Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection

Submitted by AppleIIGuy on August 28, 2008 - 10:46pm

On his web page he has over 27 small single user puzzle games which are freely available under the MIT license http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/doc/licence.html#lic...

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ this is where the games are located.
And I believe these games dont leave any settings behind or require and files from the HD.

Firefox Portable Pre-start proxy switcher

Submitted by porterj on August 28, 2008 - 8:35pm

Hi,
I am looking for a utility that will allow me to select a proxy BEFORE I start FFP.
I have the Firefox QuickProxy add-on installed but it only allows switching after FFP is running. I'm looking for something will allow me to select the appropriate proxy, which changes the FFP proxy settings, then start FFP.

Any such utility available?

Thanks.

I am using a program called jconvert from sourceforge which converts different units of measurements, however I cannot make it work through the portable apps menu as I have done with other applications. Is this because it is a .jar file and is there a way to make it work through the menu like other programs or can it be made into a portable app?. Normally all I do is put it into a folder, of the same name, in the PortableApps part of my flash drive but this doesn't work, meaning i have to find it through MyComputer.
