Well, I guess that would depend on whether your Oliver or Chris

I've used PAL now to make all my portable apps at first because I wanted to get an official release. Now, though, I've used it so much, I have to say, good job chris (and all you contributors).

I think this has to be one of the most complex, open source NSIS program out there (well, in terms of functions and such).

I was checking out the SF site for portable apps yesterday and I saw ya'll have about 100,000 downloads of PAL.

But only 20 or so new developers?

Here you'll find a list of all the apps I've made portable (and I couple I've made from scratch). I try to keep the list as updated as possible.

Official Releases

These lucky seventeen apps got to go official. Hopefully more will follow.

After three dozen development test releases, I got my first official release. Best Christmas gift ever.

Now, I only wish I could see how many downloads I have of Smart Defrag...

As of today, though, I have 12,939 downloads combined from SF.net and MediaFire. So that's cool. I'm also plan on making a ton of portable apps in the future (I was trying to out-flood John, but this month, I'm just getting slaughtered).

Some time over the past couple of days Toucan has had its millionth download Although you can't see it from the stats because you can only seem to get them since February (if anyone knows how to see the old ones that would be great!) Toucan has made it to one million in just under three and a half years, thanks to everyone for their feedback and help along the way, and here is to many more successful years!

I just read OliverK's blog for the PortableApps.com Userbars and that brought up some good old userbar making days I once had, so I decided to make 1 on my own so I present to you all

anyways PChat 2.0 is coming shortly, I would say another 1-2 days before there will be a public tech preview (aka alpha release)

Not much to post. This is a userbar I made a long time ago. I'm releasing it so the community can use it. I still have the source if anyone wants variations of the userbar.

Make a request and within reason I'll edit it and post it. I think I should update this one to say 2.0 at the end :D

Recently, besides developing PAL (I might get PAL 2.1 Beta 1 out today or tomorrow), I've been trying to make testing the major thing I do, rather than producing new apps. At the moment I'm also preparing for exams over the next few weeks, so my progress is slower than I'd like. But then, I also don't get any Uni assignments, which helps.

Here is my current list of existing apps I'm planning on testing and heading towards release if they're ready:

Geany Portable has been in development for over a year and a half now. Almost a month ago, I received what I had hoped was promising news on the forums. I originally posted this comment, made after updating Geany Portable to version 0.19.1:

The question now becomes is it worth it for me anymore to promote Geany Portable on this site with the development splash screen, which makes my app look less polished then it actually is?

Ok PChat 2.0 I kept on saying it and never gave any real details on it's progress, well this is a progress report, thanks to a friend of mine who is more adept at c++ than I am has been assisting me in creating an entirely new interface that isn't dependent on GTK+ but on WxWidgets, so this means 1) PChat will still be cross platformable and 2) we will get a more native look for each operating system it's ported too.
