"StepMania is a free dance and rhythm game featuring 3D graphics, dance pad support, and a step editor."

This is the latest intermediate (BETA) release (20070325). The program itself is under MIT license (used to be under GNU) and is open source. Source is located here. In the zip file are (non-copyrighted) sample songs and courses. All EXEs and DLLs were UPX'd by the developers.

My launcher does the following:

ThunderbirdPortable RC2

Submitted by chris0 on April 15, 2007 - 9:30am

Searched and didn't find anything on this....

I'm not sure if this is a Thunderbird issue or a ThunderbirdPortable issue, but the little twirling dealie (that's a technical term) that spins when Thunderbird is thinking (in the upper right hand corner of the window) never stops spinning after you check your mail once. The progress bar at the bottom which displays how far along you are with checking your mail also never disappears and shows 0%.

Not sure what else to say about the problem. Let me know if you need more info.

Comments on Mines-Perfect Portable 1.4 PRERELEASE

As the original Mines-Prefect post isn't accessible any more, I'm starting a new one.
I think this is because of Johns "lock all posts older than..."-operation and maybe a moderator can unlock the original and move my node there.

I like mines and its a shame I didn't discover the potable version earlier. It leaves nothing behind and should be included into the official Applist.

Brutal Chess Portable 0.5.2 Pre-Release 1

This is just a quick n dirty one. Compressed with a stub launcher and the C runtimes moved around. But it's a cool chess program. In 3d. And it's portable. Just hit ESC to bring up the menu to adjust settings, difficulty or exit. It doesn't maintain settings (The app itself doesn't do this yet). And it'll be slow on older PC hardware since it is 3d. But any PC made in the last few years should have no issues with it.

OpenOffice.org Portable 2.2 Pre-Release (Testers Needed)

I've just posted a pre-release of OpenOffice.org Portable 2.2. As with the 2.1 pre-release, this version now includes a long-awaited feature: the ability to use Java from the portable device. This means you can use the OpenOffice.org functionality that depends on Java (Wizards, some Base functions, etc) even from a PC that doesn't have Java installed. (->read more in German)

Thunderbird 2 Release Candidate 1 Bugs

I just tried TB2 RC1 and didn't find any Topic to post my bugs so I start a new one.
I extracted the "new" copy to my desktop and copied my "old" Data folder over.

  1. I love the new look.
  2. Apart from several extensions not being compatible, everything worked.
  3. Only the new talkback extension and the birthday reminder extension worked.
  4. I think, the "use this TB as a default client for:" check at startup should be disabled/removed.
  5. Leaves these folders

A Note Portable

Submitted by Patrick Patience on April 9, 2007 - 6:50pm

NEW VERSION AVAILIBLE!

What is A Note Portable?

A Note Portable is a portable version of the well, the not so popular A Note note taking program. But don't let that turn you away (It's just because no one's heard of it, and therefore aren't apparently trying my portable version Blum ), it's an excellent program that can serve many needs, such as:

  • Making quick notes without the hassle of opening a word processor, text editor, etc.
