I am working on my Artificial Intelligence page. Look at the top of the page “AI” this Budget and Enterprise Boards and @fiannafailparty and “The Irish” whoever they are and Microsoft . I got better things to do.

Happy Birthday Ozzy, One Year older than me, You Hero. This vid had 5.3 Million Views, thats more than the population of Ireland. “We Are Not Alone” so WATCH IT!

Is A joke:

A key focus of today’s Budget is regaining our international competitiveness.

Is A Joke

RESTORING OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE

Unless we regain our competitive edge, we will be unable to return to the tried and tested strategy of export-led growth that ushered in the boom in the early 1990s. We must be able to compete and win again in the international marketplace.

Where is my Competitive Edge County Enterprise Board?

High Earners Must Pay Their Fair Share
We have set our face against increasing the burden of income tax. But the Government wants high earners availing of tax incentive schemes to contribute more in the current difficult circumstances.

This Site costs me €4 a month:

Where is my €80 a week County Enterprise Board?

“The Board looked closely at your application, but felt that it was within a sector that is excluded from consideration”

Just Telling It Like It Is I needed 80 euros a week to operate in the first year.I would employ two people from the live register immediately…. In The Second year I forcasted 100k profit ? I think. Sorry a bit upset. And its part of:

Weddings On The Internet

“The Board looked closely at your application, but felt that it was within a sector that is excluded from consideration”

i. e. The Internet …Ready?

• The Plan: Weddings, Photography, The Internet. What if, on the day of a couples wedding, I could put up their pictures on the internet? Who would take them? Well, anyone with a camera phone, they just SMS them to me, I upload them to my computer and then upload them to the internet. Yeah! So what to call it? Has to be easy to remember…..how about “Weddings On The Internet” So I invested 10 euros and got http://WeddingsOnTheInternet.com
• Sounds good to me! Ok lets get Weddings On The Internet .eu Weddings On The Internet .net Internet Weddings .eu and lets get 250 business cards printed. Cost 4 euro 95 cents.
• The secondary ones may have expired by now, I got a 30 day free trial and The County Enterprise Board turned me down. I need 36 euros and don’t have it because Irish People Hate Disabled People (see previous post)
• Sorry I may be boring you but the saga is reported on my blog a copy is here :

Weddings On The Internet

I started a new venture on Wednesday., putting Wedding Albums on the web. Our local hotel is having a formal wedding fair so I thought I would have a stand. Hmmm. I registered weddingsontheinternet.com on Thursday morning , it seemed like a good name. I designed a web page.

Page !

I thought I better make it official so I registered “Weddings On The Internet ” as a business name with CORE (Dublin Castle) . I suppose I should explain who we are….[I forgot...saw a ladies telephone number in the printer on Tuesday and jotted it down, she does flowers. Gave her a bell, explained what I was at said she would meet me Thursday......]

Page 2

And what about images……so I hunted on line in my favourite professional picture site…

Page 3

Tought I would take a break and try out some new image software. I took a picture I liked and “doctored” it with a wedding couple. Hmmm it looked good…..

Page 4

I popped out and checked that my printing company could give me some time tomorrow. I said I would need about 30 minutes uninterrupted. I phoned the printing head office, explained what I was doing. Lady said the boss would phone me back. Had some lunch and lthought about a new shop I want to open selling second hand computers. Had a chat with the owners friend (I do their web site). Hmmmm….

Back home…now the next page……

Page 5

ok. Its a bit dry and why do it? What’s the reason for all this…….

Page 6

Yep! Good Reason! Ok so how much is all this going to cost? Hmmmm…
People spend a minimum of 4k, more often 6k. on their weddings (for ONE day!) So, I am giving them The Internet and their grandchildren and everybody in the world who has an Internet connection.. Now how much is The Internet worth? Philip smiles….

" Camera phones offer snapshot of our time, by Victor Keegan

If the dighital revolution had produced nothing except the camera phone, it would still have had a transformative effect on most people's lives. It is not only in the throes of destroying whole industries - such as film processing and standard canmeras - but it has also changed these devices from being aa passive recorder of life into an active, constant participant. You can take photos or videos and send them directly to web sites..." (We provide the web site, we provide the gallery, we provide the platfor...we get the image, it is up on the Internet 30 minutes nlater ...LIVE!)."..more than 60% of the world's population already has a mobile and MORE THAN HALF HAVE A CAMERA PHONE1...This year 90% of all phones shipped will have cameras....now...a camera phone has become an extension of a person."
