Care Instructions
Care Instructions
If you're going to burn one of our candles, follow these simple steps:
- Trim the wick at least ¼ inch before burning.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, vents or air currents.
- Burn for 2-3 hours each time you light the candle. This will help the candle burn evenly.
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire, especially things that are flammable or could start a fire if the candle were to fall over. Keep them out of reach of children and pets too.
The Scent Profile
Ada Lovelace - The First Programmer
This candle represents a Computer Science concept.
Ada Lovelace (1815 - 1852)
Born two centuries ago, Ada Lovelace was a pioneer of computing science. She took part in writing the first published program and was a computing visionary, recognizing for the first time that computers could do much more than just calculations. Today, she is considered to be a “prophet of the computer age” or even “the first programmer”.
This idea that the machine could manipulate symbols according to different rules and that numbers could represent entities different than quantities marked the transition from calculation to computation.
Even though Ada Lovelace is recognized as the first ever computer programmer that realized computers had applications beyond simple calculation, her work got little appraisal in her day and was only rediscovered in the 1950s.
