James Robertson has been posting recently about women in technology, which got me to thinking about it again.
One possibility is that it's discrimination, or that women are unwilling to enter a field that is dominated by men even if there isn't other discrimination. However, I don't believe that offers much of an explanation. While geekiness in general has a masculine feel to it, I believe this is descriptive, not prescriptive. Simply, the tendencies that make a person well suited to computer science are tendencies that are primarily found in men. The priorities, interests, skills, and inclination of women simply don't point in those same directions.
One could say that few women probably have those tendencies which would be best for accountancy either, and yet there are many women accountants -- I would counter that men aren't particularly inclined towards interest in that area either. You don't become an accountant because of a deep passion (at least, I don't think so... a passion for accountancy seems a little sad), you become one because you are sufficiently adept at the necessary skills, and because someone will pay you to do it.
The same could be true of computer science -- there are women who are sufficiently adept with the necessary skills, and someone will pay you to do it. When that is the only requirements, there tend to be more women. But when there are people who do have a passion, those people tend not to be women. There are subfields of IT where people do have a real passion, and there are much less women in those fields. I think programming is one such subfield of IT.
I don't want to make this post too long, so I'll end it here and continue another day.
I suppose I come from pretty much a feminist position, but I suspect it has more to do with what the woman in question has felt as an acceptable and inviting passion throughout their life.
At a recent conference (Africa Source [my web log entries about it]), we had a lively discussion about gender issues in technology with not only a few real live girl geeks, but also someone whose real life work is dealing with gender issues in technology. Obviously, she's also coming from a feminist position, but her belief is that it has more to do with availability and (social/family) acceptability of opportunities to grow in the technical area.
The issue of role models was another issue which most people there accepted as a major inhibiting factor in the acceptance of something as a passion; you're less likely to invest time and energy into something when you can't see yourself as the end result, which is something which role models provide.
And finally, an inviting community and work place is necessary.
I brought this together with my experience of race/culture issues in technology in South Africa, where we're trying to build a base of technically-excelling individuals from the races which have not had that opportunity before. Self-acceptance, social acceptance, work environment, and role models seem to be the key areas when the opportunity does present itself.
This is less of an issue outside of Africa (I'm told) and similarly the gender issue is less pronounced in certain areas, such as the Scandinavian countries (or so I'm told).
The argument from the other side really seems to be that girls have less of an inherent predisposition to this sort of work, or they're not tough enough to survive in the sometimes hot-headed and sexist IT community or workplace.
The feminist response is that the former may or may not be valid, but it's unprovable while the latter is in place. Unless there's a safe and inviting environment for these girls to find themselves, you can't say they don't exist.
A lot of IT office environments are very unhealthy places to work. Very competitive, emphasis on "stars" rather than well functioning teams, long hours culture, dysfunctional personality traits accepted and in many cases nurtured.
I don't think it's just women that can be put off working in IT, a lot of men are not willing to put up with it either.
Hopefully some more modern approaches like XP, which focus on communication, teams and sensible working practices (regular hours, limited overtime) will help encourage more people to consider IT as a career.

Once upon a time (I can speak of the 1970s), computer programming was an unglamorous, low paying job. There were programming jobs at the time which just barely paid more than the US minimum legal wage. Many universities did not yet have computer science departments.
There were many more women computer programmers back then. My first was working for the local school department (while still in high school), 2 of the 5 programmers were women.
My second job was working for a then major software development firm doing hardcore realtime systems on minicomputers, 5 of the 8 programmers in our office were female.
Women started disappearing from the field during the early 80s, at roughly the time programming became a well paying and popular career option. The new computer science departments were predominately populated by male professors and students, as was the emerging hacker culture that led to the development of the PC.

Sends a reset command to the Serial Wombat chip. The calling function should wait 500mS before sending additional commands.
| void SerialWombat::jumpToBoot | ( | ) |
Jump to Bootloader and wait for a UART download of new firmware.
This function causes a reset of the Serial Wombat chip and causes it to remain in the bootloader until a power-cycle occurs. This allows loading new firmware via a UART connection to the bottom two pins (DIP pins 4 (RX) and 5(TX)) on the SW4A/SW4B. When jumping to boot the TX pin will go high. All other communication or functional pins will become inputs (i.e. PWMS, etc will stop).
| void SerialWombat::pinMode | ( | uint8_t | pin, |
| uint8_t | mode | ||
| ) |
Set a pin to INPUT or OUTPUT.
This method matches the Arduino Digital io pinMode command It should only be used on pins that have not been configured to a more sophisticated (e.g. debounce or servo) pin mode.
| pin | The Serial Wombat pin to set |
| mode | Valid values are INPUT or OUTPUT as defined by arduino. Do not use SW_INPUT, SW_HIGH or SW_LOW here, as these have different meanings |

