My FF runs slow because each time I plug in my USB it downloads the update automatically, the problem is that even if I install it the install does not work and it just resets each time.

Is there a way round the update, like installing it on the USB itself? Or do I have to wait for an update from the PA guys?

I stumbled across a Pagerank checker (http://www.pagerank.net) and I ran a check. Here's what I found:

http://www.portableapps.com has PageRank 0/10.
http://www.portablefreeware.com has PageRank 5/10.

Need to optimize Google or something...

This is just a thought, but...

Eclipse could be made portable, with references to a JRE-on-a-stick, could it not? Then we could package a version for download with a launcher, and include the NSIS IDE for Eclipse

What do you think?

Just a heads-up to all...

My current shared webserver ended up blacklisted on a number of spam lists after another user installed some insecure scripts and a spammer abused them. So, things were a bit wonky for a couple weeks. I manually went through and re-sent the 100 or so subscribe and account requests that bounced back. If you haven't yet received it, just re-subscribe to the newsletter or request a new password for the account your signed up for and you should get it.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Does anyone use their portable applications as their PRIMARY applications?

My secondary PC is getting on in years.
As an experiment I was considering replacing it with a low-end PC and running all my portable apps from my flash drive, if possible.

I don't want to boot from the drive, simply run my apps from it.

Does anyone here use their flash drive in such a manner, and if so, how goes it?

Does anyone know of an open source tool to secure my flash drive and still use Portable Apps?

I've found a few that are "vault" type tools, but I can't run the apps from within them.

I'd really just like to password protect the drive or a folder on it.

Thanks for helping a newbie.

Hello,

This is the wife of Les. I have logged in with my user name but when I do, I get the info of JJ (using just the initials of the real name, from the F Islands - which is not my location.) Something wrong here

Greetings,

My wife registered me. I am able to login from my computer. She cannot login as me from her computer. She then registered (from her computer) under her own name and cannot login from her computer.

1. She can login as me from "my" computer, she cannot from hers.

2. She can login with her registered name and password from my computer but the information she gets is someone else's location (i.e. she is getting someone elses information?) She cannot login from her computer.

The bottomline is there is something wrong with forum logins/registrations. Some wires appear to be crossing. There is more but this is enough for now...

Any suggestions for a portable screen capture utility other than MWSnap?

Does anyone know of a good notepad-come-outliner. Something similar to Keynotes that will run from a USB.

Cheers.
