@axwax thank you for these, some of them I know from other worlds including @helenleigh who I invited to keynote a conference once !
I should be using #hashtags more it would seem so here are some useful ones for me: i'm a #woman in #tech #technology and an adovocate for #womenintech yes that is #allwomen in #computing. I work in #robotics, #computervision and I #teach #infosec #informationsecurity I #program mostly in #python these days and like #opensource #linux (currently running #mint on desktops/laptops and stock #android on a #fairphone ). I also like #hiking #jogging #running #parkrun #painting #writing #reading
Just got an email with a free offer to celebrate 18 years on livejournal. Which got me thinking:
Usenet
Livejournal
Myspace
Personal blog
Facebook
LinkedIn
Twitter
Goodreads
Instagram
Strava
I had a snapchat, foursquare, tumblr, blogger, etc. too. I was on metafilter. I've spent a lot of time on the quit smoking forums on netdoctor, and on the weightwatchers boards, and on various closed systems (slacks and discords and ircs). There was a bit of icq.
...and now Mastodon
What I'll probably be tooting about, if you are wondering about whether to follow me: gender bias in tech, information security, students and teaching stuff, uk academia. I run a student conference for women BSc/MSc, I speak on diversity in tech, and I do coding workshops for kids. I like open source a lot and haven't run a windows machine through choice since the last century 🙂
Here's my tedx talk on the women in tech stuff: https://www.ted.com/talks/hannah_dee_girls_in_computing
