Those plastic deer are still popular in Kona 10dec06
Didn't do much today. Which isn't unusual.
A friend reminded me that Dec 9 would have been Grace Hopper's 100th birthday. She became a programmer before I was born and she was still reporting for duty after I retired. Go read about her.
Admiral Hopper was a tiny woman. Barely 5 feet tall. And smoked Lucky Strikes. Think how long she would have lived it she didn't smoke!
Like most old Navy computer hacks - I have a Grace Hopper story. I recounted it when I happened on the Grace Hopper Park in Arlington in the summer of 2003. Go to the July 2003 entry .
