Welcome!

This blog is about my development as a programmer, and about social issues to do with data, women and other discriminated-against groups in STEM and related fields. Note that I'm currently doing an assessed project for my degree, so if I state that something is related to that, please don't give me detailed solutions to any problems I may pose. General hints or things to read (that aren't step-by-step cookbooks) are fine - telling me how to write my program is strictly off-limits.

For some biographical details, see my profile. I've blogged pseudonomously for around 10 years; I feel the time is now right to start saying some things more publicly.

Please note: I enjoy debate, but I dislike trolls. Please do not feed the trolls.
