Lots of photos

I was experiencing some technical difficulties with this site over the past few weeks (WordPress kept barfing on plug-ins and I couldn’t get into the admin panel to post, and Gallery kept barfing on pictures uploaded from my camera, which were too big for Gallery to process) but everything has been resolved. Hooray!

I’ve got many catch-up posts to make, but in the meanwhile, please check out these new photo galleries…

Photos from last week’s Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2006.
While at GHC, I went surfing! (Check another SuperViva goal off my life list!)
Computing pioneers gathered to honor the site of the Eckert Mauchly Computer Corporation in Philadelphia.
And going back a few months, photos from Ben Franklin’s 300th Birthday.
