Inspired by @MelanieZeppel and @_SuSiSe_’s Wiki Edit-A-Thon, my first original wiki page is now live! All about Mary Wellstead, who was likely Australia’s first female telegraphist ✨ #telegraphy #womeninstem

Communication with London and the world was revolutionised for Adelaide and Australia #OTD 21 Oct 1872. The 3200 km Overland Telegraph to Darwin was in place and finally the undersea link was working. A telegram from London to to the GPO took hours versus several weeks by sea.

A really good book - not an easy topic by any means. I hope people in my generation appreciate all the major contributions Aspray made to the history of technology.

More amazingness from the ever fab @doctorow ... Right here, right now *waves from Oz*
My next book is *The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.* It's a recipe to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The book is from @VersoBoooks, but the #audiobook is from me - because Amazon refuses to sell it: https://t.co/nO3PlhCF6l 1/
