Your salary should be basic, covering your costs and giving you a bit of spending money. This assumes you're working full time for the startup. Remember that the bigger picture is …

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.

Hey - we're looking to redesign our blog and I'm looking for a Wordpress theme designer to help us out. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

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 …

This is a sure sign of a sociopath, which explains a lot about my most geeky friends.

If you have downtime then use it to learn new, practical skills. And where better to start than in goldrushland: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/overview.html

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...

A kick-ass reputation monitoring tool... once I find the right lead developer / partner ; )

It's really important and not at all negative, it just means people are searching for something specific, and will most likely move on once they've found it. For retailers, these a…

Well, who is going to stop them? They're superhuman...

Adobe, and specifically Flash, truly sucks.

It's $1CPM at best. The range is sort of 40c - 70c, from memory. They talk big but it's just distressed inventory, nothing targeted.

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 defi…

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.
