General Discussion

I am not very good at writing long posts so I will keep this one short. It will consist of two parts, a confession (if you can call it that) and a status report.

The Confession

I'm 15 years old. Now this may not seem like a problem but some communities just don't like it so I thought I'd mention it before I become a bit of a 'feature' round here.

Status Report

Here we go on the status report

Program Name - Version - Features - Date

Profile Sync - 1.2 - Adds cache options - Next two weeks
PortaLog - 2.0 - Adds email facility - Next month or so (whenever nm35 can help)
Portable Firefox with Sync - 1.0 - Complete re-design - Next week

Hello,

First of all i like all the programs and would like to use them, but i am constantly having problem with starting them up. They are totally not working for me @ my work and home. Always when i start up i get the following popup:

Sorry that the error is in dutch, but i couldn't get an error in english, i hope you know what it is, cause i really would like to use these programs.

Thank you in advance.

Robert.

Are you going to release the Drupal theme or not?
Or can I know which theme you based it on?

These devices are getting to be affordable, small, and high capacity:

I own one of these and I love it. It really is as small as it looks, and it keeps well in a small pouch in my backpack. I bought it from the WD Store but I'm sure you could find it 40% off at some discount store online (although if it breaks, good luck getting any help from them.)

For comparison, it's about two thumb drives thick and one and a half thumb drives long. Depends on the size of your thumb drive of course. I haven't (intentionally or accidentally) given it a physical beating to test its ruggedness, since it is an actual hard drive and not a stick of flash RAM...

I just want to reccomend this app. Its fully portable, only 2 files, about 3mb total, and plays more or less what vlc does and does a better job imo. MPUI is the 'mpc' like frontend for mplayer. I reccomend playing files by just dragging them on MPUI.exe or on the open window. Try it

Is it possible to put games on a USB flash drive?
I was thinking about Wesnoth, Civilisation or an old Age of Empire.
If yes did I need to modify it or just install and deplace?

hey guys i know some people were interested in small and portable firewall, and i think ive found the answer. Winpooch is Free and OpenSource and can be configured as a firewall. I have posted a guide to Neowin and Msfn that shows how to block everything from connecting/listening to the internet and how to add firefox as an exception.

view it here:

My apologies for the recent outtage. It seems my webhost accidentally deleted a configuration file sometime after 8:30am today that made most of the site inaccessible. (404 errors) I was at the hospital all day and was not aware of it until 11pm tonight when I fixed the error.

Regards,
John

Any developers available on IRC or similar to discuss NSIS scripting for portable apps? The main topics I'd like to discuss are RegRapper progress and the %USERPROFILE% environment variable.

I'm sitting in #portableapps on irc.freenode.net if is available. Perhaps an official channel would be helpful?

Hi!
I just found a page with nice cmdline tools for ejecting (RemoveDrive), changing driveletter (ReMount) and deleting mountoints (DelMountPoint).
I'm evaltuating them at the moment but it looks like something i've been looking for some time (cmd-line and fast!).
