General Discussion

Okay, today I decided to do a search in my registry for traces of a program, and I found one in the "ARPCache" key; can this, technically, still be considered a registry key entry? In other words, not portable?

I use ppf. One day it stop useing my themes and extensions.i reinstall ppf, day later. Did it again. Can someone tell me what happen?

Just wanted everyone to know, I will be away for a few days. My new daughter decided she wants to enter this world alot sooner than she was supposed to so I will be with my wife in the hospital.

If there are any problems with the Registry Rapper, please post it in the beta forums. Other than that, I will talk with you all in a little bit.

Thanks,

Portable Apps remind me of how well I got along before MS forced the Windows Registry on us. And how much better I'm going to get along as I slowly migrate to Registry-free apps where possible.

So my question is: When would we ever want to use a standard app on a fixed drive if there is a Registry-free version available?

the site is whole in polish, they are developing small and very optimized usenet news+ e-mail client that can run on a very old computer

as they say this thing will be released soon, and will be freeware

I just started actually looking at the launcher code with SciTE, and it seems that the way you set it up, you only have to edit a few lines to change what program it launches. You still have to resolve paths and things, but the way it is set up is genius!

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.
