Famous Women in Computer Science

I recently read a University of Bristol (UK) web page about women behind important advancements in Computer Science: "Famous Women in Computer Science". I don't know the University of Bristol's selection criteria (other than "women" and "Computer Science") but their list seems too short. Last week, I sent email to Sun's Women in Engineering to ask, for curiosity's sake, "Who would you add to this list?"

Below is the original list, the names added by the Sun women, plus some references. The list is uneven and I am sure there are many more who should be added but here is what I have so far...

Geek Heaven - HSC Electronic Supply

HSC Electronic Supply of Santa Clara, California is geek heaven. The better-known Fry's Electronics is a pale shadow in comparison (Fry's sells steam irons and manila folders as well as motherboards). According to the New York Times in their 4 February 2009 article "A Haven for Spare Parts Lives On in Silicon Valley", by Ashlee Vance:

"For close to 50 years, Halted has supplied the do-it-yourself electronics enthusiasts so common in Silicon Valley with just about anything they could imagine. Like the many electronics stores once populating the area, Halted helped turn entrepreneurs’ inklings into huge success stories. These days, however, Halted caters more to hobbyists than titans of industry because much of the fundamental computing manufacturing has moved to Asia... Apple’s co-founders, Steven P. Jobs and Stephen Wozniak, shopped at Halted, hunting down parts for their first products."

My husband, John Plocher and I were at HSC the other day looking for parts for his HO-scale model train layout. If you like putting together your own electronics, you will be happy at Halted.

Sculptural Agave

Agave is one of my favorite plants. I am growing an agave hedge along the side of our driveway; in a few years, it will be taller than I am. The stiff and thorny strap-like leaves arrange themselves like a living sculpture. Weeding around agave is painful (I use very long tongs). Some photos of my agave just after a light rain:

Cactus Fence

This is an update on my blog entry "Gardening Around the Homeless" dated 10 April 2006. We live on the bank of the Guadalupe River in Willow Glen, California. In 2006, I started to create an informal cactus fence to deter homeless transients from passing through or camping on our river bank. I am even more motivated to continue this project by two big river bank fires recently caused by homeless campers just upstream of our property. I have planted both Echinopsis and Opuntia (prickly pear), plus some Yucca for height; they are all growing well.

Sun Labs Comics

Here in the Sun Labs area of the Menlo Park Campus is a coffee bar bulletin board which has been accumulating comics for years. Some are cut or torn out of papers or magazines or comic-a-day calendars, others are printouts. Most are either from Dilbert, XKCD, or Doctor Fun. Since XKCD is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License, the original comics can be included in this blog. Old Dilbert cartoons are harder to search for and are very restricted in how they can be reproduced. Doctor Fun is no longer published but there is a good Dr.Fun's Cartoon Search page.

One of my favorite postings is the list of Merged Book Contest Winners, including:

"Green Eggs and Hamlet" -
Would you kill him in his bed? Thrust a dagger through his head? I would not, could not, kill the King. I could not do that evil thing. I would not wed this girl, you see. Now get her to a nunnery.
"Rikki-Kon-Tiki-Tavi"-
Thor Heyerdahl recounts his attempt to prove Rudyard Kipling's theory that the mongoose first came to India on a raft from Polynesia.
"Paradise Lost in Space"-
Satan, Moloch, and Belial are sentenced to spend eternity in a flying saucer with a goofy robot, an evil scientist, and two annoying children.

The most melancholy cartoon is by Sipress from the 3/23/2009 New Yorker, showing the head of a company speaking to a large group of employees gathered in his office: "We're still the same great company we've always been, only we've ceased to exist." One of the funniest is a chart comparing How the HR department reads your resume vs. How a programmer reads your resume. (I haven't been able to tell where this comes from, but I found copies all over the net.) My addition to this board was a page from The New Yorker (9/21/2009) with a story by Paul Simms called "Attention, People of Earth".

Below is a sample of what some very educated geeks think is funny.

Trick or Treat

The new Willow Glen Lions Club was one of many organizations providing volunteer crossing guards for the Trick-or-Treat Trail sponsored by the Willow Glen Business Association on Lincoln Avenue. Thousands of little kids walked the trail, collecting candy and treats from the local businesses. Since Halloween was on Saturday this year, children went to school in costume the day before. The Trick-or-Treat Trail was on Friday, timed so that kids could go right after school. There were many dogs in costume too because of the special contest for them.

On Halloween itself, John and I had dinner with some friends in Palo Alto and then made the rounds with their kids. One Palo Alto house had a very elaborate witch's cave, another had an Area 51 scene, complete with spacecraft on the roof, jeep on the lawn, and creepy alien experiments. We saw the house that dresses its concrete goose for all holidays and admired her witch's costume. Rumor had it that Steve Jobs' house had the most elaborate decorations but the kids were tired so we didn't go see.

