Life

Eileen Reid was born Eileen Florence Beatrice Oulton in 1894 at 19 Upper Mount Street, Dublin. She was one of the two children of the Dublin barrister, George Nugent Oulton. She lived at the family home for her whole life. She attended the German High School, Wellington Place, Dublin, and then the Royal Irish Academy of Music. She won the 1910 Coulston exhibition, and the Coulston Academy scholarship in 1911. Her instrument was the piano. She qualified as a music teacher in 1914. It was the family friend, William Orpen, inspired her to start painting. In 1922 she entered the Royal Academy Schools in London.[1]

In 1923 she married Hugh C. Reid in St Stephen's Church, Dublin. Reid was from London, and worked in the Nigerian colonial service. She had planned to join him in Africa, but he died of a fever in 1924 before she could do so. Instead, she returned to the Royal Academy, graduating in 1927. She taught music for a living, played the organ at St Stephen's church, while she painted. She painted figures, landscapes, and cityscapes. She initially worked in oils, but later moved in watercolours. She joined the Water Colour Society of Ireland in 1934, and was the group's secretary from 1936 to 1974. She exhibited with the society in the 1930s and 1940s, but later devoted her time to the administrative and organisational activities of the society.[1]

Reid died at home on 8 April 1981. Many of her paintings are held in a number of private Irish collections. A retrospective exhibition was held at the Cynthia O'Connor gallery in 1984.[1]

gollark: I wanted something to play varying music in my base, so I made this.https://pastebin.com/SPyr8jrh is the CC bit, which automatically loads random tapes from a connected chest into the connected tape drive and plays a random track. The "random track" bit works by using an 8KiB block of metadata at the start of the tape.Because I did not want to muck around with handling files bigger than CC could handle within CC, "tape images" are generated with this: https://pastebin.com/kX8k7xYZ. It requires `ffmpeg` to be available and `LionRay.jar` in the working directory, and takes one command line argument, the directory to load to tape. It expects a directory of tracks in any ffmpeg-compatible audio format with the filename `[artist] - [track].[filetype extension]` (this is editable if you particularly care), and outputs one file in the working directory, `tape.bin`. Please make sure this actually fits on your tape.I also wrote this really simple program to write a file from the internet™️ to tape: https://pastebin.com/LW9RFpmY. You can use this to write a tape image to tape.EDIT with today's updates: the internet→tape writer now actually checks if the tape is big enough, and the shuffling algorithm now actually takes into account tapes with different numbers of tracks properly, as well as reducing the frequency of a track after it's already been played recently.
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: https://pastebin.com/MWE6N15i```fixcrane```It's kind of like harbor, but designed as a bundler thing to pack code and libraries into a single file. Automatically minifies your code, and will compress it if that would shorten it - the output file will use a single-file VFS like harbor.
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, "") `.
