I found that quitting caffeine was pretty easy. But replacing it with pure heroin was probably a bad move, as that was a bitch of a habit to kick.

I'd avoid memorizing a script. Memorize and push bullet point phrases, rather than a full 'story'. You'll be so familiar with the project that you should easily be able to recount the story. Focus on what the judges want to hear, eg if they

Don't worry, it's an agile spec. Very loose. Bullet points are amazing things.

LOL, the spec doesn't cover that I'm afraid, though it would be a killer feature. I can think of various politicians that might want it...

It depends on the market you're aiming at. Some market sectors are recession-proof, others less so. Holidays in Hawaii / Bali might be downgraded, but people will still want to go on holiday. Also, it is competitive out there, but if you ar

It should focus minds on business models, that's for sure. There's nothing wrong with bootstrapping or having a point to doing what you're doing (ie, making profits). Do you REALLY need the funding? I think the smaller investors will want t

I tried FM (my site has 800k-1.2m page impressions / month; mainly US traffic) and they said 'come back when you get 1m US uniques. But you're right - they have sites that are definitely smaller. Where does your traffic come from? How many

All of those networks will pay low CPMs though, that's the issue. It is blind network stuff, by and large. Low = less than $1 CPM per ad unit.
