Just Upgraded to the New SongBird 0.6.

June 21st, 2008 by Robert

Get Songbird

First things is that I love Songbird. It’s the best idea ever. I’ve had some problems with earlier versions and this release fix long list of problems. But now 0.6 is public release it kills all other music players. It’s the Miro of music. It’s simple to use and even better to find new music. With radio being the same 10 songs over and over again. Satellite radio is about to go though a merger. I’ve always wanted a place I can find new music and buy it.

Bookmarks

You have different bookmarks to the side that are music search engines and stores. Now you can search for any song that’s been posted on a blog and listen to it. And later if you have a songs that on Amazon, emusic, Itunes and Amie Street you link on the media area.

New Music

Sites like Hypem Machine is a great place to see what new, most searched, and most blogged about. Having a site like this really helps keeping you up-to-date about new artist.

Songbird has a long list of new features that I’m still finding out. Look at the new SongBird Roadmap

New Job doing Hardware Testing

June 14th, 2008 by Robert

Started a new job last month after being let go from another company in Midland,TX. The new company does Hardware Servicing for HP, Gateway and Best Buy in Irving,TX. When I was let go. I was sad but didn’t know how good it was to leave that office. It was in a corporate environment and I like the idea but now I know it’s not for me. So I when back home in Arlington,TX. I wanted to sit back and have some time to think. That next Monday I posted my resume on all the usual job sites. And I didn’t know there were so many Insurance companies that were hiring. Most there Multi-level marketing companies. I didn’t want to do stuff like that. But something great happened that I didn’t know was great until later that week. I got a call from a staffing agency that wanted to submit me for a job. So I sent them a new resume and later that week I was on a new job. Didn’t know what I was doing because the agency didn’t explain everything to well. After working there for about a month now. I think I’ll like the job. I’m doing Motherboard testing and processing orders. After getting my degree I didn’t know what I would be doing with my life. I’m just happy I have something that I’m interested in.

My Brother-in=Law started working for RIM or Blackberry if you don’t know RIM. And he’s making some money. Don’t want to change my job now because I need a stable check coming. I think if something goes wrong with this job I have a back up.
