FreeCol is a turn-based strategy game based on the old game Colonization, and similar to Civilization. The objective of the game is to create an independent nation.
You start with only a few colonists defying the stormy seas in their search for new land. Will you guide them on the Colonization of a New World?

Inssider (alternative to NetStumbler)

Submitted by hm2k on October 7, 2008 - 6:33am

NetStumbler is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection of Wireless LANs.

NetStumbler has had some coverage on this forum before: https://portableapps.com/search/node/netstumbler

However, NetStumbler has it's fair share of issues including: It does not run on Vista, and it is not Open Source.

Enter "Inssider", which was created as an open-source alternative to Network Stumbler.

It's interface is nicer than the similar open-source Kismet.

NetStumbler/Inssider is yet another one of those important network security applications that is a must for any network administrator.

If at all possible, please, please, please add FreeMind to the PortableApps list of applications. I note that you do not have any mind mapping software.

Thanks. I love portable apps.

Portable Address Book

Submitted by marthazim on October 5, 2008 - 2:45pm

Could someone please develop a portable address book with person's name, spouse's name, children's names (up to 10 spaces), business name, business address, personal address, multiple email address, website URL, home phone, business phone, multiple mobile phone, birthday for each person, and notes. Catagories and Sort capabilities for those catagories would also be quite helpful. An import from a spreadsheet, and export to a spreadsheet would be great.

Task Killer Equivalent

Would it be possible for someone to suggest a similar but portable program that does the same thing please?
Basically it is a program that can be used to kill programs that have crashed or become unresponsive quickly.
It really annoys me that windows task manager takes so much longer to kill a program and this does it in two mouse clicks.
It would be good to have a portable one similar becasue at the moment i just use it installed onto a memory stick and it isn't truly portable.

Calendarscope

Since it is not open source nor free - impossible I know.
My question is... BEFORE I get really deep into how it's done:

Do I have a chance to get such a program running from stick?
It has all it's files in one folder
but it really anchors itself deep in the registry.
Registration infos are stored there even after deinstalling.

I bought the prog and like to have it portable,
so can I do this with some tutorial from here or something.
At least a launcher?
