Early life and education

Barbara Young was born in Chicago on July 3. She attended Northeastern Illinois University. Young had a double major in English and linguistics, reflecting her interests in turning thought into language and the possibilities of communication with other life forms (either on Earth or elsewhere), as well as science-fiction and fantasy literature, and creative writing.[1]

Career

Young took several secretarial positions in sequence before working at IBM on one of the first word processors. Her interest in science fiction and fantasy led to her involvement in the role-playing game industry, specifically TSR, Inc.: "By way of fandom, I was introduced to the Dungeons & Dragons game, and I kibbitzed quite a few games before getting involved myself."[1] Young answered an advertisement in the Chicago Tribune for a game editor at TSR. Young worked for TSR in that capacity from September 1984 to 1985, then worked on a local newspaper while editing game modules for TSR as a freelancer. In January 1987, Young began working in TSR's magazine department as the assistant editor for Dungeon Adventures.[1] Dragon magazine won the 1989 Origins Award for "Best Professional Adventure Gaming Magazine of 1989" while she was the editor.[2]

gollark: https://pastebin.com/pDNfjk30Tired of communicating fast? Want to talk over a pair of redstone lines at 10 baud? Then this is definitely not perfect, but does work for that!Use `set rx_side [whatever]` and `set tx_side [whatever]` on each computer to set which side of the computer they should receive/transmit on.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/Gu2rVXL9PotatoPass, the simple, somewhat secure password system which will *definitely not* install potatOS on your computer.Usage instructions:1. save to startup or somewhere else it will be run on boot2. reboot3. run `setpassword` (if your shell does not support aliases, run it directly)4. set your password5. reboot and enjoy your useless password screen

gollark: <@184468521042968577> You know, a structure of ```lua{ ["a/b/c"] = "hugeblank's bad code"}```would be better for writes and stuff but worse for listing.Also, you can convert paths to a "canonical form" with `fs.combine(path, "") `.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/G2PMCNhFSkynet: simple websocket-based data transfer (ask if you want the server code).Use with `local skynet = require "skynet"````skynet.receive(channel) - receive a message on the given channelskynet.send(channel, data) - send a message (can be any JSON-serializable type) on the given channelskynet.listen() - convert "websocket_message"s to "skynet_message"sskynet.open(channel) - kind of internal, open "channel" - returns a raw websocket, which you must not use or else.```
