And then, as these things invariably do, I’m off on a little Internet explore to Sydney Padua’s website and his her webcomic The Adventures Of Lovelace and Babbage. What started as a quick “this is nice, have a look” style 5 minute post turns into half an hour of discovering a nice new webcomic to follow.
To give you an idea of what I’m on about, here’s a page from “Ada Lovelace: The Origin!” by Sydney Padua. Very nice stuff indeed:
