# Why the name Hyteck?
|
|
I am not very good at finding names I really like.
|
|
My nickname changed several times, I was never able to stick to one.
|
|
As hard as finding a nickname was finding a domainname for me.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless I really started to like the name Hyteck. The idea came during
|
|
a hackathon in Tübingen where two friends and I worked as a team on a project to help
|
|
elderly adults drinking. We the decided on the teamname HyHack (Hy for Hydration).
|
|
|
|
What we first did was not so High - Tech (I will post about this sometime), yet we called it that.
|
|
|
|
I later chenged the Tech to Teck which is a local castle (my hometown is called Kirchheim under Teck) that in the german
|
|
pronounciation is a Homophone of Tech.
|
|
|
|
The Hy stayed as I always had a close connection to water.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I feel like I overexplained this a bit, so poor you if you read till the end.
