    Story Behind the Song
    I put this together as a holiday gift to my office colleagues (being a Headhunter, aka Technical Recruiter for my current "day job").

    Recorded with MIDI and Band-In-A-Box (thanks, Peter Gannon!...)

    Digital audio recorded on NT workstation with SAWPro.

    Lyrics
    Have a Technical Christmas!

    Well, have a Technical Christmas,
    . from our e-home to you.
    We all have Technical Christmas,
    . it's on the home page too.
    The Christmas tree is on the LAN,
    . next year it joins the WAN.
    and when weve Ho-Ho'd em
    . from our cable modem,
    a Technical Christmas to you.

    This year we put our tree of lights
    . up on the new Webcam.
    We'll know when Santa leaves the gifts,
    . or just watch our kitty, Sam.
    The video is captured to
    . a hard drive in the back.
    We added it to one of 10
    . computers in the rack.

    The 12-year old was cracking all
    . the passwords in my bag
    to check out gifts from Amazon
    . with his name on the tag.
    He covered signs of entry with
    . electric reindeer tracks,
    but left a message on the screen
    . saying 'You've had multiple hacks!'

    Well, have a Technical Christmas,
    . from our e-home to you.
    We all have Technical Christmas,
    . it's on the home page too.
    My shopping list is on the Palm,
    . the backup's still to do.
    The sound card we install
    . is subject to recall,
    a Technical Christmas to you.

    The server runs on LINUX,
    . the printers through Novell.
    The apps are under Win NT,
    . they all wish you Nowell!
    We just installed a router,
    . and helped your Cisco stock.
    Tonight while you assemble bikes,
    . I'll try to over-clock.

    The house is all on timers,
    . controlled from in VB.
    The DLL's theyre run on
    . were coded up in C.
    The java in the kitchen
    . is Maxwell House, not SUN.
    but while the data's perking,
    . we'll have some SQL fun.

    Well, have a Technical Christmas,
    . from our e-home to you.
    We all have Technical Christmas,
    . it's on the home page too.
    Just got my new domain address,
    . a new host coming through.
    Don't need sweet confection,
    . just IP connection,
    a Technical Christmas to you.

    I just put up the firewall,
    . and safe it ought to keep us
    from 9 year olds and foreign lands,
    . where folks would crack and BLEEP us.
    The master driver for all this
    . is not that elf St. Nick,
    Its scripted up in Perl,
    . hacked to trigger with right-click.

    Our site is up in XML,
    . with SQL in behind.
    It's all Cascading Style Sheets,
    . that's best for us, we find.
    We found a scrolling JavaScript
    . to animate the greetings
    and added in a WAV we made,
    . that sounds like reindeer bleatings.

    Well, have a Technical Christmas,
    . from our e-home to you.
    We all have Technical Christmas,
    . it's on the home page too.
    The new sites just been FTP'd,
    . the URL gets through.
    and when weve Ho-Ho'd em
    . from our cable modem,
    the laughing is hearty
    . at our virtual party,
    the gift I got Hector
    . is a pocket protector!
    a Technical Christmas to you!
