My Hobbies

My most recent interests are writing computer books and researching crimes, namely the Jack the Ripper murders. For more information, take a look at my Jack the Ripper page. This has also got me interested in Genealogy and Census Data Research.

I've also just set up a Cooper Family Tree website and am investigating my ancestors with a view to expanding this site as time goes by.

My latest book is a beginner's book for user's of Windows XP. It's called Windows for the InXPerienced, and it's a book for the complete beginner. It's available from www.lulu.com and the downloadable version includes full colour screenshots. For more information have a look at my Computer Help page.

here is a list of my hobbies, projects or interests.

It was sometimes difficult to catch John Smiling, but see above and below.

They had a variety of drummers, from Chip below, Eddie above right and far right. I can't remember the names of all of them but Paul plays the red kit.

This is a band called: Walt Street Journal Most of these guys have left now. I plan to add some more later.
Computers messing about with them, and playing, recording or making music with them.
I also like building computers. Here's one I built in 1983. It doesn't have a keyboard, monitor or mouse. Input is via switches, and the display is on LED's. I couldn't get the keypad to work as the eproms required are obsolete.
Golf when our golf pro asked me what my handicap was, i just said "golf".
Squash desperately trying to keep fit.	I may add some pictures later
My truck desperately trying to keep it running. I've got a new one now, picture below.
