简介编辑本段回目录
Stan Kelly-Bootle (born 1929, in Liverpool) is an author of nine books and numerous magazine articles, and songwriter. His most famous song is the Liverpool Lullaby (Oh you are a mucky kid), which Cilla Black recorded in 1969 as the B-side to her pop hit Conversations. He is also notable for achieving the first postgraduate diploma in computer science (1954).
Education
Stan Kelly-Bootle was schooled at the Liverpool Institute. He spent 1948-1950 as a conscript in the British Army, achieving the rank of Sgt. Instructor in RADAR. He then attended Downing College, Cambridge, graduating with a degree in Numerical Analysis and Automatic Computing in 1954.
Folk singing career
In 1950, Kelly-Bootle helped found the St Lawrence Folk Song Society at Cambridge University.
As a folk song author and singer, he performed under the name "Stan Kelly". He wrote some of his own tunes and also wrote lyrics set to traditional tunes. In the course of his musical career, he made over 200 radio and television appearances, and released several recordings, as well as having his songs recorded by others.
Computing career
He started his computing career programming the pioneering EDSAC computer, designed and built at Cambridge University. He worked for IBM in the United States and the UK from 1955 until 1970. From 1970 until 1973, he worked as Manager for University Systems for Sperry-UNIVAC.
Writing career
In 1973, Kelly-Bootle left Sperry-UNIVAC and became a freelance consultant[1], writer and programmer.
Kelly-Bootle is well known in the computer community for his books The Devil's DP Dictionary and its second edition, The Computer Contradictionary. These are sarcastical/cynical lexicographies in the vein of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary.
He also authored or coauthored several serious textbooks and tutorials on subjects such as the Motorola 68000 family of CPUs, programming languages including various C compilers, and the Unix operating system. His texts have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Korean, and Chinese.
He authored the "Devil's Advocate" column in UNIX Review from 1984 until 2000, and also had columns in OS/2 Magazine ("End Notes", 1994 - 1997), Software Development ("Seamless Quanta", Oct 1995 - May 1997). He contributed columns and articles to several other computer industry magazines as well.
His articles for magazines such as ACM Queue, AI / Expert, and UNIX Review contain stunning examples of word-play, criticism of silly marketing and usage (he refers often to the computer "laxicon") and commentary on the industry in general. Kelly-Bootle has also written an online monthly column posted on the Internet (see external links, below).
While most of his writing has been oriented towards the computer industry, he has also written a few books relating to his other interests. These include:
Liverpool Lullabies, The Stan Kelly Songbook, SING Publications, 1960. Second edition, 1976.
Lern Yourself Scouse -- How to Talk Proper in Liverpool, Scouse Press, 1961, written with Fritz Spiegl and Frank Shaw. Sixteen editions published through 1991.
The Terrace Muse, An Anthology of Soccer Songs and Chants, serialized in the Daily Express in 1970.
