Today I am going to discuss acquiring a best domain name (TLD DomainNames) that suits your needs. For the last ten years, I was trying to find a good domain for my own website. I am continuously working on this area in my free time to enhance my web presence.

Check the VA State PE Exam Results Online

Based on the thread on "Oct 07 VA State PE Exam Results....", I did some research on the PE license Numbers (VA).

In DPOR VA page you can search for license numbers using wildcard code "*".

Please post your ideas on moving our The Internet GeoEngineering Society(IGES) forward? We are soon going to launch IGES.com focusing on creating The Internet GeoEngineering Society. GeoEngineering will include GeoMechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, and Engineering Geology as well.

If you are interested in some domains that can let you establish your presence in Internet in a meaningful way, please go to Sedo.com and try to explore them. Some of them are listed at the end of this posting. I bought some of these domains in the search of better name for my own use. As soon as I got Geotech.Net, my search is over.

Pile vs Micropile technology: I worked a couple of years on a Technical Committee (named MicroPile Study Group) on MicroPile Technology. As a part of the MC Study group, I had witnessed the live test on micro-pile, and became part of FE simulations. Oops, I also published a technical paper on Finite Element simulation of micro pile model test results.

Grade and University Name which matters more?

001. Ohayo-gozai-masu = Good Morning. (explained somewhere else in this website).

002. Kon-nichi-wa = Wildcard word for Hello!, good morning, afternoon, or evening.

003. Oh-yasumi + na-sai = first part alone means "Bye", Full length means Good Night.

004. Hajime-masite = First time. It is our first time. "Nice to meet you --how do you do--" equivalent.

What does Go-Chiso-sama-deshita mean in Japanese?

In this world, Nations are created by mankind for the use of mankind. This week's Newsweek reveals that there were several sets of human like people they spreaded all around world since last 1 million years, and Homo Sapios made first debut around 50,000 years ago, and the debut started from Tanzania, Africa. It is based on Scientific Reasoning, and don't bring faith in this controversial topic.

At a time when I was an undergraduate student at Roorkee University (currently: IIT/Roorkee), I used to see international people gathered inside the audiotorium and used to gather inside white tent. I did not have much interest, and I also did not realize that the importance of conferences.

My father came to US in 1957, and saw the Russians going to space on American TV at his host's house. He used to tell me that Americans did not believe the news first, because American should have been there, but not Russians, and they believed that it can not happen. It happened. Miracles do exist. It was long time before, I was borne.

I am not sure who coined the word Geotech or Geotechnical, but to me it looks like that British Geotechnical Society might be the first one to officially integrate the word in its Society's Official Name. The word lingered there for long time before it became a house hold name replacing the lengthy "Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering" to just Geotechnical Engineering. Because of internal competition between IAEG, ISRM and ISSMFE, the ISSMFE was not allowed to use the word "Geotechnical" exclusively in its new name ISSMGE, which would have been better of with the IGS. I can not simply understand why the ISRM and the ISSMGE simply merge and form a unified International Geotechnical Society. Anyway, keep on watching the FIGS (Federation of International Geotechnical Society) is coming soon. And, they might increase your membership fee. Anyway, in this blog posting lets focus on the validity of the use of "T" and "hyphen" in the middle of the word "Geotechnical".

Some geotechnical colleagues along with a majority of non-geotechnical engineers or people outside geotechnical profession continue to write Geo-Tech (hyphen), Geo-Technical, GeoTechnical, GeoTech or like that instead of realizing that the Geotech or Geotechnical is a single word: without any hyphenation or without capitalization of T in the middle of the word. Even world's top publishers of the book in Geotechnical Engineering like John-Wiley, McGraw Hill, and others write the word incorrectly using Hyphen. I think that the ISSMGE should bring this issue into attention and clearly identify that Geotech word does not have any hyphen or capitalization of 'T' in the middle of the Geotech word.

Recently I started a project to search the geographical location of the distinguished geotechnical people, organizations: academic, research, others organizations like national and regional goetechnical society offices, and projects around the world. It can be made possible because of the presence of Google Earth Mapping Software and Open KeyHole Technology. I request fellow geotechnical engineers around the world to spend some time and effort to publish the place holder (key holes) at Google Earth, and publish the URL at our website (http://www.GeoXYZ.COM/) dedicated to the Geographical XYZ Positioning of Geotechnical Peple, Org, and projects. You are not only supposed to publish the physical address, but also requested to publish the URL of Google Earth KeyHole (PlaceHolder) so that the fellow geotechnical engineers around world can click on the URL link and download the Google Earth Map in a matter of second. Your participation in this project will serve thousands of fellow geotechnical engineers. In Google Earth, you can also publish photographs, official website address's URL link, and other important descriptions.

Hello!

Happy New Year 2007!
