An important question came up in our call: How's your nick pronounced, @movq? I reckon it is a reference on assembler (I'm not proficient in it), so I'd say "move q", could be totally wrong though.
@lyse I read it just like you, yup. I also associated it to assembler.
Yeah we're all dying in suspense here 😅

@fastidious Same here 😅 -- Except I pronounce it as"m" "oh" "v" "eeek"

@lyse It’s pronounced “Catherine”.

Just kidding. 🥴

Yeah, it’s a reference to the movq instruction. I’ve never said it out loud, though. 🤣 “Move Q”, “mov-q”, something like that.

Now the big question: How to pronounce lyse? 🤔 (I’d go with “lühse”, because uhm, “lice” would be strange.)

@prologic Which also sounds very nice.
@movq I read @lyse as Leese. Maybe I am wrong, but until corrected I am sticking with it!
@movq Hahaha! :-D Ok, cool, thanks clarifying that. Why did you pick that, any cool stories about it? Is it some kind of a special instruction? Yes, exactly! Lyse is prounced „Lüße“: https://lyse.isobeef.org/lyse.ogg
@fastidious Yeah, I believe English doesn't have an "ü" sound, so "ee" as in "cheese" is the closest match I can ask for. ;-) In fact the Swabian dialect also replaces "ü" by "i" (English "ee"), so real Swabians also butcher my nick. :-D
@lyse There – kind of – is a story.

I sometimes write x86_64 assembler just for fun. It’s rare, but it happens. In 2019, I had quite a bit of wrist issues, so I couldn’t type a lot. I still went to work, so, well, I still had to type a couple of hours every day (which is *a lot*, if you think about it).

During that time, I had a little pet project where I wrote a simple grep in asm:

https://uninformativ.de/git/grep.asm

Skim through the code and you’ll already see a ton of movq instructions. It’s a very basic and common instruction.

The punchline is: I wasn’t really able to finish this project (due to those wrist issues), but I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wanted to. So I put the keyboard on the floor and wrote like 50% of that code using my feet. Yes, you read that correctly. 🥴 Yes, I am crazy. And this somehow got stuck in my head. movq movq movq movq movq movqmovqmoqvmom … I was quite literally dancing it. 🥴 💃 When I got fed up with my previous nick name, I searched for a new one for quite a while, but couldn’t find anything good. So I just chose movq, because it was floating around in my head anyway (and I already had the domain). 🤷

@movq

> So I just chose movq, because it was floating around in my head anyway (and I already had the domain)

When I go to https://movq.de/, I get:

> Nothing to see, move along

You should have written:

> Nothing to see, movq along

😂
Now that we have that sorted out, I wanna hear your back stories. 😁

@movq I chose mine in 2005, when I started playing World of Warcraft (my main was a rogue). Mostly because I tend to be pedantic on the things I do. My son uses it now on his many online games. 😂
Well my original nickname (different from my actual first name) was "cikarin3" - reference to the čikarí squirrel and my favorite number, back than I joined the community around Dishonored Wolf, so I started using a pixelated wolf as my avatar, that later evolved into the current shiba-looking inugami mascot and was using all kinds of canine related nicknames, or just the word canine/dog in different languages, so it eventually just stuck to me and I became "The Canine".

There are also other two not that used canine related nicknames CAW (short for "Canines Always Win") and YOTC (short for "Year Of The Canine" and a reference to the other fancy sunglasses emotes, that are usually called "Year Of The...thing") and as I said many other canine related jokes. 🙃
@movq I heard playing bass with your toes gets you in the zone fast and good. I say you are ready for it! 😊
@movq That's a nice story! 😂 Wish I had a nice story for why I chose prologic 🤣

@prologic I bet it was because you are a Logic Movement supporter. Hence pro-logic. Or maybe it is because you are a logical professional? Hmm, or maybe because you like to program in Prolog (the ic at the end is intelligent coder). 😅
@fastidious Haha 😂 it was a long time ago and I don’t remember 🤣. I smashed two words together when I wa much younger than I am now programming logic
