It’s supposed to sound like “pattern” and was meant to evoke that. It’s meant to refer to sort of “patterns in life”, a sort of interconnectedness that binds us all together and these universal experiences that we all seem to share. Or something like that. There’s probably already a word for it, but whatever, it’s what I’ve been using for internet ages now.
My cat’s name is Shadow. I do a lot of techy things, so “EXE” felt like a cool thing to add. “ShadowEXE” doesn’t flow as much as “ShadowCatEXE”. I also have alt names with DLL instead of EXE, but it’s not as cool.
I do love me a Linux machine, but most of my time is spent in Windows for work… No escape, unfortunately. Plus EXE is easily recognizable from most people, so it just made sense.
It was my username on my porn account on Reddit. I derived it from my not porn account that I also used for other things and people IRL knew. I ended up using this one way more so kept it when Reddit banned me and I came over here.
