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.
