A few important announcements: Three (time limited) freebies coming to dotTech and Ashraf going on vacation soon

May 10, 2010 50 Email article | Print article

Do you hear that? No? Me neither; that is the new-dotTech-article sound that you don’t hear. I know I haven’t posted an article if a few days; the semester is ending and I wanted to focus on my studies so I don’t fall flat on my face because I got distracted in the end, hence I haven’t posted anything since last Thursday. I do apologize for that, and hopefully I will start to post again in the next few days. However, I first wanted to take this opportunity to make a couple of announcements:

  • I have been in negotiations with a few developers to bring more freebies to dotTech. Currently, if things go according to plan, dotTech will be featuring three freebies in the next 1-2 weeks:
  1. Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox
  2. Glary Utilities Pro
  3. Paragon System Backup 2010

All three will only be available for free for a limited amount of time (varying from 24-72 hours) so be on the lookout for them. I highly suggest you consider subscribing to dotTech via e-mail, RSS, or Twitter so you don’t miss out on any offers.

  • Soon my summer break will start. For summer vacation I will be going on vacation and will be away from dotTech (I don’t really see myself posting new articles while on vacation). Just a heads up; if you subscribe to dotTech via e-mail, RSS, or Twitter you will know exactly when I am back.

That is all for now.

Any questions? Want to flame me? We have a comment section for that.

    Will you still moderate and post articles that I submit during your vacation? I hope so.

    Mr. Boss

    @Adrian: I will delegate a responsible entity to take over my duties, no worries.

    @Caleb: Charles, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. (Quote from X-Men for those that don’t know.)

    @Llulu: Does that mean you should read me my Miranda rights? Maybe I need a lawyer.

    On a serious note, just visiting some relatives, nothing too major. Where am I go? I would rather keep that to myself – I do value my privacy.

    Mr. Boss

    @pallen: Ashraf doesn’t send postcards – postcards send Ashraf. (Reference to Chuck Norris joke… hahaha.)

    @Everyone: Oh and I promise I will announce the winners and send out the license keys for the recent AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter giveaway before I leave.

    It’s good to try to see the forest away from the trees every once in a while. Have a safe and enjoyable vacation. Cheers

    It’s true we all depend on you a bit too much, but that’s our fault, not yours. :) We will live. We’ll miss you, but we can handle it. I hope. lol:) As long as you come back. Without dottech I’d be really upset. You do a needed service! :) Best of success’s on tests, & have fun. Hugs, Skye

    Thank you for the gifts that you bring to us! As always you will be missed and I hope that someone (like that Borg friend of yours) Locutis will step in to post GAOTD evaluations. Travel safely and return to us safely and please remember to LET US KNOW YOU ARE SAFE FROM TIME TO TIME. The last time you left I was worried more and more with every passing day. Just send a post (how about some pics?) and for something different, I want some recipes of the food there. I love exotic food and I’d bet the Borg would eat it too….:D

    Wot wot? Ashraf going on vacation ? Looks like we’re done for mates, 1st icelandic volcanoes, euro collapses, boms in Times square, and now the final sign of the apacolypse – jolly old dot tech tossing us out like babys with the  bathwater. Enjoy your indefinate luxury stay in the Four Seasons penthouse while we fight off hungry nazi borg zombies and scavenge for stale crumbs, Ashraf! And farewell, cruel world!

    I think that Locutus and Karen will be responsible enough to handle your duties. How long will you be on vacation? 2 weeks?

    Ashraf, enjoy your studies and the summer vacation.
    Any possibility of giving those 30 licenses away before you go away? (
    dotTech Exclusive: 30 free licenses of AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter 3.0.0!)

    Vacation, vacation again, always on vacation.

    I hate vacations … only those of the others.

    Have a good time.
