About dotTech
dotTech Origins
Origins of dotTech lie in Ashraf’s youthful obsession with websites. Ever since Ashraf started using the Internet, he has been fascinated with websites. When he was a kid he would try to weasel his way into “co-webmaster” positions for “DBZ RPG” websites with random people he didn’t even know outside of their screen names. Once he gained some years and learned the ways of the web, he started creating websites on his own. dotTech was the unintended result of Ashraf helping his friend with a project of his.
In 2008 Ashraf’s friend asked for him to help build a website for a local mosque. After building the website, Ashraf’s interest in websites was rekindled and he started a crusade of registering domains which – the hope was – would eventually be converted to websites. This is how PoliticallyMotivated.net was born. PoliticallyMotivated.net started off as a joke name for a non-political blog. PMnet started off slowly with Ashraf writing personal articles only. However, after Ashraf discovered Giveawayoftheday.com, he started more of a technical blog by writing daily reviews on software. As PMnet gained traction and started to find its small place on the internet, Ashraf realized that the name PoliticallyMotivated.net was no longer funny and instead was hindering the growth of his blog. So, dotTech.org was bought and PMnet was converted into what today is dotTech. Since then Ashraf has not looked back, developing dotTech into a popular and authoritative source on all things 1s and 0s (okay, almost all things).
