The Pakistani Spectator

Would you please tell us something about you and your site?

I’m not in the industry of webdesign/development. However, as I’m very curious on it, I start learning from books and websites. My professional industry is the Maritime Intermodal Transportation / Logistics, and I’m working for Evergreen Line as Line Manager for USA trades. I own two websites, the Flash Enabled Blog and The Tech Labs, all webdesign / development related. At Flash Enabled Blog I try to feature the best how to articles on some design and development technologies as also showcase people works, while at The Tech Labs I post quality and extensive tutorials on Adobe Air, Flash and Flex.

Do you feel that you continue to grow in your writing the longer you write? Why is that important to you?

Definitely yes. Once, a professor told me “Bear always in mind that, what you learn in the college just counts for 25% to be successful on your daily tasks, the experience are the other 75%”. So, longer I write or develop new things, more skills I will be gaining. The experience we get on writing is very important as it can determinate the popularity you can achieve with your readers. Moreover, it is also important to know which kind of people reads your blog, so you can adapt your write to the audience. Although, as I’m Portguese my English skills are not so high as others, and I prefer to write with simple terms in order to be easier to everyone to get the point.

I’m wondering what some of your memorable experiences are with blogging?

One of the best things I got while blogging, was to receive comments and messages from people I would never imagine they would read some of my posts like some Adobe’s Evangelists. People that I would never be able to contact without blogging.

What do you do in order to keep up your communication with other bloggers?

I maintain some e-mail contacts with some of the bloggers I like.

What do you think is the most exciting or most innovative use of technology in politics right now?

I believe that the best shot of any politician is the internet. With the internet any person is available 24/7 and can hear the people interests.

Do you think that these new technologies are effective in making people more responsive?

For sure.

What do you think sets Your site apart from others?

Quality and useful information (for free).

If you could choose one characteristic you have that brought you success in life, what would it be?

I don’t thing I’ve success in life. I think that I work daily to achieve it. When I die, then people will know if I was successful or not.

What was the happiest and gloomiest moment of your life?

There are three moments that I will never forget, my marriage, and the days when my daughter and son born.

Do you think [the use of Twitter and other social networking tools by politicians] is bandwagon jumping or what?

I think that social networking are for everyone. Politicians have their space too. But you only go there if you want.

The Vlogs.
