i would like to see crimson editor on here. although its easy to just install it from the flash drive it would be nice to not have to install it then uninstall it after finishing working with it

Portable Hamachi

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 30, 2006 - 10:51pm

I like to use Hamachi for my VPN needs (for connecting "securely" to VNC sessions, monitoring client uptime, etc). It doesn't appear that the application (still in beta) needs much, if any, modification in order to run portably. Being able to carry around a self-configuring VPN connection in my pocket would be great for finnicky NAT or Firewall.

Can Athera be made portable?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 29, 2006 - 10:41pm

I was looking at Athera the Kompany as a possible portable PIM. It looks like a pretty good replacement for MS Outlook, but admit that I don't know much about it.

I appears to be open source with proprietary plug ins.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Portable File Indexers - Two Questions

Submitted by jkenton on January 29, 2006 - 9:46am

I've been looking for a portable file indexer for quite a while. When I say indexer, I'm thinking of the functions that Google Desktop, Yahoo Desktop and Copernic Desktop do. I'd like to have a self-contained indexer on my USB drive.

In addition, is there any kind of file indexer that can create an index of removable media on a desktop computer? I have 100+ CDs with data on them, and it'd be great to be able to index them all, and have that index available on my desktop. This program would live on the desktop and accumulate index entries from each of the 100+ CDs.

Are there any such things?

CCleaner

CCleaner is already pretty simple (im my opinion), so I don't think that making it portable would cause some major problems. Browsing on a USB stick with Firefox is already pretty portable, but any leftover temp file/registry entries won't get deleted, so porting CCleaner could help clear those out.
