Utilizing Craigslist and RSS Feeds

November 16, 2009

One cool feature about Craigslist is the ability to use RSS feeds to notify you when something you're searching for comes up. Most people will use this feature for items being sold, but for the wedding and event industry there are brides and others who post opportunities on Craigslist, and because time is money the sooner you respond to a posted gig, the more likely you'll either get the gig or at least be considered for it.

Since I'm a DJ I have my RSS setup to search for DJ gigs and jobs in every Craigslist area in Oregon. Most internet browsers or mail clients have an RSS feed option, so it's a matter of performing the search, then scrolling down to the bottom of the page, click the RSS button and copy the URL to your RSS reader. Now you're up to date on all posted gigs for your area, and they're delivered right to you Cool

I have booked numerous gigs using this and figured I should share it with everyone, this feature can be applied to any business that has an applicable area market on Craigslist. I urge everyone to give it a try, if you need help...

Google Chrome in - IE8 out

November 15, 2009

I finally decided on my default (and only) browser for my computers. I use to be a devout Firefox fanboy, then I decided to see if Microsoft finally did something right with Internet Explorer 8. Although it is a step up from 7, I still ran into problems on multiple websites and realized that IE8 still does not support the open web standards that are popular in most websites today. After test driving Google Chrome for a while I have been impressed with it's speed, usability and reliability that I believe is superior to IE8, and although Firefox is a great browser once I started using add-ons and themes it quickly became bloated.

I'm sure this won't be the last time I change web browsers, but for now Chrome is the best one for me. Let me know what you think and if you agree/disagree with my views on IE8 and Chrome. And if Chrome somehow fails in the future, then back to Firefox Cool

Updated music library, finished saxophone samples (for now), and will be posting a review on my favorite BlackBerry apps soon!

November 9, 2009

The music library documents got recently updated so feel free to download the new versions, it's available in four different formats organized by Title and Artist. I now have 15 saxophone samples online, which means it's time to record more piano samples in the near future: right now my plans are to record Canon in D, Air On the G String, Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata. Let me know if you have any other requests for demos and feel free to leave comments here on the Blog page, on my Guestbook or on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter.

Now for something not music related - since I've been the recent and proud owner of a BlackBerry I've been running my course through apps and will be doing a review on the ones I find useful and use on a regular basis, so BlackBerry owners be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog to see what I like and then afterwards feel free to leave comments on what else I should check out, if you agree/disagree, etc.

Things are looking good for my business, thanks to everyone for all the referrals and comments, it really is all of you...

Four saxophone samples are up!

November 6, 2009

Decided to get a head start in recording tonight, have four samples uploaded in the downloads page in the "saxophone samples" folder. Since these are samples they fade out after I play the melody, I figure this way I can get more recorded and uploaded, for those of you not familiar with jazz songs most of these are structured as melody, soloing, melody.

Should have more songs uploaded by Monday!

Recording saxophone this Saturday!

November 3, 2009

For those of you asking for saxophone samples, your wish (and mine) will come true since this Saturday I'm devoting the whole day to recording music. I should have everything edited and uploaded by Monday morning at the latest, so if you want to listen to those head over to the downloads section on Monday Cool
