Closed mind
You sniggering pest I should find
Amidst vibrant hopes and fortitude
You crush me so, if only you could
With eyes that do not see
and a heart that will not hear me
Closed mind
You just suck big time!

So this is how it feels
It has been a while since I last wrote anything.
I've been busy trying to address the e2.0 within my own realm. Here on earth, on the corner of a junction next to a street car who may or not be named desire, in an organization that should know better.
All this while I realised, it has been easier said, or written in my case, than done.
Is e2.0 impossible to do in your organization? Heck noo! You just need to make sure you still swim and have your head over water even with a school of sharks wavering above your shoulders. You have to make sure your project sponsor swims with you and has an army of tough dolphins to follow. And a little "gold" at the end of the rainbow, that beckons you to soldier on, despite the toughest of moments even if you really are a small fish in the deep blue sea. Think Nemo if you will. If he can do it, so can we!
I've encountered the problems faced by the many people I've cited previously. And they've all got to do with people. Perhaps it has been my own doing?
We chose to experiment with a relatively new idea, this thing called the web 2.0 to:
a)help develop small, agile projects for the use of our clients
b)develop small local players by engaging them on projects as defined in a)
and we did it all in a rather stealth manner, while divulging what important information was required to our overall support systems in the organization. All this to prove a point that it can work, and if it doesn't we didn't spend an arm and a couple of legs for it. While the industry we cater to cheered us on, our internal support systems looked on with utter disgust and discontent.
And although "Rogue" is a name I find terribly sexy and complimentary considering the environment in which I work in, it unfortunately suggests that we are good for nothing. It would be one thing if we did infact invest in a useless project. The truth of the matter is, we didn't.
I guess that is for us now, to prove it.