| bool | pullDown, | ||
| bool | openDrain | ||
| ) |
Set a pin to INPUT or OUTPUT, with options for pull Ups and open Drain settings.
| pin | The Serial Wombat pin to set |
| mode | Valid values are INPUT, OUTPUT or INPUT_PULLUP as defined by arduino. Do not use SW_INPUT, SW_HIGH or SW_LOW here, as these have different meanings |
| pullDown | If True, a weak pull down will be enabled on this pin (No effect on SW4A/SW4B) |
| openDrain | If True, output becomes openDrain output rather than push / pull |
| bool SerialWombat::queryVersion | ( | ) |
Send a version request to the Serial Wombat chip.
This function queries the Serial Wombat chip for its model and version and stores the result in the public members model and fwVersion as zero terminated strings. Returns true if the response is likely a proper version response and false otherwise.
| uint32_t SerialWombat::readFlashAddress | ( | uint32_t | address | ) |
Read Address from Flash based on 32 bit address.
Most Arduino users should not need this command.
This command can be used to read flash locations within the Serial Wombat Chip

| uint32_t SerialWombat::readFramesExecuted | ( | ) |
Get the number of 1mS frames that have been executed since Serial Wombat chip reset.
This value should be roughly equal to the mS since reset. It will vary based on the Serial Wombat chip's internal oscillator variation, and may run slow if Overflow frames are occuring.
| uint16_t SerialWombat::readOverflowFrames | ( | ) |
Get the number of times an overflow Frame has occured.
This value increments each time the Serial Wombat firmware determines it is time to start a new 1 mS frame, but the previous frame is still executing. Indicates processor loading over 100% of real-time. Overflows back to 0 when incremented from 65535.
| uint16_t SerialWombat::readPublicData | ( | uint8_t | pin | ) |

| pin | The pin (or special meaning value) for which to retreive data |
| uint8_t SerialWombat::readRamAddress | ( | uint16_t | address | ) |
Read Address from RAM based on 16 bit address.
Most Arduino users should not need this command.
This command can be used to read variables and registers within the Serial Wombat Chip Note that reading registers may have unintended side effects. See the microcontroller datasheet for details.
Note that Note that the PIC16F15214 used in the SW4A and SW4B chips is a Microchip Enhanced Mid-Range chip with both a banked RAM area and a Linear RAM area at an offset address. See the datasheet for details. It's wierd to people who are unfamilliar with it. The same location can have two different addresses.
Addresses are not validated to be available in a given chip's address range.

Kanye West Reveals Details of His Nebuchadnezzar Opera
by Trent FitzgeraldKanye West has a big project to share with the world.
According to a press release issued Thursday afternoon (Nov. 21), the rapper-producer will present an opera titled Nebuchadnezzar at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Sunday (Nov. 24). The operatic production, which marks Yeezy's first, is set in the 6th century B.C. and tells "the biblical story from the Book of Daniel of the Babylonian King who transitions from wicked, imperious, self-declared ruler to a true believer who finds salvation in his faith."
Directed by Italian contemporary performance artist Vanessa Beecroft, Nebuchadnezzar will feature music by ‘Ye’s Sunday Service gospel group, as well as Peter Collins & Infinities Song.
"West conceived of this opera as an expression of his commitment to both his faith and ever-expanding musical palette," reads the press release. "Nebuchadnezzar brings together elements from different worlds, including opera, fine art, modern dance, and gospel music, to create an innovative performance structure. West’s sound is the bridge between these artforms."
Tickets for the event are still available.
This news comes after a strip club has asked Kanye to bring his Sunday Service experience to their venue. Today, Sapphire Gentlemen's Club in New York City extended an invitation to the Jesus Is King rapper to bring his Sunday Service to their club. In a tweet that included an attached statement from Sapphire's VP Andrew Zarian, he explained why he wanted Kanye to visited them.
"We have extended an offer to @kanyewest to deliver his faith-filled concert in a new venue, to a new audience of Gentlemen’s Club entertainers, service staff & more," it reads. "We’d love to open the doors to our 39th street location in NYC & have him & his choir grace us with their presence."
There's no word if Kanye accepted their invitation.
Check out the lavish invite to Kanye West's Nebuchadnezzar opera below.

