To piggyback on this comment: anyone know how this domain is pronouced, and what the story behind it is (if any)?



My Japanese is rusty, but it should display as: マリウス "ma" "ri" "u" "su", which looks to be a foreign name (katakana), "Marius." That matches the username on this user's github email address, also at the same domain, which means their email address should be pronounced, "Marius at Marius dot com"

Well done, Marius. Well done.


The literal translation is “mariusu” - I would guess this is the Latin-derived name Marius written in katakana (katakana are generally used for words of foreign origin).
