John T. Haller pictureAs today is my "kidneyversary", I wanted to again make a shameless blog post to remind everyone of the importance of being an organ donor. As some long-time PortableApps.com users know, I donated a kidney to my father 16 years ago today. Over the years, I've coached a few people though the process as well.

John T. Haller pictureIt's been a couple years since I last posted about this, but I felt it was worth revisiting today (apologies for the pseudo-repost). I wanted to again make a short blog post to remind everyone of the importance of being an organ donor. As some long-time PortableApps.com users know, I donated a kidney to my father 15 years ago today. Over the years, I've coached a few people though the process as well. If anyone is in a position where you're thinking of donating to a friend or loved one, I'm more than happy to share my experience and advice.

Hi all. I'm not sure who actually sees these blog posts, but I figured that I should do an update as to why none of my apps have been updated recently.

Short version: life offline has been really good to me and such, but it's left me with little time to devote to PortableApps.

Praise, Accolades and Thanks To John T. Haller

I know it has been sometime since I last wrote in my blog. Sorry all, I have tried to maintain my current apps and soon as I can restart development....That being said The real reason O wrote tonight is to say a great BIG thanks to John for all the work he has done given his recent injuries and especially for his none stop tireless and thankless sleepless days and night this past week in releasing the newest greatest PortableApps Platform to date.

The PortableApps.com website and updater/app store database download experienced 2 hours of unscheduled downtime today due to a hardware issue. The box was pulled and RAM, CPU and chassis were swapped to determine which was causing the kernel panic. Everything is working again now. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
