General Discussion

I've pushed an update to Chrome Dev and posted it to the Chrome Portable homepage. As this isn't a supported release really (it's dev branch so basically pre-alpha level software), it doesn't warrant a homepage announcement. However, I have it in the updater so anyone running Chrome Dev and the latest Platform beta will see the update and have it installed.

I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on any other ways to approach this. Of course, Chrome Dev is a special outlier case, so it doesn't really apply to much else.

Has anyone created any PortableApps.com "portableapps_wallpaper.bmp" wallpapers for the wallpaper swapper?

I'm sure by now the more creative of you have created some PortableApps.com themed wallpapers for the Wallpaper switcher.

Would any of you like to share?

Just a reminder that in accordance with Microsoft's software lifecycle, all support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 end today. That means that neither Windows 2000 nor XP Service Pack 2 will receive any further bug fixes or security updates as of right now.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 users should immediately upgrade to Service Pack 3, which is a free upgrade.

I am currently experimenting with the Development Test Resease of the Portable Calibre App.

It is using version 0.7.0 of the regular Calibre software. The latest version of Calibre is 0.7.8. Significant changes appear to have been made. I use 0.7.8 on my desktop computer.

My question: can I safely update the software on the thumb drive? How is the best way to do that? Should I use the update function in the launcher or try to download the .msi file and use that? How do I use the .msi updater if that is the best approach.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I seem to be having problems receiving and sending outgoing mail from thunderbird portable when VPN is up.
What could be the problem? When vpn is on I can not send or receive email.

It gives me the message:
"Connection to server timed out.
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server timed out."

I tried a couple different VPN's and so far only Ultra vpn sends the mail, but again it does not receive it.
It is also Ultra slow.
