Creating Shazam in Java

This got me interested in how a program like Shazam works… And more importantly, how hard is it to program something similar in Java?

This example shows how to setup an environment running Rails 3 beta under 1.9.1 with a 'rails3' gem set.

∴ rvm update --head
# ((Open a new shell)) or do 'rvm reload'

# If you do not already have the ruby interpreter installed, install it:
∴ rvm install 1.9.1

# Switch to 1.9.1 and gemset rails3, create if it doesn't exist. 
∴ rvm --create use 1.9.1@rails3

* keep people working on internal projects, assign and schedule the work
  * dont look desperate, dont have immediate availability
  * can tell a client you can 'shuffle internal projects' to accomodate them

* online ads dont work well
  * referrals instead
  * do a great job every single time
  * voice calls important
    * when people call you call them back
