Subject: new projects & registering for VAT

Hi guys,
I’ve just gotten another project that we could work on. Another WIT jobbie..

Money is not an issue & they’ll pay professional rates..

The following websites need redesigns
– www.ist-securist.org (needs a complete redesign including work on the logo
to make it more like http://www.ist-daidalos.org) We can use mambo and our
site’s “secure area” should use a themed version of moregroupware… located
@ www.moregroupware.org / http://mgw.k-fish.de/

– http://www.securitytaskforce.org/
Which should be redesigned to look like
http://www.eu.ipv6tf.org/in/i-index.php as far as I know.. Again we should
use moregroupware, mambo and do whatever design work we like, modifying the
logo that’s there to make it look more professional. I’ll get more details
of content later…

They need most of the work done on each site within the next 3 weeks.
We can charge our usual, including the magic gaisan 10% 😀
That means that we’re going to charge them a minimum of 1.5 grand/week +
addition design costs (logo revisions etc.) for the exercise. I’m recruiting
a few more people at the moment to ease the workload. For some reason we’re
getting a lot of work recently. Could be me banging on doors but who knows?

Also, just thinking about this. Are you both registered for VAT? If we
ignore the contract with Brian Carroll/SecureNetworks for a second where I
realise that Brian White would probably prefer to receive cash it would be
much better in the long run if everybody were registered for VAT as sole
traders. You could legitimately claim VAT back on a whole range of
electronic goods and I won’t get investigated by the revenue commissioners
for paying you.

You can find out more information by reading
http://www.revenue.ie/services/bus_start4.htm#1
and http://www.revenue.ie/services/foi/s16_2001/VAT_reg1.pdf
Returns can now be filed electronically @ http://www.ros.ie
Let me know what you think. It’s minimal work for a sole trader & you could
use my accountant if you needed some advice. Give me a call at some stage
today about this issue, OK?

regards,

…shane

[SEEPP2004] EU structural funding in Ireland




Hi all,

In the never ending quest to squeeze out every last penny of EU/national

funding available I found this site about EU structural funding in Ireland:

http://www.csfinfo.com/htm/community/index.htm

Details Community Initiatives such as Leader & EQUAl. The main site is very

useful for anybody wondering whether they can avail of EU funding for their

own pet project.  worth a look, especially seeing as most of these bypass

Enterprise/Never-fund Ireland. 



regards,

Microarrays aid the study of gene activity

Just read a great article on wired.com about Microarrays (silicon chips that light up to reveal which genes are active in a DNA sequence). These chips produce huge volumes of information that scientists have found extremely difficult to process and interpret. Enter the helping hand of s/w company Salk Institute. Top code chairman, Jack Hughes, is a paraplegic who also works as director of the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation researching cures for ameliorating spinal cord damage. Top coder is making a search tool in the form of the Gene Chip Data Interface available to all researchers in this field This should enable scientists to better understand the genetic effects of spinal chord damage in particular and microarray data in general.

Doogle search

Some wags in Trinity College Dublin have hacked up a humorous front end for the google.ie search engine. It’s called Doogle Search. Searches are broken up into categories from the hit Irish TV show Father Ted such as drink, feck, girls & arse. Words are mysteriously appended onto your search from a list of all things Oirish e.g Connemara, shite & Guinness.
