orochibraru is dead, long live zedensix

If you landed here from an old orochibraru link: yes, it's still me. Same person, same projects, new name.

The problem: I was losing to a cartoon snake

Search "orochibraru" and the internet helpfully decides you meant Orochimaru, the snake guy from Naruto. Every time.

That's the whole issue. A handle you can't find is a handle that doesn't work:

  • People looking for my projects got fan wikis and cosplay instead
  • My site was fighting a 20-year-old anime franchise for page one
  • I was never going to win that fight, and I'm not going to pretend I was

So I stopped fighting and changed the name.

Where zedensix comes from

ZN6 is the chassis code of the Toyota GT86. I own one, I spend an unreasonable amount of time and money on it, and a fair chunk of what I build these days is for it (CAN bus gauges, ECU tuning tooling, that kind of thing).

ZN6, said out loud: zed-en-six. Done.

It's short, it means something to me, and nothing in pop culture is squatting on it. Search for it and you get me. Revolutionary concept.

If it makes you think of "six seven", fuck you.

It's a chassis code. Not a meme. Go outside.

What changes

  • Website: orochibraru.com → zedensix.com
  • Handle: orochibraru → zedensix
  • I also grabbed zednsix.com, because someone will misspell it and I'd rather they end up here

What doesn't

  • The projects. Same code, same people (me), same questionable life choices.
  • Me.

If you had something bookmarked under the old name, update it. If you didn't, welcome, I guess.

See you around as zedensix.
