iworkforthem··on The Difference Between Unit Testing and Integration Testing
I see it this way - Unit Testing is to ensure that components & features are coded correctly. Integration Testing is about ensuring multiple components can work nicely together as an Application.
iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Business Cards -- Designers / Printers
2) The weight and type of paper used played quite a bit of difference. E.g. 260gsm Art Card, 260gsm Art Card + Matt Lamination (D), 260gsm Art Card + Matt Lamination (D) + Spot UV (S), 260gsm Art Card + Gloss Lamination (D), 230gsm Ivory White Card, 230gsm Fine Linen, 230gsm Fine Vein, 230gsm Modern Embossed, 200gsm PVC, 250gsm Platinum White, 280gsm Frosted Card.

Personally I like the 260gsm Art Card + Matt Lamination (D) + Spot UV (S)(optional) best. Paper is thick and smooth. Price is not too expensive. If you are located in USA, overnightprints.com seems to print the cheapest with these quality paper. If you are in Asia, drop me a note. I can print for you. :P

iworkforthem··on Ask HN: what do you do when you're feeling unmotivated?
I jog more than usual. I break down tasks into even smaller tasks, work on only a small handful at a time.

Once a task is completed, I do my little celebration 'dance'. This help to keep me going, and going without burnout + regain any loss momentum.

iworkforthem··on Show HN: invoiceto.me (Make a free invoice PDF online)
I like it!

Here's a few suggestions you could think about.

- Link the generation of invoices to existing apps/online services. No invoices work alone, probably you need to tap onto existing apps/services to help simplify users's adoption of your app.

- Er.. why are you not making $$$ from it? Have a paid and a free options. One way I can think of the paid option is to allow users to save generated invoices.

One thing I wish I done while starting out as a freelance web developer is to Contribute to an Open Source project.
iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Would you take a pay cut in exchange for a 4-hour work week?
4 hrs off less a day != not productive.

Surely certain tasks can be optimized better through automation, processes, technology, etc. It's almost like tell me to work for minimum wage.

iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Where do you buy your startup's tshirts?
I bookmarked Threadbird - http://www.threadbird.com/ recently, from the folks of Storenvy I think, but your pricing is much more competitive! Threadbird got a bit more printing options and materials.
iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Best sites online to sell tshirts?
SpreadShirt, Zazzle and CafePress, all allow you to print t-shirts without keeping inventory. The profit margin is not large, but it is still good, considering you just have to focus on the design only.

You have to consider the materials of the t-shirts used, seems like most of the folks like t-shirts printed using American Apparel t-shirts.

iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancers? (April 2011)
SEEKING WORK

I code Java/Javascript/CSS/HTML.

I automate web testing with Selenium/Sahi.

Remote work - Asia & US. Ask me anything.

iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Someone is interested in one of my domain names, now what?
I was a victim of a domain fraud before. Largely due to my lack of knowledge how it should ideally work out. Just sharing, hope it helps.

- Dun use paypal to receive payment. The buyer can always raise a dispute, it is impossible to show proof that you made delivery of the domain. Paypal look at tracking code for physical products most of the time.

- Use eScrow services, top is from Moniker - http://www.moniker.com/domainappraisalbrokerage/domainescrow... It will guide you through the whole process.

ps: Dun just take my word for it. Speak to more domainers.

iworkforthem··on QUESTION: Am I crazy to go with www.get[nameofproduct]app.com?
Domains ending with 'app' appeals to more people, plus you can use it for your iPhone/Android app.
iworkforthem··on Ask HN: Has anyone here dabbled in non-tech entrepreneurship?
I run a namecard printing business on the side, primarily dropship. I partnered a printing house in another country, I get orders/partners locally. And email my orders overseas for fulfillment.

I'm working on a photo scanning business now, similar to the first, customers mail the photos to my address in US, UK. It get dispatch to my team in another country. They scan it to DVD and mail it back to my customer.
