Portable Bloggging Software

Submitted by jorgesarcos on April 16, 2007 - 9:13am

I was in need of some portable blogging software, i found Scribefire plugin for Firefox that also works on its portable version ( awesome! ) but i think this is just a simple solution for my needs, i was looking for something more like Windows Live Writer ( hate Microsoft ) that works as standalone app to keep on my thumbdrive. I have googled Scribefire and theres no standalone version of it... while it is... im using the firefox plugin... Sad

I have been looking around for an internet dialer that I can use GreatDialUp on any PC w/ a modem and missing broadband. Want to keep the phone #, user id and password, other settings portable. I found a request for AOL at https://portableapps.com/node/4222 where someone pointed out how AOL was simply a dialer an IE skin... the dialer is EXACTLY what I'm looking for...

Raketu is a service that, among other things, allows free calls to all over the U.S. It is most likely closed source, but I am simply requesting a portable launcher, wrapper, etc (like portable skype, portable google talk, etc...) Located at http://www.raketu.com/en/index.php

Download Manager Please?

Submitted by herroen on April 14, 2007 - 11:38pm

Most of net user need download manager, like me.

It can be flashget, dap, fdm or many others?

Of course firefox has its own download manager, but it can't be dependable.

Many downloaded files stopped, and finally corrupted because of it.

So, I am hoping for a portable download manager.

The portable download manager should be integrated to firefox too.

A Few Requests

I am a computer technician and there are a few programs that I use on computers to either identify the hardware in it or optimize it so that it runs faster.

PerfectDisk:
A disk defragmenter. Either this or a similar program, such as Diskeeper.

DriverHeaven TuneXP 1.5 Final:
An optimization utility. This way I can take it with me and instead of installing it on each computer that I repair, I can run it directly from my thumb drive.
