General Discussion

I want to be able to surf the internet without worry about the webpages downloading information onto my hard drive. I was wondering I using PortableApps could keep that from happening. My thought is that all the webpage information should be downloaded onto my flash drive rather than my hard drive. Am I understanding correctly how this works.

The search feature of the site is currently not functioning.
This is probably due to yesterday's outage.

As I think folks expected it to be slow and not down I note it here.

It's very odd - I thought at first it might be my USB drive being corrupted - so I ran multiple chkdsk's - and after "reinstalling" the updater beta tonight, I get the same errors - when i click on abort update, obviously it ends the program, but when I click no to close the updater, it says that the MD5 checksums of (insert any program here) do not match - your download may have been corrupted. Package (insert any path and *.paf.exe deleted.) any ideas as to why this is happening - or has been happening for quite some time?

We had a site outage today from approximately 5pm EDT (NY time) to midnight. This was due to the same issue as the last outtage, the live feed / battery / generator switching equipment that failed during the severe storms near our data center in Texas last week.

Today's issue caused a complete and sudden power loss on the database server which corrupted the database on which Drupal runs. There was some concern that we may have to restore to last night's backup, but we were able to restore the affected tables after a few hours of work.

I have tried searching on the following two questions but there does not appear to be a straight answer ..
1 - On the top of the screen, the portableapps.com name and logo - can this be replaced with one of my design? I know I can click on the right but that is not what I want.
2 - On the menu, Music, videos, pictures eyc - can I replace those with different folders as I do not use music etc but have other folders I would like to use?

Thanks for any help or insight.

BTW - When is version 2 due out - Is there a date yet?

Our live support is now no longer working, due to Freenode deciding to ban the use of mibbit of their network. See here for more information: http://freenode.net/news.php

This means that:
A. We have to find a new client to use for out live support (meaning all our regulars who use mibbit have to get used to something new)
B. We have to switch to a different server (not really feasible either imho)

As you can understand, both aren't things we wanna do.
Either way, we need to fix this, and fast, as for now live support is no longer accessible through our page for it.

opinions anyone?

hello,
i have been asked by my chief in my departement (university) to create a sponsored pendrive with portable apps. the usb key will be branded with the university logo and given for free during meetings etc. maybe in future they could be sold in the university shop. He also asked to personalize the logo (icons), homepage of firefox etc with university logo etc...
Can i do this with portable apps suite? it look like gpl allow it, but i didnt understand what to do with portable apps logo: i will for sure give credits to portable apps, but can i change logos, icons and so on?
