MUSE

Haha!! I’m not sure if I’ve taken over the thrill to announce this to the whole world, but I’m pretty happy that we’ve finally found out a url “name”, for my friend’s blog.. ^_^
See… he’s started asking me (when I told him I bought a domain for myself) since I was back in my hometown… troubled with a site that he should choose for himself…
Well, the template you can change at anytime you wish (personally, I prefer multiply still, but for “starter”, ^_^, I recommended him to register with blogger, ie. He’ll get a xxx.blogspot.com), and the “title”, you can rename it many time, but the url link, providing nobody takes it up, it’s yours…

He didn’t want a link with his name… (ya, the combination of his name is a bit err… ^,^)
And I didn’t want him to simply choose a url link that may attract the wrong crowd… or that they may simply leave any trashy comments…

So, I started by asking him, if there’s anything memorable during his school time, where the “term” is not so common but not so uncommon too…
Since he’s a petroleum engineer…
And since I was pretty free before I started my work again, I went to those University online oil & gas glossary to pick some terms for him…
The thing is…
Neither he nor me could remember any of those…

Ok… then, it’s today…
The first thing I thought about was “alluvial”…
Ya ya… those common but yet uncommon names…
What he told me was ~_~, then, he’ll attract a lot of geologists onboard, or even archeologists ^_^…
Ok, case rest… so, I was trying to think of another name…
Which… you’ll be surprised, how your mind will switch and wander so far away…
Since he does not have much memorable days, so, I thought about my own time there…
During my second year summer holiday, before, I proceeded to Algarve for my third year fieldtrip… I worked with this Professor Michael Warner for a month…
Which was like… a total charity from him… he asked me to tidy up his research materials and paper and categorize them… that was year 1998
The research that he was doing, was the Mexican meteorite impact site, called Chicxulub…
Haha, so, the next “term” that I recommended to my friend, was “chicxulub”… but well… it was a bit uncommon…
So, I went online and search for more information and link between “chicxulub” and mike warner…
There you go… the project he was in charge, he called it “project muse”…
Cool huh!!! Immediately I fell in love with this word….

So, I recommended this word to my friend…
But being an internet user for quite a long while… I’ve a feeling that, it’s been taken up… yes, it was… m-_-m
(I even kinda forced him to take it up ^_^ cos, I liked the word personally, I told him if he doesn’t want it, I’d want to “occupy” the link)
So, there gone the muse.blogspot.com, or, even i-muse.blogspot.com
In the end, I can only suggest to him…
muse-i.blogspot.com

there you go…
let’s see what he’s put there!!!!
