#OTD Olaus #Rudbeck, #Swedish #Botanist, died.
In his #FirstJob as a #Botany #Professor, he expected a full #Class, but no one showed & Olaus #Cried.
In Frederica Rowan's #Biography, she writes,
"Recovering from his #Momentary #Weakness, he [did] for #Botany what he had for #Anatomy.
He [created] a #Botanical #Garden & when his #Task was completed, #Knots of admiring #Visitors gathered in his garden & he would #Instill #Knowledge into them, even against their will"

Unexpected blast from the past listening to @shanselman interview Mekka Williams. She and I both used the SL-1 language in our first jobs out of college, and we both used it to program telecom equipment.
I was a Bell Northern Research from 1979 to 1983, programming the SL-1 private branch exchange (PBX). I remember debugging by setting breakpoints using a hardware debugging card with 16 red LEDs and 16 switches to specify the address.