Fan Pages on Facebook

I have recently been experimenting with Facebook Fan Pages. This is a Facebook web page not for an individual or a membership group but rather in support of a cause or organization. The instructions imply that these pages are often used for celebrities, bands or businesses. It seems to me to be a good way to provide pointers and basic information without too much structure.

I have created two fan pages:

SEED Engineering Mentoring Program. This has 37 fans so far. I added links to the new Sun Labs technical report "Sun Mentoring: 1996-2009" and to Katysblog and welcome ideas of what else fits.

Young at Heart, Children's Worship Service for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church (Saratoga, California). This has 8 fans so far. Some of the photos I took for that page:

I am still working out how best to set up a Facebook Fan Page, playing with the options and reading through tutorials, like How to: Create a Facebook Fan Page and 5 Elements of a Successful Facebook Fan Page and Facebook Group vs Facebook Fan Page: What’s Better?. My biggest problem so far is that Facebook's Search is good for people but not so much for not-people (group, cause, business, organization names). The people I usually ask for advice on new tools say they have never created a fan page either. So, I am now the expert (scary thought)! Still working on it...

Andy's Pet Shop

After we adopted our two cockatiels from Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue, we started hearing about Andy's Pet Shop (1280 The Alameda, San Jose, CA 95126, 408-297-0840)... how wonderful it is, how they are a 100% Pet Rescue shop, and about their current financial problems. Andy's adopts out birds through Mickaboo. Their web site says: "...all the pets in the shop come from a shelter, a non-profit rescue group, or are surrendered for rehoming due to foreclosure, illness, etc."

A few days ago, my son Paul and I went to check out Andy's. It is indeed a delightful place for animal lovers. We bought bird food and had fun visiting the exotic birds, puppies, kittens, mice, rabbits, turtles, and other critters looking for a home. A few days later, we went back because Paul and I had talked so much about Andy's that my husband John wanted to see for himself. My favorite at Andy's is Mango, the toucan who has a long narrow forked tongue and big blue feet. If you go, be aware that the big macaws are loud and very chatty.

After the RIF notice, before you leave

Family Update

In light of Sun's current circumstances, here is an update of what I think is my most popular blog entry: "After the RIF notice, before you leave" (15 January 2009).

My husband, John Plocher, was laid off from Sun in November 2008 and (despite many interviews) is still looking for work. If anyone is looking to hire a senior software architect with extensive open source experience, please contact John!

This has been a wild year for our family. A few weeks after I wrote my "After the RIF notice.." blog entry, our son Paul ended up in emergency brain surgery. Paul recovered from that but still has constant terrible headaches. After finishing his Junior year at the hospital school, Paul is happy to be back in his regular High School for his Senior year. He plans to go to college next year. Having John off work during this time of medical adventures has been sortof a blessing.

Background

During the last year, we have found a good many things we wished we had thought to do before John was laid off. Additional items on this list were generously suggested to me from people who read my original 15 January blog entry. I eventually realized that official company sources are limited in what they can tell people. So, this unofficial list, while just based on limited observations and experience, turns out to have been of unique value to a variety of people. RIF stands for "Reduction in Force", also known as a lay off or restructuring.

Here are my opinions of some good actions to consider after the termination notice but before you leave Sun and lose your SunWeb access (and some actions to consider after). Some of these actions may only be appropriate for Sun staff in California since circumstances may differ from state-to-state, and country-to-country. Some actions - like joining LinkedIn - are good ideas whether you are staying or leaving. Usual disclaimers apply. Your mileage may vary. May contain nuts.

First, if you have to leave Sun involuntarily, please accept my appreciation for your work. After 25 years of working here, I know that Sun is a great company. Even if I never knew or worked with you, I thank you for your contribution and I am sorry you have been laid off. Check out "A Tribute to Sun Microsystems" and remember your good times.

