About these notes

Who writes Kapzer Bench Notes and what it covers.

Kapzer Bench Notes is one hobbyist's working notebook: short, practical write-ups on software, home automation, backups and the fine print of the accounts and schemes we all sign up to. Nothing here is a product; it is the stuff I wish someone had told me at the start.

Who writes it

The notes are written under the pen name Raghav Nair. I am a tinkerer, not a certified security professional, and none of this is professional advice. Treat it as a starting point and verify anything important for your own setup.

About this address

From roughly 2009 to 2017 this domain was the personal website of an engineer in India, and for a stretch after that it sat blank. This site is independent and has no connection to that person or their work; it does not continue or represent it in any way.

On the outside links

Some articles link to pages in other languages to show how a kind of document, such as a rebate or membership scheme, is laid out. Those links are illustrations, not endorsements, and some are commercial pages from unrelated industries.
