Quote of the Day (from my today info on the lower right of my page).
A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for. Grace Murray Hopper
I never knew she said that. She’s this wonderfully crazy Admiral in the Navy, had a lot to do with computing. She passed away in 1992 and I know I saw her on Letterman a time or two. She was great with analogies (which I love) when talking about technology. I remember seeing her on some show talking about the speed of computers and explaining it quite well with spaghetti and pepper.
The other thing that she’s attributed with (which I’m more certain she actually said) is:
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
She’s got her own entry in TV Tomb and I think there is a big computing conference with her name in the title.
