This is my "attic" of technical notes. A tech note typically comes into being when I try to solve a problem and find myself spending considerable time to hunt down the right answer by sifting through the vastness of the Web. The essence of what I find occasionally condenses into a tech note for the purpose of being shared here. All information is provided "as-is" (I appreciate corrections of errors).
