“Some guy” is John Graham-Cumming (CTO of Cloudflare) and the project website is https://www.plan28.org/ https://www.plan28.org/ named after Babbage’s final iteration of his design.
I am sitting below a poster of Sydney Padua’s splendid cartoon of Plan 25, and her book and comics are the most entertaining way to learn a bit about Lovelace and Babbage http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/comics/ http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/comics/

- gknoy 5y agoI'm so glad you mentioned Padua's art and book. Her book ("The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage") was just a joy to read. The footnotes are magnificent, and span multiple pages, and it was just altogether entertaining as heck. The artwork is great as well. :)