What to do immediately

Before your SunWeb access shuts down, print out copies of key records:
- Current and last year paycheck history
- Company training history
- Stock option history and status
- Health benefit elections
- Vacation balance
- Past annual performance review documents
Many of these records will just go away and be unavailable by any means soon after your last day in the office. You may need your training history for a future certification, and you will certainly need your vacation balance to apply for unemployment. This is your one and only chance to get copies.
Immediately locate all personal internet identities (personal accounts, groups, billing, etc.) that you have communicating with your @sun.com email address, and change them to your personal email address. It is easy to set up a gmail account where you can continue to manage your billpay, website subscriptions and email lists after your Sun account goes away. Moving accounts will take time and those organizations may continue to send updates and confirmations to you @sun.com for days or even weeks. Start this move soon!
Your Sun home directory will go away very shortly after your last office day. If you have personal email in your Sun home directory, move it or copy it to a home server or your personal laptop before your Sun home directory disappears. Gmail has a way to upload old messages from other email accounts. Don't copy anything that belongs to Sun.
If you have not already done so, use your Employee Giving matching grant for the current year. If you do not have a SunWeb account (and you will not), you cannot take advantage of this benefit even if you are laid off long before the end of the calendar year.
Create a blogs.sun.com account or use your existing account to post a brief and professional going away message including at least your LinkedIn reference. Your blogs.sun.com postings stay available after you are gone.
Change your Sun voice mail outgoing message with a new professionally phrased reference to your home phone or other non-Sun phone number.

What to do later

Resources which may help and actions to consider later:

Sun provides some very good benefits to RIFed staff. Use any coaching services offered as part of your package (such as the excellent Right Management service). Let the service review your resume before you send it out. Join their networking groups.
Think through your health, dental, vision, and life insurance choices and application timelines. Read your RIF package carefully. If the staff member who is laid off is the spouse of a continuing Sun staff member, talk with Human Resources (SunDial) soon about when and how you can initiate a "Qualifying Life Event Change" to provide insurance coverage to the RIFed spouse.
File for Unemployment Insurance (UI) immediately. In most states there is at least a one week waiting period and some states may have more. In California, you can apply for Unemployment Insurance from the day of your notification (while you may still have months yet to receive Sun paychecks). If you are asked by the California Employment Development Department, do not call money Sun provides you after the 60-day WARN notification period "severance". It is accurate to call it "payment to forestall legal action".
More about the 60 days of WARN pay: The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. I am told that while WARN is a type of "in lieu of" pay, WARN should NOT disqualify you from receiving UI benefits. For even more about this, read EDD's Total and Partial Unemployment TPU 460.37.
Here is Sun's address and phone number which you will need for the EDD paperwork - from Sun's 2008 Annual Report:
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
4150 Network Circle
Santa Clara, CA 95054
(650) 960-1300
In the San Francisco Bay Area, there is a networking and lunch group called CSix where job hunters share ideas and leads. Similar formal or informal groups probably exist elsewhere.
Review and update your resume. Create one or more cover letter templates. Review and confirm your references. (You need to know that Sun and other companies have a policy against giving job references.) Brush up on your interview skills.
Buy a current-year copy of the book What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard Nelson Bolles. This book is available in many languages (French, Korean, Russian, Turkish...). Also check out the resources on Dick Bolles' web site: JobHuntersBible.Com
Join LinkedIn - a social networking web site for professionals who want to extend their contacts. Follow LinkedIn's advice to create your complete profile. Be diligent in linking to your former Sun coworkers so that you don't lose each other once you are no longer @sun.com. Use LinkedIn to recommend people you think highly of and also ask them to recommend you. There are several LinkedIn Sun Alumni groups, including SUNAlumni. Sun Engineering SEED mentoring program alumni can join the SEED LinkedIn group.
Join the Sun Microsystems Alumni Association "The network is the people"
Consider other social networking sites such as Facebook which has several Sun Alumni groups, including: The Sun Microsystems Alumni Group, Sun Alumni on fb, and others. Facebook also has a "SEED Engineering Mentoring Program" Fan Page. Plaxo is another good networking, address book site.
Participate in Sun Alumni Blogs
Make your own business cards so that you can easily tell contacts your new email and phone. John and I like the designs at Overnight Prints.
Make doctor, dentist, and other health care appointments soon, so you are seen while you are still insured. Renew prescriptions that are close to refills. The U.S. COBRA continuation health insurance coverage isn't always the same as the coverage you had before.
Consider creating a special job seeking email address at yahoo.com or gmail.com. Make it professional, not cute.
A job searching and recruitment web site which some people have recommended is http://www.dice.com/ - "career website for technology and engineering professionals"
A job searching web site which some people have recommended is http://www.indeed.com/ "to search job sites, newspapers, associations and company career pages"

Keep active and keep networking. Volunteer while looking for work. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area and need a good cause, you are welcome to join John and me in helping inner city San Jose kids in the computer club at SMUM.

Don't lose touch with Sun people you care about. As John says, there are only really 100 people in the Silicon Valley, everyone else is just there to create traffic jams.

Willow Glen Halloween

Halloween decorations are getting more elaborate every year here in Willow Glen, California. There are at least six full graveyard scenes in front yards within a few blocks of my house. Some are put together with purchased headstones, ghosts, zombies, spiders, bones and webs but others are homemade and very clever. Each scene has a day and a night aspect:

Glass Pumpkins

Glass pumpkins have become a common home decoration at this time of year. They come in even more sizes and colors than real pumpkins. I have a small group I bought a few years ago which live next to my front door from September through Thanksgiving (after which they are replaced by poinsettia plants for Christmas).

