Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the Jaquard loom in 1804 , which was a chain of punch cards to automate complex weaving patterns
Ada and Bababage used the basics of that and the rest is history as they say
I was taken to a great exhibition about her a few years ago

He reminds me of my Dad , just before he started to climb out of windows at 3 am in his PJs and no shoes to go to work, at that point we realised we needed professional help
But Dad still had the odd flash of lucidity

My grandmother's advice was to get an education and a career, so I wouldn't be stuck in a marriage
She was the youngest of 13 and also told me not to have more than one child
