Haulix Weekly Update #66 – ‘You Know What They Say, Time Is Monet’

Hello, everyone! The first work week after Thanksgiving is only a few short hours away from completion and if you’re anything like us then you’re itching for the weekend to arrive. We love our jobs and we could not ask for a more exciting industry to be a part of, but sometimes you just want to unplug, crank some tunes, and let all your stresses slide off your back like condensation on the side of a cold drink. Doesn’t that sound nice? We can’t make the clocks move faster, but we can give you a soundtrack to help pass the time. Ladies and gentlemen, take a moment to familiarize yourself with Night Terrors Of 1927:

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.

We have platform updates! We have platform updates!

We have been promising the release of additional development updates before the end of 2014, and today we can finally shed some light on the many projects we have been working on in recent weeks. There is obviously a lot we cannot share at the moment, but here are a few items we think you will enjoy:

—   System will send an alert email if you hit 80% of your monthly bandwidth usage

—   System will send an email confirmation when making a plan change (upgrade, downgrade, hibernation or cancellation)

—   Contacts screen now has separate groups highlighting bounces, unsubscribes and invalid email accounts

—   Dashboard now shows bandwidth usage for the life of each promo

We hope to have more updates out before the end of the year, but with the holidays fast-approaching we will have to see what we can make happen. Regardless, 2015 is going to be WILD. We have some big ideas and we are putting every ounce of ourselves into making them a reality. We’ll have more on all that soon.

On the blog side of things we’ve perhaps never been busier than we are at this very moment. Between daily content, interviews, transcriptions, podcasts, and the planning for our yet to be revealed end of the year feature (which is incredibly cool), we cannot seem to find nearly enough time to do everything we desire. In fact, James is planning to spend a good portion of his weekend working just so we can get ahead.

In case you missed any posts, here’s a quick list of our recent content offerings:

Heavy Is The Head: An Interview With Sullivan

Whole Again: Front Porch Step Discusses Life, Music, And Missing Home

Best,

Haulix
