John,

your Portable Apps are absolutely fantastic!!! They helped me so much at my current occupation since I have to travel to the Internet.

Could you think of providing an "All-In-One" Download of ALL the portable Apps in one download - similar to the "Portable Apps Suite", just with all the listed apps?

During all the hecticness (if that's not a word, it is now) of moving servers, updating Drupal and releasing apps, I just realized I forgot to make a post about the new server that PortableApps.com is hosted on. So, without further adieu...

As most folks noticed, the Slashdotting and Digging that PortableApps.com was getting earlier in the year weren't handled very well by our old shared host. The site wound up getting suspended a few times and very slow at others. Many features -- like site-wide searching -- also had to be disabled on a regular basis. I had been looking around for a while at dedicated hosts and what would be involved in terms of cost and ongoing server maintenance. After the overloads started, I began looking much more earnestly and getting some quotes from various providers.

Hey all, I've been doing so many other things lately, that I haven't had time to post here, so it's good to be back Anyway, the real point of this story is that Google has released a spreadsheet that can be accessed from the web. You need to sign up though, as it's a limited test. You have to have a Google Account obviously, but who doesn't have one of those by now?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to post a note to let everyone know I'm back from Russia. I just got in a little while ago and am pretty beat (it's after 2am according to my internal clock). I'd mentioned the trip in-forum and given more details to some via email. I was in Russia for 2 weeks. 1 week in Moscow followed by 1 week in St Petersburg. I was keeping an eye on things from Moscow as I had internet in my hotel. Unfortunately, while in St Petersburg, my home PC hung and I couldn't connect in securely, so I didn't post anything then, though I did peak in on things to make sure everything was working.

First of all I'm looking to buy a USB Thumb Drive to use at work.
I work at a gas station, and when it's slow I'm terribly bored.
There's a computer with a LAN connection.
A couple of my co-workers have said you can get in trouble if it's used for my person use.

Would using a jump drive with apps on it, allow me to surf the net without being detected? I'm sure somewhere they would detect the bandwidth usage... anyway around that?

Thoughts?

Hey John,

POO.org, PTB, PFZ, Portable Gaim and PNVU.
Just thought you'd like to know.
