finance and me

I haven't been the best at looking after my financial details in my life so I have made a choice to turn this around!
My plan is to:
1. Get a high earning savers account
2. Open a Credit Union account.
3. Be ruthless with my direct debits from my salary account into these accounts.
4. Invest in current projects that I am running and be stern about financial return on investment and time.
5. Collaborate with other like minded people to setup a group that can push big and bright new ideas.

I would be delighted to hear from others who have a similar aim to myself and see what we can bounce around.

Thats the plan at the moment. Will keep this updated as the situation evolves.

inspiration from another

A light turned on for me reading a blog (web log) of a very kind person, what hit me is that I have always had something inside of me that has been wanting to get out and express itself. I have never known what it was, that hidden creature trying to get out, I now know it is my music...to lift someone’s day through my talent. Wow!



To use my own two hands to lift another from the ground, to shoulder a person’s burden and help them succeed in what they have always dreamed of doing... a dream catcher....



Thank you Steve.



Website Hosting Providers

A came across the need to research the costs of the main internet providers in Ireland and a couple in the US and UK. It made for very interesting reading. Hope you find it useful.



It's amazing to see how they structure their plans... Good to know and gives me the sight now to be informed. Also bear in mind that this of course has already expired by the time I have finished typing.

Internet providers in Ireland

Well as water and electrics are a necessity, the internet is just as crucial nowadays especially given that the world wide web is my playground and office!

I wanted to find what Internet Service Providers were available in my area, Killaloe , Co Clare. I found a great site here that checks for all the providers in every county Ireland.

Have heard bad new about Irish Broadband and their level of quality, Eircom seems to be a goer. I will email each and see what they have to offer.

Imagine Broadband - sales@imagine.ie
BT - no email only contact form!
Eircom -
corporate@sales.eircom.net
Digiweb - sales@digiweb.ie
Irish Broadband - support@irishbroadband.ie

Will keep the winner posted here!
Eircom

I got no reply from any of the above when I emailed them. I waited two weeks!
So I got on the blower to get this sorted out this week. So I found out that due to no wireless coverage from any providers I am forced to get a phone if I want internet at home... I didnt want to get a phone line... Eircom were definitely on top for price.

26th July 07 Update:
I found a great collection of all the providers on wiki . God bless that site!

ideabubble - a baby growing up

ideabubble is a project idea I came up with to help my realise some dreams I have:
- write and produce a song and have it be the biggest downloaded mp3 in Ireland.
- create an e-commerce business that allows me to write and sing music full time.
- help share other artists works of art, be it art or music.
- bring music and art to the people who didn't have a fair start in life.

This project has been a baby of mine for too long, now its time to send it out into the big real world and see if it can inspire great things from and for people.

Inspiring a person I believe is the greatest thing I can do with my own two hands.


ideabubble is a web design support group which loves to give help and advice to people.
