Jeri Ellsworth: tech heroine
At the Forsk we talked a bit about our women tech heroes. Jeri Ellsworth, see picture, is clearly in my pantheon of heroes.
Taught herself everything. Had a DIY racecar career. Then she got into custom-built electronics, and designing chips. Well, she got very good at it. She built a simulated Commodore 64. And tells her lifestory in this longer video talk.
Here’s a nice photo gallery of Jeri’s home etching setup.
The Fatman and Circuit Girl is her video podcast. Slogan: Too smart to be cool, too cool to be a nerd. Welcome scientists!
Do you have women heroes in technology or science, give me a tip in the comments section.
7th Öresund JavaScript Meetup (and the next)
So that was the 7th meetup about JavaScript. We learnt stuff about extending Chrome, that WebKit browser. Mark Wubben taught us.
Thanks, Mark! You provided much more than a glorified walkthrough of the extant documentation, you gave us insight into how the workflow feels, and how a finished product can look.
That went well.
When one participant muttered “Anyone interested in… pizza?” we trudged throught the snow to Drottningtorget, around ten Open Source enthusiasts had gathered for the bi-weekly MOSIG social event. Yep, that’s short for Malmö Open Source Interest Group. Affectionately known as “Linux pizza”.
Next meetup date, in Copenhagen, is at 23′s headquarters in Vesterbro.
2009: Swedish Gov’t to help solar energy
Here is me, trying some auto-tran, to bring you some last-year’s news.
Regulation (2009:689) on state aid for solar cells
To contribute to the transformation of the energy and industrial development in the energy sector, the government decided in June to introduce a state support for the installation of all types of grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The support may be up to 60 percent of costs for project costs, labor and certain materials. For large enterprises, aid cover more than 55 percent of the cost. It is the investing in solar systems that can be supported and the application review by the provincial government in the county in which the system will be installed.
The regulation came into force on 1 July 2009.
