Due to the fact that my first son was born in december 2011 (and that I knew that this would happen:)) I would have tried to prototype and release stuff to "stumble upon anything succesfull" until the money from my grant was used up (march 2012). Then I would have tried to survive as long as possible with my savings, and then, when I would not see any light at the end of the tunnel, would have returned to a day job in order to support my family.
If I would have to take care only of myself, I would have tried to continue even with a minimum income.
Can I ask how much the grant was? (Didn't see the amount mentioned in the article) and did the grant come with specific terms or was it just "here's some free cash, go have some fun :)"?
