  • The God of Computers

I was just wondering what his name is...

There is a patron saint of computers, his name is Isidore:

The Greek god of math could also be concerned as well, his name is Hermes Trismegistus.

But as far as the role of "God of Computers" is concerned, nobody seems to fill it directly. I just guess we can say "the God of computers" without using a particular name.
Or should we make one up?

What you people think?
Well then next time i forget a ; somewhere in my program and compile doesn't work i will pray for Saint Isidore for help :P
Wikipedia:
Charles Babbage, an English mechanical engineer and polymath, originated the concept of a programmable computer. Considered the "father of the computer", he conceptualized and invented the first mechanical computer in the early 19th century. After working on his revolutionary difference engine, designed to aid in navigational calculations, in 1833 he realized that a much more general design, an Analytical Engine, was possible. The input of programs and data was to be provided to the machine via punched cards, a method being used at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom. For output, the machine would have a printer, a curve plotter and a bell. The machine would also be able to punch numbers onto cards to be read in later. The Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.
All hail Babbage!
