelace


You may have seen various call outs to the awesome techie women in fandom and our lives, but just in case you haven't, here's a little background: Ada Lovelace is widely held to have been the first computer programmer. Close friends with inventor Charle Babbage, he once described her as "that Enchantress who has thrown her magical spell around the most abstract of Sciences and has grasped it with a force which few masculine intellects could have exerted over it," or an another occasion, as "The Enchantress of Numbers".

More info on FindingAda.com.

NOTE: Don't forget, Week 23 is Amnesty week! So while we hope to see lots of stories/art/vids this week inspired by the quote above, if you an an epic idea that needs a bit more time, or want to revive a half written story for any of the previous 19 prompts, it's coming up soon.
