This year I'm doubling down on what I really want to write, like the #WomenInTechBook for which I already did 23 interviews with women in tech jobs in 2024 and which I had to pause for other people's projects – like basically all of my own books except 2042 and the data privacy book. I still want to make the #Kickstarter campaign for it to pay the editors, one for the English and one for the German version. I hope to also revive some of the other things in my drawer. #Feminism

Guten Morgen vom Küchentisch. Heute viel administratives Zeug. Muss ja auch ab und an mal sein. Nebenbei laufen die Transkripte der Interviews für das #WomenInTechBook mit OpenWhisper auf meinem eigene Rechner. Zu irgendwas ist diese KI ja doch gut. ;D Es fühlt sich unglaublich gut an, dass ich mit diesem Buchprojekt endlich weiterkomme. =) Habt alle einen schönen Tag! #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

#WritersCoffeeClub 01 Feb — Shameless self-promotion. What writing project are you working on?
Currently I'm translating my novella 2042 (set after the war and just in the midst of climate crisis – but with a hopeful and positive ending!) into English. #Chaostopia2042
Also I have plottet two short stories which need writing down and should finish the plot for a novel in the coming week. And after that I'll FINALLY!1!!11! take up the #WomenInTechBook again. -
So, ich muss noch zwei Geschichten (Kurzgeschichte und Novella) entwerfen und das zweite Kapitel für das Handbuch zur KI-Verordnung muss auch noch aufgefüllt werden, da wünschte sich die Herausgeberin noch etwas zu zwei "benachbarten" Gesetzen rein. Und das #WomenInTechBook schreibt sich auch nicht von alleine, da bin ich grad bei ca 50% in der Auswertung des Fragebogens. Dann wollen wir mal. #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor
-
Nachdem ich aus gesundheitlichen Gründen meinen Produktionsplan umstellen und ein paar Projekte schieben musste, kann ich heute endlich damit anfangen, die Interviews für das #WomenInTechBook zu transkribieren. Zeit wird's! #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

*Lynn Conway* #LynnConway RIP 2024
...more info / story...
=======================Lynn developed "generalized dynamic instruction dispatch" for IBM in 1966.
2 years later she was kicked out, just after Robert Tomasulo published the "Tomasulo Algorithm" for out-of-order execution of floating point instructions, utilizing Lynn's work.
Everyone knows Tomasulo (and he did great work, mind you!), but no-one knows Lynn.
Later, in technical compsci, you may stumble upon highly integrated circuits, everyone there knows #VLSI but not the inventor, our dear Dr. Conway.
Her story, her struggle against IBM who took decades to apologize to her for her mistreatment. She transitioned in darker times and pioneered not "only" in compsci. She was what many would call "greater than life". She died early Jun 2024.
Today let's remember Lynn 🏳️⚧️

See also: Talk on Wikipedia: Out-of-order execution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Out-of-order_execution#Lynn_ConwayThe name of Conway is usually dropped and both concepts (register renaming etc. and multiple-issue) subsumed under one, effectively erasing Conway's work. If it isn't then multiple-issue is often erroneously attributed to Yale Patt.

Statusbericht zum #WomenInTechBook: Die Interviewphase ist beendet, ein oder zwei Nachzüglerinnen sind noch zu erwarten.
54 haben den Fragebogen ausgefüllt
23 haben mir ein Interview gegebenMehr Infos und der Sommer-Plan: https://www.viennawriter.net/blog/women-in-tech-statusbericht/

Guten Morgen vom Küchentisch. Gleich startet das letzte geplante Interview für das #WomenInTechBook. Momentan bin ich ca. 2 Wochen hinter dem Zeitplan, aber sehr glücklich über die vielen unterschiedlichen Lebensgeschichten von großartigen Frauen. =) Drei Frauen wollten mir noch ein Interview geben, aber wir haben bisher keinen gemeinsamen Termin gefunden. Vielleicht kommen also noch ein oder zwei Interviews nach. #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor
-
Grad wieder ein Interview für das #WomenInTechBook gehabt. Einfach nur wow. Wieder so eine krasse Lebensgeschichte, wieder so großartige Leistungen und wieder eine Frau die sagt, sie war ja nie klug genug, um wirklich was zu erreichen. Es ist spannend und zugleich herzzerreißend, wie viele Frauen dieses Selbstbild teilen.
-
Outcome des heutigen #UniF00-Samstags: Die beiden Stellen im Text, wo ich unsicher war, kamen bei den Mitstudierenden und der Dozentin besonders gut an. Yay! Und dann meinte letztere noch, ich solle doch mal ein ganzes Buch über gehackte Dinge schreiben. Und jetzt weiß ich, was ich wohl nach dem #WomenInTechBook machen werde ... ;D #BookOfHacks
-
Gleich startet das 16. Interview für das #WomenInTechBook. So viele wundervolle Frauen, mit denen ich die Freude und die Ehre habe, mich unterhalten zu dürfen. <3
Den Fragebogen haben aktuell 49 Frauen ausgefüllt. Wer mag, jetzt im Mai ist er noch offen. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn es noch ein paar mehr für die Statistik werden. Gerne auch über den deutschsprachigen Bereich hinaus weiterreichen.

