Request Apps

Summary: I am looking for a portable app, that can browse both http and https sites, anonymously, through sites that do not log personal info (such as browser type, site visited, number of clicks, etc).

I have been a great fan of http://www.ninjaproxy.com and http://proxy.org for many months since the Sri Lankan government banned several sites that were considered to be a "threat to national security".

I did a search here to see if anyone had mad this portable and I found three threads which are from 2006 and can't accept comments which is why I am starting this one. I've seen some extraordinary fractals from this program and there is already a "portable" version available - see link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis7x/files/

it would be very cool if some ambitious and talented developer made this in our favorite portable format.

thank you.

I just started to use PortablePythonScripter, which is an interpreter.
Dummyquestion: why can't I find a Python compiler which is able to create standalone .exe files for Windows ?

I'm using Google calendar to take my calendar with me and google have done a good job for this.

Is it possible to install Google sync to and run from a USB stick without changing anything on the host computer? The challenge is that my employer doesn't allow installing software so I use portable applications. Does it need to be really open source in order to make a portable version? If not, anyone know what has been done on the host PC and can we have all those dll's..etc. put into the same directory for execution without installation?

Many thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

Hey folks!

Would be cool to have a portable version of MediaInfo.
Any plans to make it portable?

More info here: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/

It says:
"It is free software (free of charge and free
access to source code: GPL or LGPL licence)"

Hello all,
I came across this nice 2D CAD program that is in beta stage: LibreCAD. It seems really nice, just what a need for the occasional diagram. Any how I was wondering if this could be made portable? The sourceforge page is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/librecad/ I haven't contacted the developers directly... I suppose I could try.
Cheers all,
Quinkink.

Hi, I was wondering if there is an application available that will let me combine multiple flash games into one portable exe. Examples of this would be Cartoon Network and Kids Games 2. I havent been able to find anymore of these so I would like to customize my own games into one exe.

I would love to have Musicmatch Jukebox portable. Its one of those wonderful music players that has a good interface and had some very good functions like super tagging, etc.

Am not sure the software restriction policy is valid for Musicmatch now. Because it was bought by Yahoo and they stopped it completely and ruined many of us. You can just make a portable version of a basic one so that if people who have real licenses can use it as a full version.

Looking for reply soon.

I’ve been following the portable apps movement for a couple of years and it has been great – specially the open-source, OSI certification scene.

One can presently choose to assemble its preferred work environment, carefully tuned to his/her heart’s content, including a (fairly diverse) office, internet, multimedia and security implements galore, plenty of unproductivity apps (seems they are called "games") and all manner of tools to put Batman’s belt to shame. And then one can carry it around in a memory stick ... err, or maybe a full DVD...