The reference system¶
As we can see in Fig. [fig:figure1], the angle \(\chi\) is measured from \(X\) to \(Y\), and \(\theta\) is measured from \(Z\) to \(\Omega\). We can choose the angle \(\chi\) in order to simplify the equations. If we choose \(\chi= 0\), then \(\Omega\) is between \(Z\) and \(X\). This configuration only happens when \(X\) is radial and points towards the disk center (DC). However, if we choose \(\chi= 180\), then \(\Omega\) is between \(Z\) and \(-X\). This configuration only happens when \(X\) is radial and points away from the disk center (DC). In the rigth panel we see where is \(\Omega\) if we choose the value of \(\chi\).
The consecuences of choosing one option are: the reference system itself and the equations to find all the posible solutions.
Example 1¶
We have the following data from our observation and we choose \(\chi=\)180d:
- Position [arcsec]: \(x=-300.0\); \(y=-200.0\) & Q\(>\)0: N-S
We can calculate the angle from the equator:
alpha = np.arctan(y/x)*180./(np.pi) = 33.7d
Then we can calculate the heliocentric angle:
theta = np.arcsin(np.sqrt(x**2.+y**2.)/960.)*180/np.pi = 22.1d
Now we can calculate \(\gamma\) (must be measured from X to Y, anticlockwise). In Fig. [fig:example1] (right) you have two solutions: the purple and the blue one:
Gamma(purple) = 360-(90+33.7)=236.3d or Gamma(blue) =(90-33.7) = 56.3
Q\(>\)0 is a line, not a direction. Gamma is defined [0,180º] (look the Hazel GUI) so in principle you can choose the direction of Q\(>\)0 which makes Gamma inside the range. In order to check the result, you can execute the 3D plot to visualize the result (Fig. [fig:example1]).
Hazel reference system of the first example [fig:example1]
Then, the angles for this observation are:
theta_OBS = 22.1d
chi_OBS = 180.0d
Gamma_OBS =(90-33.7) = 56.3
Example 2¶
We have the same observation but we choose \(\chi=\)0d. Now, \(\gamma\) is again measured from \(X\), and it is the same as before (Fig. [fig:example2]).
Gamma(blue) =(90-33.7) = 56.3
Hazel reference system of the second example [fig:example2]
Then, the angles for this observation are:
theta_OBS = 22.1d
chi_OBS = 0.0d
Gamma_OBS =(90-33.7) = 56.3

