I started this blog as the IT Security Blog, but have decided to rename it as Tech Notes as starting July 28, 2010, I decided to ensure that my testing updates are available on this blog for the readers. Though the Blog title uses the terminology - GuruCool derived from Hindi Word - Gurukul as in School, I mean myself, am still learning and there is a lot for me to learn.
