General Discussion

Is there a database for homework & projects that I'm just not seeing?

I need something to store research data -URLs, text clips, pics (or pointers to the pics), etc.- for several different projects, e.g. 1)Essay: German Lit, 2)Mechanical Engineering, etc.

I need to be able to sub-categorize, for instance, Mechanical Engineering, 1)Drive Gear Box, 2)Mechanism for Automatically Opening Car Door, 3)Electric Motor Controller, 4)Electro-Mechanical Motor Controller, and so on.

Is there a Portable App that can do this?

Thanks!

my company just gave us new laptops and we cannot even plug in a mouse without them checking if for virus first. If I plug in my thumb drive with Portable apps can it be traced or leave some sort of signature that it's been on my laptop?

Topic clarified by mod Tim
was "company computer"

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there anywhere on this site or forum that commercial PortableApps.com-compatible apps can be listed? I have noted the stern warnings about spamming, but it strikes me that folks might be interested in knowing about other apps they can use with PortableApps.com.

Hi,

I'd like to include a free Windows game I wrote but I'm not planning on open-sourcing it. Is that possible?

The game has no ads and it's not spyware or anything like that...

You can find more info at: www.poolrebel.com

Cheers,

Hi All,

I would like to know if these applications can be added to the iPhone? I think they are great and would be a great asset if they can.

Thanks.

it is now coming up on 10 minutes to install PortableApps. is this normal?

Well hello everyone... or rather goodbye everyone!

My situation is as follows: our family is going overseas for three months on mission work. We leave on the 17th of November (next Monday, early) for Sri Lanka, where we are due to stay for one month. Then India, in Hyderabad for 2 weeks, then Kolkata (formerly Calcutta :P) for a month and a half. We get back on the 17th of February 2009.

First of all I wanted to post a brief thank you to John and the team for a fantastic platform which has become invaluable since I started using it a few weeks ago.

I'm now a heavy user of the portable editions of XAMPP (with DTX), Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Skype (using the unofficial hack), KeePass and Filezilla, all on a 16Gb stick with regular backups to a server.

My TB 2.0.0.17 Portable has become crappy, and despite compacting folders, rebuild of .msf files etc., I loose a lot of new emails. Most of my new incoming mails are being merged into spam mails, so it has become increasingly messy and unsafe.

I urgently need an alternative, but there does not seem to be many portable alternatives. As I use several email accounts, and use it for business mails, I do not think Gmail could be an alternative either.

I have considered the option to downgrade to 1.5 in the hope that this might work better, but how do I do that in the portable version?

I'm working at the American Museum of Natural History and am wowed by a portable version of their universe atlas. it's in my suite now. kinda, Google earth for the galaxy.
