Public Service Announcement
We interrupt our regular scheduled programming (okay I lie, there’s no such thing) to bring you yet another public service announcement from Ramblings of DarkMirage:
DarkMirage
and
Dark Mirage
Spot the difference.
You know who you are! And no, it’s not just one of you out there. :|
…You know, I get the feeling that people will start mistyping my nick on purpose now just because I don’t like it.

If it’s like some sort of “blog identity”, I don’t usually mind. :)
A2Q: It’s the spacing, isn’t it? Donmai, donmai…
August 22nd, 2006 at 8:35 pm
Don’t see the difference, D M.

And you there, kwok!
Stop spelling my nick in katakana!
August 22nd, 2006 at 8:47 pm
I’m the same way when it comes to the name of my blog. AnimeLife is one word not two.

use a better nick.

Actually, I noticed the ambiguity between the two.
Here’s what I think happened:
I used OpenDNS to speed up my surfing time and block those ph1s1ng websites. When I tried accessing to DM’s website, I couldn’t manage to connect to this blog. I suspect something was happening to DM’s website. That, or the DNS cache on OpenDNS was faulty.
I realized that OpenDNS has detected the new Dark Mirage (yes, I noticed the space), but realized it was of suspicious character, so redirected me to its search page. Numerous attempts to click on the proper search result link – /websites/www.darkmirage.com-pre/ – only redirected me back to the search page.
Now, OpenDNS redirected me back to the REAL DM’s website.
So now, I can finally realized the almighty power of OpenDNS. Now, everybody, SWITCH TO OPENDNS!
Final note: If I’m wrong, please correct me and disregard my comments.

Kris, Khris, Chris, you name it I’ve been called it..
August 23rd, 2006 at 2:24 am
Well, at least people don’t call you “bowl”
August 23rd, 2006 at 2:50 am
Loool
People calls me ZmmCool, Zmm, Cool or Z (“Zed”) (or by my true name).
But sometime, some [s]stupide[/s] guys mix me up with a “ZeroCool”, a “ZM” or a “ZenCool”… T______T;
So, do you prefer to be miscalled or to be mistaken ?

Are you losing to a horse? Your site is still No.1 on Google for “dark mirage”.
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:01 am
oh well, at least they dont write your name the wrong way almost everytime(i’m japanese, so a part of my name is in romanji…. which brazilian ppl always write suck at writing)
rant : ” Da r k M ir a ge ” >> if u put like this it could be read as one because of spacing …. oh well, that’s all i know… if i did not spend too much time on anime and now… some pangya >>blaming kurogane for that =p >> i could say more about typography(that i got a book about which i haven’t gone past the introduction heh)