Seeing as there were a few questions on Morning Glory seeds, and seeing As I *have* tried them, I thought I'd pass along some tips I've garnered on consuming them, as well as a description of the high.
Earlier this year, I downloaded the 'Natutal-High' FAQ. The description of Morning Glory seeds, as well as earlier discussion about them on the net (last year some people described their experiences with them) prompted me to take them. (I've never tried LSD, and the FAQ said that the seeds constained LSA, some sort of chemical cousin of LSD. This added further impetus to my desire to try them.)
Based on my own empirical testing of the commonly available MG seeds, the ones labeled 'Heavenly Blue' are the ones you want. The other seed types seemed to have little physchoative affect. I purchased the seeds from two different companies Northrop King (NK), where the seed origin is Holland, and Olds, which grows their seed here in my hometown (Madison WI.). The easiest time to find MG seeds (or most other commonly sold seeds) is in the Spring, when they are sold at supermarkets, hardware stores, etc.
Play it safe. Before you consume the seeds, wash them. This is not to prevent nausea, because even untreated MG seeds are probably going to make you feel sick. The LSA, and the chemicals that make you feel sick are all there *because* the plant does not want you eating its seeds. Washing them removes any dirt and fungacides which may be on the seeds - things you probably don't want to eat.
I used a strainer (the kind used for noodles) to clean the seeds. Place all the seeds in the strainer and run luke warm water over them for a minute or two. You might want to use a little dishwashing liquid too. After washing them, its time to consume them. The FAQ said LSA is water soluble, so ideally you would grind up the seeds (a pepper grinder works well) and soak them in water. Soak the seeds for an hour or two. Strain the water through a coffee filter and drink the blackish-green water. Alas, in my own experience (described below) the effect of the seeds is much stronger if you actually drink the ground up seeds with the water.
I've tried MG seeds on three occasions, all within a two week period a about a month ago. The first time a friend and I consumed five 1.5 gram packs between us. We ground up the seeds and put them in tea bags, which we soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes. After a few hours we both concluded that they had done little for us. We both just felt a liitle 'weird' for a few hours.
Being the stubborn person that I am (I am a programmer after all ;-) ) I was determined to see if there was anything to MG seeds. On the second occasion I consumed six 1.2 ounce packs of seeds. On this occasion I ground up the seeds and put soaked them in some water for about an hour. I then drank the entire mess. In anticipation of feeling sick, I hopped on my bicycle (it was a cold spring night) and rode around the city. I had been hoping that the bike riding would keep my mind off any sickness.
I started to feel sick after about half an hour. It started to get real bad (the nausea) after 45 minutes. I had brought some pot with me just in case, and after smoking a little almost all the nausea went away. Unfortunatley, I was now high, so I could't really observe the MG seeds as they came on :-). After about an hour I still felt nothing (besides being high) and concluded prematurely that the seeds had done nothing. However, As I was riding home, I began to feel *real* weird. My field of view seemed to expand, and the entire sky looked enourmous. The bike ride home was fantastic. I really can't explain the high -- I now understand why people say you can't describe LSD to people who have never used it. The affects wore off after about four hours, but I had a lot of trouble sleeping that night.
On the third occasion I was with my brother. This time I tried NINE 1.5 gram packs of ONLY heavenly blue seeds. Note that on the other two times I had mixed different types of seeds. My brother tried only other varieties of seeds. Again I ground up the seeds, soaked them in some water, and drank the entire mix. This was to be the start of a huge, often unenjoyable trip for me. My brother (who *has* tried acid) said that he felt very little (that's why I recommend the Heavenly Blue seeds), but that what he did feel was like the end of an acid trip.
About an hour after eating the seeds, I began to feel sick. (we ate the seeds at about eight at night). I would feel sick on and off during the entire trip until about six in the morning, when I finally blew chunks. This did not, however, end the trip.
The affects of the high/trip came on very gradually, over some hours. After staying with my brother for a few hours, I decided to try to bike home. This was something of a mistake. Riding home was difficult, as everything seemed strange and alien. I ride my bike a lot (I don't own a car) yet even my bike seemed foreign -- I had trouble telling where my body ended and the bike began. I also started experiencing visual hallucinations -- I saw red and green lights and my vision seemed soft and fuzzy. As cars passed by me, their headlights seemed to shine through the back of my head. I also started to get *real* paranoid and self-conscious.
When I got to my apartment, I saw that my roommate was still up. I was feeling so weird and paranoid that I felt I couldn't deal with talking to him.  That part was truly awfull. I began to worry that that the seeds had been treated with Mercury and that I had permanently lost my mind. After what seemed like days (actually only about an hour) I returned to my apartment, where to my relief I found my roommate had gone to bed. Feeling I might throwup, I went to the bathroom. In the mirror I noticed that my pupils were fully dialated, and I spent several hours looking at myself in the mirror. Near the end of this time the skin all over my body seemed to be moving and crawling as I looked at it. This scared me pretty bad, so I went to my room to try to sleep. (I still don't know whether or not my skin was actually crawling, but it sure looked like it.)
I couldn't sleep - my bed, the room, everything was wrong. Also, I kept seeing these strange lights - not really in the room, but more inside myself. Some of them were pretty ornate and seemed to be moving. This may sound cool, but it was *extremely* unpleasant. At that time I would have given anything to stop the experience and roll over and go to bed. Around 6:00 in the morning I finally hurled, but I still felt weird.  Not having slept at all, I went into work still feeling pretty shook up, but I made it through the day.
Overall it was a pretty nasty experience. I guess you'd say I had a bad trip. On the plus side, I did have a few interesting thoughts. The old philosophical mind/body problem seemed to become a non-problem. At one point while I was looking at myself in the mirror, and struggling with my nausea, the sick feeling suddenly became entirely a mental phenomena. I came to see my body as a mental thing, merely an extension or lower part of my entire being. This was something I actually experienced, not just an intellectual realization. So rather than having ones mind a product of the body/brain it seemed just the opposite to me.
Also, I found myself thinking about the quote from (I think) Socrates which goes something something like 'All I know is that I know nothing'. I know this may sound sophomoric, but the truth of this statement dumb- founded me. All our knowledge of 'things' or phenomena is ultimately relative, referring to other things or phenomena. Science is just a more rigorous way of classifying/observing/predicting things.  This seemed a fundamental truth, no matter how advanced we ever get technologically. The world seemed like a very crazy, random, chaotic place - like a giant zoo, with everybody living in it for completely different reasons. These thoughts really depressed me at the time.
Phew. Well, this has gotten long. In conclusion, I don't know if I'll ever try MG seeds again. The length of my last experience with them, plus the nausea and depression outweighed the positive aspects of it. If MG seeds are at all like LSD (which I haven't tried), its probably easier just to stick to acid. However, if you do try them, I'd recommend taking no more than six 1.5 gram packs of seeds.
