Many people asked me what is wrong with the name of the blog : Agatesix! How do you pronounce it? What is its etymology? And, most important of all how do you write it in Swahili?
Basically, it is where the whole idea of starting and failing to maintain another blog began. Yup, room number six of the Agate hostel. But, it was chosen mainly because Blogger would not accept the hundred other names I came up with including rsibi, sibir, iambored, fortytwo and even rightho. It was destiny and agatesix stuck.
On second thoughts, it does look like a pretty neat name. Looks like some Gaul just started a blog : Asterix, Obelix, Getafix and on the same lines Agatesix. Duh. And what was Agatesix's job at the Gaulish village? That is quite easy to answer; he just maintained logs. We all know that people quarried menhirs there and maintaining logs came pretty much at the same level as quarrying menhirs. And so he would right on random things everyday in his log and display it right below Cacofonix's tree-house, so that people ignore it safely.
So, this is more like a tribute to him; naming a blog in honour of the man who started the very idea of maintaining logs.
Right ho!
P.S. : No one asked me anything about this blog. "Many people .." was just a cliche. And frankly, it doesn't matter if you write Agatesix in Swahili. Finally, the name will be changed soon enough.
