Haulix Weekly Update #145: “Make way for Willy…”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for finding a little time in your surely busy schedules to browse our company blog. Fall is officially underway here in the midwest, but the temperature doesn’t seem to have been impacted by the changing of the seasons. Thankfully, there is a lot of great new music keeping us cool at HQ. Like this:

Each and every weekend 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.

Development news:

Honestly, we do not have a ton of news to share in regards to development plans at this time. With Falcon pushed until mid-2017 (at the earliest) we are currently focusing our effort on improving other aspects of our business and branding. We are still fixing any glitches as they arise, but lucky for us we have a reliable system that does not require constant care in order to properly operate.

All this said, if you have an idea for how we can make Haulix better we would love to here it. We cannot promise to make every change you request, but we will thoroughly consider every suggestion we receive.

Blog news:

We are incredibly proud of what has been happening around our blog as of late. The content being created is only about half as good as the conversations that content has sparked, but in the end it’s all good. We are very invested in helping build a better music business for future generations, and with your help and contributions we are slowly, but surely doing just that. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Tune in next week for a new job board, a very long podcast, and much more.

Haulix Weekly Update #144: “Look, just give me some inner peace or I’ll mop the floor with ya!”

Hello, everyone! There are grey skies hanging over Minneapolis today, and because of this the temperature has fallen from the mid-70s to somewhere in the mid-60s. We consider this a blessing of sorts, as our entire team lives for Fall weather. The leaves are changing, cider mills are popping up, and a wealth of fantastic releases are beginning to trickle into record stores across the nation. One of our favorite albums of the year arrived in stores this morning, and to celebrate we thought we’d share a video for one of the album cuts we are currently obsessing over:

Each and every weekend 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.

Development news:

If you look closely at the Haulix website you will notice a few cosmetic/aesthetic changes occurring in the weeks ahead. While we do not have any plans to bring the updated platform to the public before 2017 we are actively working to improve the way our platform looks and feels, especially for those who may have never interacted with our brand before. If you like what you see, feel free to tell us. If you hate what you see, please tell us so we can make any necessary changes.

Blog news:

With our platform overhaul taking a breather for the remainder of the year you can expect to see a lot of content and change coming to our blog. You may have noticed a new layout this week, but we are not ready to say this is the look we are sticking with for the foreseeable future. Like with our company website, we want this blog to more accurately reflect the quality product and services we offer industry professionals around the globe. That said, we are not going to stop publishing content 6 days a week or recording new episodes of our podcast. In fact, we are actually quite proud of everything we have going on right now.  If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Tune in next week for a new job board, a very long podcast, and much more.

Haulix Weekly Update #102 – “Freedom! Horrible, horrible freedom!“

Hey there, everyone. Thank you for taking a few minutes to explore our blog. If you’re reading this post on the day it goes live then you are likely waiting for the weekend to arrive. We’re in the same boat as you, and to be honest we all have some wild plans for the days ahead. Before we get there however, we want to take a few minutes to reflect on all that has happened at HQ in recent days. We also wanted to share thing song with you, which a few of us plan to have on repeat all weekend long:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

We actually have some news to reveal this week, though it is admittedly not the type of thing we are excited to share. Due to a few minor setbacks over the last week, we are now expecting our updated platform to be ready for public consumption during the last half of October. This means you might have to wait a week or two longer than originally anticipated, but I can assure you it’s worth it.

BLOG NEWS:

There is not a lot of news to share on the blog front. We have been busy planning the relaunch of Haulix, so most of our time outside of content creation has been dedicated to that. We are thrilled to finally have Inside Music back on a regular basis, and we appreciate those of you who continued to support and/or request the show during its absence.

Haulix Weekly Update #97: “Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for stopping by our blog. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we’re happy to have your attention. This is our weekly recap post, which runs every Friday, and in it we talk all things Haulix. Before we get there however, we like to share a song that has been on repeat in our offices this week. With the weekend only a few short hours away, this track will help you celebrate your impending freedom like no other. Enjoy:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

Work on our impending relaunch continues, but at this point we have no new information to share on the development front. That said, we did complete our first Haulix user guide this week, and we hope to have it available for download beginning in early October. This will be a one-stop guide for press and clients alike that covers all the ins and outs of Haulix. If you have something you want us to include, please don’t hesitate to send us an email.

BLOG NEWS:

We are incredibly proud of this week’s content. I guess as the people behind the blog that should always be true, but some weeks we know we didn’t roll out our absolute best work. That’s not to say it isn’t good, but as any creative person will tell you it’s quite rare to feel satisfied with a project. This week, we’re satisfied with what we created. If you missed any of it, use the links below to get caught up before a new week begins:

Haulix Weekly Update #96 – “But my mom says I’m cool.”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for finding a little time in your surely busy schedules to spend a few minutes browsing our company blog. Fridays are always a special time, and we could not be happier to have you with us. Before we dive in, let’s celebrate the end of a long work week with this new jam:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

Following a couple weeks filled with updates regarding our forthcoming platform update, this week we have basically nothing to report. Development is ongoing, but there are a lot of tiny details being worked out at the moment that would mean nothing to the average consumer if explained.

BLOG NEWS:

To be honest, the blog took a bit of a backseat in recent days as our team worked to bring our first-ever user handbook to life. We are planning to release guides for press and clients alike ahead of our relaunch this October, and to do that we’ve had to divert some of our attention away from the blog. That said, we did use this week to lineup a number of great interviews, as well as the long-awaited return of our podcast. 

In case you missed any posts this week, we took it upon ourselves to link every piece of content we ran this week in the space below. Take a few minutes and catch up:

Haulix Weekly Update #64 – Getting Back On Track

Hello, everyone! We are thrilled to learn that you were able to find time amidst your busy schedule to spend a few minutes with us. It’s Friday, which means it’s time to review everything we have accomplished in recent days. Before we get to that however, I wanted to take a few moments to introduce you to a fast-rising rock band we cannot get enough of around HQ. Ladies and gents, please take a listen to New Years Day:

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’ve been promising new product releases for the last two weeks, and it make us immensely happy to report we released not one, but two new updates to share. Neither one is necessary a reinvention of our system, but we do believe these changes will simplify our clients’ experience. Here’s a quick rundown:

Bandwidth Usage Alerts

The system will now send you an email alert when you hit 80% bandwidth usage for the month.

Bandwidth Usage Graphs

The bottom of your dashboard has a new function, “Show Promo Bandwidth”. Click the link and yellow bars will appear showing how much bandwidth has been used per the lifetime of each promo measured in gigabytes.

Plan Change Alerts

Anytime you upgrade, downgrade, hibernate or cancel your account, you will now receive a confirmation email.

We are tentatively planning a few additional updates before the end of 2014, but at this point we’re keeping all details associated with those efforts at a bare minimum.

On the blog end of things, you may have noticed a slight upswing in the amount of content created compared to a week ago. Our hearts are still very heavy from the loss of our close friend Justin, but life goes on and we are doing our best to push forward. The content created this week was largely dependent on help from a number of influential music writers, but we contributed quite a bit as well. 

In case you missed anything in recent days, here’s a rundown of our newest content:

That’s all we have this week. Again, thank you so much for finding time to spend a little time with us. We love how this site has evolved up to this point, and to be perfectly honest we very anxious to see what happens next. For now, be sure to have a safe and fun weekend. We’ll be back on Sunday with a new Job Board.

Best,

Haulix
