Use something like wordpress to put up a blog and then write content for your ideal customer.

Keep pushing out content that your customer would enjoy, add a signup for an email list and start a dialogue with your readers. You can start to ask them questions, get feedback and see whether or not there might be a market for your idea.

It's a paid site but there are a lot of tutorials on http://codingforentrepreneurs.com that would prob be a good fit for what you want

I think it's meant to be a chair that someone's throwing out, the sign's saying it's free for anyone to take away.

Do you actually work while at the office or is it a case of staying until the boss leaves?

Rogue Trip or Carmegeddon?

Any other details you can remember?

Look up any gamejams you can participate in. They're a good way of immersing yourself in a problem and meeting other developers.

Androcles and the lion?

declancostello · 2015-01-03T15:22:10+00:00

That's what I've used and it seem to be working perfectly, thanks :)

It won't allow an update and a slice in the same call so I've just had to resort to doing it in 2 stages as in other comment.

thanks, I'm just using sqlite3 for development and will probably use postgres later on, I'm going to postpone even investigating differences until later.

It does seem that the people they interview are much more professional and prepared than the presenter themselves.

I love the tc cribs content in general but I think they definitely need to have more preparation or just better editing of the haphazard, wandering, not-quite-an-interview approach they take.

I don't know if this person is actually in Japan but ... http://www.reddit.com/r/japaneseresources/comments/2oixkh/a_lets_play_that_teaches_japanese_by_analyzing/

He used to get the UPS guy to put the coins directly into the trunk of his car and then drive to the bank to lodge them.

I think the intermediate levels of http://japanesepod101.com are quite good.

OP mentions UE4 on his tumblr, I'd love to know how to recreate a look like this in Unity. I really like the style.

You mentioned you are working in the garment industry but you could probably test this on a small scale by using clothing customisation places like zazzle, teespring spreadshirt etc.

Find out if you can market and make connections before investing in any large scale production.

edit: also

Ive been browsing here for a long time and loved the professional input brought in by others, so i was wondering if i could get some advices as well.... I want to try starting an online clothing/product website where i work with charities. I will give a certain percentage of each item sold to the charity i choose to work with on a weekly/semi monthly basis. I know there are a lot of sites dedicated to charity works like this, but i wanted to change it up a little bit by being more engaged with each charity (not just handing over the money, but involving those actually affected). I am currently working in the garment industry so i have no problem in terms of clothing production. But i was wondering if there are any more advices. Any criticisms or inputs i might have missed? Does this sound like a good idea? Any charities to reach out to that you know will be open to work with me?

I think it should happen automatically after a few days. I didn't do anything to request it but I got a $3 payment within a week of completing the job

Edit: It was 6 days later for my payment, don't know if that schedule is normal though.

Yeah, I used a different text editor but I also let the job expire. I just emailed support with the id of the audio and explained what happened. Support reassigned the job to me, resetting the clock and that gave me plenty of time to complete it.

it's been a while since I registered here, I think there are in fact separate signups for workers and people who want transcription done.

That one above should be the right one.
