Haulix Weekly Update #51: Make Like Ariana Grande & Break Free

Walking outside this morning I felt a chill that let me know summer is slowly beginning to wind down. The temperature may linger in the upper 70s for a while longer, but before you know it the leaves will begin to change. The good news, at least for those of us not working 24/7, is that there are still a few seasonal weekends left before the cold settles in. Don’t sleep on this opportunity for freedom outdoors. It will be gone before you know it.

Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

REMINDER: We will be performing general patch updates in all of our servers this Saturday, August 16, from12:00PM to 4:00PM CST. There will be some minor downtime during the process and services will be unavailable.

Okay, back to our normal programming. This week was a quiet one on the development front, but that does not mean our team was taking it easy. In fact, the past several days have been filled with hard work and many hours logged by people who avoid sunlight in order to stare at the code that keeps us alive. They’re working to keep things operating as well as they possibly can, and we think they’re doing a swell job. There will be news about future updates soon.

On the blog side of things, the week was one of the most content heavy in recent memory. We ran our normal slew of posts, but also began developing more than a dozen new projects. We even recorded 2 new episodes of our podcast, which will return with improved audio quality early next week. For now, catch up on anything you may have missed by using the links below:

That’s all we have for this week. Find a pop song you cannot resist and have a weekend filled with dancing. No one will judge you. Okay, some might, but if they do are they really the type of people you want in your life?
