A note if you’ve come here to duncanriley.com due to receiving spam. It isn’t me. I’ve got a catch all on duncanriley.com for incoming email, but aside from one email address there isn’t any others being used. Please don’t send me abusive emails or remove requests, simply, someone is spoofing @duncanriley.com email addresses and sending out rubbish. Think about it some more, if I was going to send spam, which is illegal anyway, would I do it from an email address that included my own name?

I was sitting here thinking to myself hmmm…I haven’t posted anything here in over 2 days…news wise it’s been really quite, and with the golden child at home recovering from a tonsillectomy I’ve not been 100% in front of my computer either…indeed, I thought I might write a post about how quite it’s been news wise this week, and then I read this.

Looks like Martin’s sold ePublishingDaily, or atleast the IP developed behind the scenes anyway. Great stuff Martin. I wonder as to whom though,my first guess is Yaro Starak, but after that it’s needles in the haystack guessing. Developing….

Monday morning sucks, and yet it’s good all at the same time.

There’s usually nothing much good to read in my Bloglines subscriptions, and that sucks, because it’s still Sunday night in the States.

But the fact that I’ve got nothing much to read is actually a good thing because it frees up time to do other things, like to write posts about Monday Morning because there isn’t much else to write about this morning.

Conversely Saturday morning sucks as well. Its Friday night in the States and the blogosphere is always busy on a Friday, and yet I don’t work full time on the weekend. It’s family time. It’s time for she who must be obeyed to force me to clean the house…and she has to force me, I despise cleaning. Perhaps one day I’ll be rich and famous, or even have a regular income again, and I’ll be able to get a cleaner in. We use to have cleaner come in once a week to do all the stuff I hate doing, like mopping the floors, scrubbing the toilets etc.., and then I went into the full time blogging game and we had to discontinue the service, it wasn’t economically sound to keep her on. Touch wood that this might change again in the future.

Todays philosophical thought.

Does your collective wisdom and experience mean diddly squat when no body believes you?

Is it futile in trying when those parallel to you or above you won’t accept facts because those facts are inconvenient to their overall picture of how things should be?

Is it futile trying to persuade the unpersuadable? do you as a consequence accept that you have no place in which to make input that will be listened to, or do you take your bat and ball and leave, seeking greener pastures elsewhere?

Is a key sign that all is lost one where the answer to your questions in relation to a wanted outcome or issue is inevitably no, and yet others act without even asking the question to start with and with no actual consequences to these actions?

Is doing the “right” thing, discussing things prior to action, and by association seeking permission, a flawed concept in modern business practice? Do those who inevitably win the day those that don’t play by these rules? Indeed, are these rules dead?

Food for thought.
