General Discussion

Just wondering, what do you guys use Xampp for, why would you need a webserver on your usb-stick?

This is another good site to find open source software.

What can I use to secure my USB drive in case of lost or theft?
If I put my passwords in the KeePass portable and my USB det lost/theft, all my information will be available for other users.
How can I put a password to the whole USB?

I was wondering if there was a way to place a folder on the main PA menu. I would like to place it on the right hand side along with the folders for Documents, Music, Videos, etc.

I am not sure if something like this can be done, or if there is a limit to how many times you can do this.

Thanks for the help,

SourceForge.net is moving data centers so there will be times when downloads do not work today.

any autoupdater that can allow auto updateportable apps?

I added several accounts to Pidgin and some extensions to Firefox 3 on my usb flash drive. I safely removed the drive and upon reinserting the drive the next day, I noticed that my accounts were not there and my extensions had vanished. What could be the cause of this? How could I repair this? My drive is formatted as FAT32 and I am able to save documents and other files. My programs, however, will not save their settings.

Hi all,

I've been working on a skin for the Mibbit IRC client, which can be embedded into webpages. Mibbit uses Javascript and AJAXy type things, which makes it very fast, and means you don't need to have Java/Flash, or a fullblown client. I think that this would be a good option for support, and from other discussion on this channel, I believe that John agrees.

Without further ado, here it is. Set up to go straight to irc.freenode.net, #portableapps, and set up with my skin.

Hi all, I have been playing around with trying to recreate the password logon feature that came with my flash drive (SanDisk cruzer, U3 software) where they have the usb drive partitioned. I have tried to use several programs to do this. One actuall killed my computer, gave me a unrecoverable “Unmountable Boot Volume” blue screen error when I tried to restart windows

I just wanted to know if anyone has had better luck with partitioning a usb drive under windows?

Hey John, Me and a friend was starting a website, I noticed you have drupal installed, We got started on drupal a few weeks ago, it's no painless but it's ok. I'm a bit curious how your setup is. What modules do you have installed? What is the best theme to modify as your own? And how do you manage your content, do you use templates?

Thanks.
