Budget 2010

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
BizSpark_StartUp


“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 !

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......]

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……

" 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."

The Dragon Age

Another Blog its called “Here Be Dragons” and it was inspired by the new EA Game called Dragon Age Of Course Dragon Age on wordpress had gone so Dude Starship registered THEdragonage.wordpress.com (Don’t worry, I am not schizophrenic. Dude Starship is actually an Artificial Intelligence program I am working on but please don’t tell “him” that, lol)

So, any way, Its about dragons of course. But from the trailer it looks like Dragons are the bad guys. Hmmm. I suppose that in myth and legend Dragons often were the bad guys. Anyway, our Dude is a bit risqué . His opening tongue-in-cheek synopsis of the site is as follows :

“I have always been a fan of Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies). They are energetic and playful. They taste so yummy with falafel beans.”

Perhaps you better watch the video…..


The site is EXTREMELY RUDE and IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. Bad language abounds but you will find the “porn” very funny.

I requested that the site be reviewed by Wordpress. They did so and removed the “Offensive” items.

The producers motto is “For those who love porn but hate the sex” :) So, but as I said if you do not like explicit language DO NOT VISIT THE SITE!

I love graphics as you may have guessed. It is the artist in me (in us all). So I manipulated this :

Picture taken by a USAF pilot over Taipei on 11th November 2009

I’ll do more but that took about 3 hours and it could be better.

  • and among the many disturbing tidbits, there was mention of EA spending 66-75% of a game’s budget just on advertising. First off, no wonder so many EA titles are trash, secondly, I wonder how many copies Dragon Age is going to have to sell to even break even. Millions, apparently.
  • Is that really necessary, such expensive advertising? Surely there must be cheaper ways…Take TV ads for example – what do they add? I have never bought a game because of a TV ad. It’s mostly reviews, magazine ads, promotional videos from the website and, if available, a playable demo. Those are the things that sell games, besides word-of-mouth.
  • that don’t include Dragon Age. RPG’s have always been off in a corner kind of by themselves. They’re not really hardcore games and don’t appeal to most twitch gamers. They’re not casual games by any stretch and don’t appeal to most casual gamers.
  • Well, yes Dragon Age can be considered a niche game, definitely more of a hardcore gamer’s game than EA Sports Franchise Sequel 20xx, but it made me wonder if the same marketing/financing strategy hasn’t been applied to Dragon Age also? They have been doing various advertising campaigns for months. This is the new *** after all. It’s sort of a moot point now, but I just found it annoying that so much has changed (for the worse, in my opinion) in gaming in the past 10-15 years.
  • sad about gaming in general. I begin to feel like the people who made up the core of gamers 10 or 15 years ago are going to be left behind, with no one caring about them as the developers all chase the money of the “casuals.” Also…”The hardcore are the ones who spend 20 hours or more a week on games and who are fans of professional game players who compete for prizes and money.” WTH? I’d consider myself hardcore, but the idea of being a fan of “professional game players” is ludicrous to me (the whole idea of “professional game players” is ludicrous too, as far as I’m concerned.) That said, I doubt that sort of ad blitz will happen with Dragon Age. I know I haven’t seen a single ad on a non-gaming site/TV station (actually haven’t seen any “ads” on TV, but there have been features on G4 and the like.)
  • …Well, I have fun.

…Oh and if you like games, sorry it is a bit rude but it will make you smile, especially if you are old.

The Internet

Hi Graham, Hi Gill, Hi Inty
Change Your Mind ~ Change The World

Alan Emtage, (born November 27, 1964) conceived and implemented the first version of Archie, a pre-Web internet search engine for locating material in public FTP archives.

  • The author originally wanted to call the program “archives,” but had to shorten it to comply with the Unix world standard of assigning programs and files short, cryptic names such as grep, cat, troff, sed, awk, perl, and so on.

A native of Barbados, and the son of Sir Stephen and Lady Emtage, he attended high school at Harrison College from 1975 to 1983 (and in 1981 becoming the owner of a Sinclair ZX81 with 1K of memory), where he graduated at the top of his class, winning the Barbados Scholarship.


ZX 81

I cycled across London to get 16k of RAM upgrade

In 1983 he entered McGill University in Montreal, Canada studying for an honors Bachelor’s degree in computer science which was followed by a Master’s degree in 1987 from which he graduated in 1991. Emtage was part of the team that brought the first Internet link to eastern Canada (and only the second link in the country) in 1986. In 1989 while a student and working as a systems administrator for the School of Computer Science, Emtage conceived and implemented the original version of the Archie search engine, the world’s first Internet search engine and the start of a line which leads directly to today’s Altavista, Yahoo!, and Google.
