Tech Notes Now Has a New Home at Teck.in

Dear Readers and Subscribers,
Sree’s Tech Notes now has a new home http://teck.in/. You might have noticed this change in the last few days. I prefer not to use the WWW part, which is redundant in almost all domains.
I have opted for this new domain because:
- Teck sounds like Tech, which is a meaningful domain to host my Tech Notes. Tech.in, Tech.com, etc. are already taken. I guess Teck.in can be considered as a web 2.0 name!
- Teck.in is short and simple.
- I love the .IN Top Level Domain for India and wanted to have one.
- I wish not to use the WWW. part of the blog. Simply using http://teck.in/ seems good and meaningful to me.
- The old location http://www.ananthapuri.com/blog/ is too lengthy to remember.
- Ananthapuri.com is mainly a regional portal. It does not suite for a Technical blog. It was fine during the initial phases of blogging. Now Sree’s Tech Notes is 2 years old and it is time for an upgrade!
Since I have been using Feedburner feed, there is no change required for the subscribers. I also have a new feed URL http://teck.in/feed.xml, redirected to the Feedburner feed.
I am planning to write in detail the steps I followed for the blog migration. Coming soon!
Next step is to design a good logo for Teck.in. Oh yes, I am very poor with PhotoShop and similar software. Anyone to help me out? Will be rewarded!

Hello Sree,
Very interesting blog but I was very disappointed at how Ananthapuri.com looks both with respect to usability and looks
. Any plan on re-working that site?

Swami.