My son Paul's High School sells pumpkins made by David Camner and his glass students - "The Paly Glass Team" - each year to raise funds for their art program. Since my kids no longer seem interested in carving real pumpkins to make Jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, I bought three Paly art glass pumpkins to decorate my Thanksgiving table this year. One is a long purple eggplant-like shape, the other two are traditional shapes but unusual colors. Paul helped me pick them out.

YouTube Video Slideshows, Shop for a Cause

This is an update to my October 12, 2009 blog on "Making YouTube Video Slideshows". My husband John Plocher just published his second video about Santa Maria Urban Ministry (SMUM), a charity for which we volunteer in inner city San Jose, California. John again used the lovely flute music from Adam Sun's Reflections CD as the background. You can now see the new video El Ministerio Urbano de Santa Maria (SMUM).

We will be showing this video at our display table tomorrow (17 October) at Macy's Valley Fair (2801 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose) while selling "Shop for a Cause" tickets to benefit SMUM. Some of the after school program kids at SMUM:

A Company for Big Hearts

In my 1 May 2009 blog, I wrote "Sun is a company for people with big hearts."

I thought about that today when I heard the end of a story which made me even more proud of the people with whom I have the honor to work. A week ago, one of the Software Directors sent out email to Sun's Menlo Park campus telling about one of our janitorial staff who had suffered a tragedy and needed immediate help. Her young son had just died by violence and she had no money to pay for his funeral. Her janitorial co-worker had asked for donations.

Since then, we learned from the Director who was helping to raise money that:

7 October:

13 October::

Such a sad circumstance cannot be said to have a happy ending but it could have been much worse without the support of the Sun community. I was not involved except by giving a small donation but (with permission) I wanted to share this story. Makes me proud.

First Big Rain in the Bay Area

The San Francisco Bay Area is enjoying its first big rain in about six months. We had one or two light sprinkles this summer but other than that, it has been very dry. KQED radio said this morning at 7:30 am there were 50 major traffic accidents on the highways. I was driving my son to school on Highway 280 this morning, going 65 miles per hour in heavy rain in the diamond lane (for commuters with two or more passengers), when three cars in turn came up right behind me to flash their lights so that they could speed ahead. Traffic was light, so they soon drove around my apparently too-slow self. We all forget how to drive in the rain during the summer.

My husband John spent yesterday at home putting everything away that wandered outside during the dry spell: the pillow on the deckchair, the hammock, the painting scaffold, stuff moved onto the driveway while working on a project in the storage area, etc. He and our neighbor Felix also quickly finished the overhang roof over the storage shelves at the back of the garage. Unfortunately, one of my prickly pear cactus and the English walnut tree on the river bank had grown enthusiastically into that space, so much yelping and whacking of plants were part of the project.

Afternoon update -

Making YouTube Video Slideshows

Following our daughter Jessica's excellent example, my husband John Plocher has started to make YouTube videos. Since 2008, Jessica has been posting videos as part of her "P4" or Poetry and Prose Performances Project "Bringing Great Literature to YouTube". You can see her Background Info for instructions on how to do this.

John found out that this is harder than it seems when he created his SMUM Slideshow September 2009. Both the text and photos came out blurry when uploaded - which they were not when the video was made. The videos are helpful in both public relations and fundraising for the SMUM charity in inner city San Jose, California. While making the video, we were delighted to reconnect with Adam Sun (former owner of Szechwan Cafe on California Avenue in Palo Alto), who gave permission to use his lovely "Coincidence" flute music from his Reflections CD in the video. We also found out during testing that our pet cockatiels love flute music.

The blurry video started John on an investigation of how Apple - iMovie works with YouTube, which soon lead to a family upgrade to Snow Leopard (Mac OS X) software, which lead to buying new copies of stuff we were running on the down-rev version which does not work on Snow Leopard... Several weeks later, John is now working on his second video about El Ministerio Urbano de Santa Maria (or Santa Maria Urban Ministry, SMUM). John and I are on the SMUM Board so we tried out a draft video at last week's meeting (they liked it). He is working on a final version to be shown at the Diocesan Convention 2009 (Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real) later this month in Salinas, California.

My contribution to this project is taking most of the photos which end up in the slideshow videos. I have been taking photos of specific SMUM subjects recently to fill in the gaps - pictures of ABC Playtime, the Board and regular volunteers, older kids other than Jose and Samantha and Stephanie (who all love to be in pictures and are very cute), the food sorting and distribution areas, action shots, etc.

Some recent images:
