cherif··on Show HN: My "semester" project: cab sharing made easy
Looks great and it was nice to see Kimball's testimonial on the homepage (I got to Wharton and met him through his cousin who is a close friend).

Would love to see learn more about how you plan to solve chicken and egg problem.

cherif··on Ask HN: When did you last put yourself out of your comfort zone?
Geneva is not always an easy place for expats. I was living there for 3 years before moving to the US. If you need anything to make your stay more enjoyable (tips, etc), let me know. My email is my HN user name at gmail. Good luck!
cherif··on Ask HN: Please critique my landing page
Good points, thanks. Will include link to privacy policy and elaborate more in description. Was trying to cut down the copy to a minimum but I guess I went too far.

Interesting. Will change the description to address some of your comments. The position is definitely paid (in salary, not stock).

cherif··on Arrington : "You’re Welcome, You Bastards"
That's the first thing I thought. An intern or junior PR person taking initiative and then getting slammed by their boss. Now they (junior PR) have to backpedal to avoid getting shit from their old-school boss and, as a result, all of Fortune look like idiots.
cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
I did! Let me know what you think.
cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
I've contacted about 10 people off Sortflio. Of course the ones I like are probably the same ones that most other people like and therefore they are super busy.

Good idea on the mockup though, I should do that.

cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
That's a pretty cool idea. However, I don't have any designers following me on Twitter so how would the right people hear about this?
cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
What do you think is a fair dollar value I should put to these things above?
cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
Don't worry, I am not being rude :)

Of course I don't expect anyone to work for free. I am willing to pay the fair price.

cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
I'll pick talented and available.

For the personal homepage, I really like what Rafa did at http://rafaelcorrales.com/

You are right, I don't need much. Just someone to help me clean up a Tumblr/Posterous theme and integrate my different online presences plus Disqus.

cherif··on Ask HN: Can't find a designer. What am I doing wrong?
Good point. I'll probably get better responses just mentioning the startup work.

Still, where do I find someone for my homepage and blog?

cherif··on Before you read the YC email or answer PG call, read this.
I agree 100%. Writing that app was extremely beneficial in itself. It is an excellent forcing device to stop and think about the difficult questions.
cherif··on Ask YC: Does everyone get notified?
That's great. Thanks!
