One bleak afternoon, after way too many hours of programming in his isolated office at Scotland's St. Andrews University, Doug Hamilton took down his guitar. He'd spent many years writing and singing about world peace, environmentalism, and unrequited love - the usual singer-songwriter stuff. But for some reason today was different.

Unexpectedly, out came a song about graphical user interfaces.

There followed in short order new songs about the hard lives of servers, workin' on the help desk, and babyhood in the wired millennium.

A few years later, after an exhilarating but un-remunerative ride on the dotcom roller-coaster, Doug Hamilton the Computer Guy is once again toiling anonymously in an isolated office. But in the wee hours, day job and family in momentary abeyance,
he secretly pursues his true calling.

On the Internet, and unbeknownst to his co-workers and neighbors, he has thousands of listeners and a growing reputation for songs that crystallize what's funny and frustrating about our high-tech workplace.