Guten Morgen vom Küchentisch. Heute will ich den Stapel abzuarbeitender Dinge weiter verkleinern, angefangen bei einer Anfrage für ein Fernuni-Lernheft. Ein Termin in diesem Draußen steht an und heute Nachmittag und Abend die nächsten zwei Interview für's #WomenInTechBook und anschließend noch Schreibteamtreffen. Langweilig ist anders. ;D Habt alle einen schönen Tag! #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor
-
Gleich geht's los mit dem mittlerweile 14. Interview für das #WomenInTechBook! Bin schon sehr gespannt auf meine heutige Gesprächspartnerin. :) #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor
-
Gleich bin ich verabredet zum zwölften Interview für das #WomenInTechBook. So viele coole #Frauen, die sich bereiterklärt haben, mit mir über das Thema Frauen in Technikberufen (und angrenzenden Feldern) zu sprechen! <3 Wer nicht in einer Podcastfolge erscheinen mag, es sind auch anonyme Beiträge dabei, der Fragebogen ist ebenfalls anonym und noch offen. Bisher sind es 48 Teilnehmerinnen! Ihr seid großartig!!! <3

Weiter im Projekt #WomenInTechBook. Grad bastele ich weiter an den Rewards für #Kickstarter. Es sind noch einige Interviews, die ich aufzeichnen möchte und den Fragebogen haben aktuell 46 Frauen in technischen oder an die Technik angrenzenden Berufen ausgefüllt. Da geht noch was! Ich freu mich, wenn es am Ende tatsächlich 100 sind. Das wäre großartig!. Also gerne teilen und auch gerne an Frauen außerhalb des deutschsprachigen Bereichs weiterleiten. =)

Das nächste Interview für das #WomenInTechBook ist im Kasten. Der Grill funktioniert auch noch. Erfolgreicher Sonntag. ;) Und jetzt den Rest des Tages nur noch erfolgreich vom Arbeiten abhalten … 🙈 #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

Ein unerwartet erfolgreicher Tag geht zuende. Ich hatte ganz tolle Hilfe beim Reparieren einer Jeans, habe zwei spannende Interviews für das #WomenInTechBook aufgenommen, Postkarten geschrieben, habe mit @Hetti und @datacop an der #EH21 Challenge teilgenommen, nur den kleinsten Teil beigetragen aber jetzt trotzdem 4 Teile mehr für die Badge, hab das echt großartige Set von #BleepyToys gesehen und das Interrobang-Logo auf meinen Lieblingsfüller Lasern lassen. Jetzt bettreif, aber ganz happy. =)

@harkank @tante It took me about a month to write #NaUndDasBuch back in 2019. So it's feasible, of course depending on what you want to do. I plan to write the #WomenInTechBook within about 6 weeks this year after gathering the information I want.

Neuer Blogpost über den aktuellen Stand des #WomenInTechBook.
https://www.viennawriter.net/blog/buchprojekt-women-in-tech/
TL;DR: Ich lade gerade Frauen* ein, mit mir über die Themen vor einem Mikrofon zu reden. Parallel dazu gibt es einen Fragebogen, den ihr gerne großzügig an Frauen* in technischen Berufen verteilen dürft: https://waffles.cyber.cooking/apps/forms/s/sL43zZC9t38pNrkRTgEkA7PM

Wollt Ihr vom #WomenInTechBook ein signiertes Printbuch haben? Vllt sogar als special Hardcover-Ausgabe? (Im Handel gibt's dafür nachher nur Softcover.)
Das hier meine ich: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/viennawriter/womenintechbook/ Tragt Euch da auch gerne in die Prelaunch-Seite ein.

This is the cover of the #WomenInTechBook! "It's Never Just You" – a #nonfiction, part-#memoir book on how women come into tech jobs and what makes them stay. Hope, you like it. =)
The #Kickstarter prelaunch page is up. Hop on over and klick the button to get notified when the campaign launches.

Frickel mich weiter durch dieses #Kickstarter Setup für's #WomenInTechBook. Kann sich nur noch um Tage handeln, bis ich die Projektseite zusammen habe. *werkel* #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

Gestern Nacht hatte ich nach mehreren Stunden Titelrecherche endlich die zündende Idee, wie ich mein #WomenInTechBook nennen kann, ohne dass der Titel schon zigmal vergeben oder öde ist. =) Ich mach dann demnächst eine #CoverReveal-Party, wenn die #Kickstarter-Prelaunch-Seite live geht. ;) Wer benachrichtigt werden mag, ich hab hier eine eigene #Newsletter-Liste vorbereitet: https://www.zotzmann-koch.com/newsletter/

Okay, ich meine das ernst! ;D #WomenInTechBook #Kickstarter
Bis ich die Kampagne und das Buch soweit zusammen habe, könnt Ihr Euch schon hier in die Liste eintragen. Ich gebe aber auch hier im Fediverse Bescheid, wenn's soweit ist.

Oh, ich seh grad, dass ich soeben meine 100. Newsletter-Mail geschickt habe! 🙀 Und dann war das sowas Schnödes wie meine schreiberischen Vorhaben für 2024 und dass ich eine #Kickstarter Kampagne für das #WomenInTechBook machen will. Da hätte ich vielleicht was total Spannendes schreiben sollen! Sowas wie: Ich will dieses Jahr Kickstarter lernen! ;D Für das Projekt hab ich übrigens eine eigene Liste angelegt. #Autorenbusiness #writerslife #indieauthor #Newsletter

Jetzt wo ich auf dem Sofa angekommen bin, überlege ich, was ich 2024 alles schaffen möchte. Hui, Hirn, biste sicher, dass das alles in 365 Tage passt? Die ersten 4 sind doch schon weg! #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor #Authorbusiness #Creativebusiness #Selfpublishing #Hörbuch #WomenInTechBook #Kickstarter

Schamlose Eigenwerbung kurz vor Feierabend: Meine Zeit ist käuflich. Sagt Bescheid, wenn Ihr einen #Workshop mit mir buchen möchtet. Ich bin gut darin, technisch komplexe Themen für Normalmenschen verständlich zu machen, liebe #DigitaleSouveränität und #InternetLiteracy, arbeite zum #Fediverse und #SocialMedia, #KI-Folgen für unsere Gesellschaft und #WomenInTechBook.
