stormdogI did not know Elle Plato very well. She was very close to a few people I know, and I'd interacted with her a little bit on Facebook. I can only offer distant sympathy to those affected today by the news of her death.
I found a really wonderful piece that she wrote about her experiences as a woman working in IT, programming, and systems automation (not to mention other parts of her life) through the '90s and 2000s. It's fascinating, and makes me wish I'd been able to meet her in person, instead of just almost doing so once.

My thoughts and condolences to those who knew her. I'm sorry for your loss.
