Livejournal Client?

Submitted by Overlord11001001 on May 9, 2007 - 12:03pm

Does anyone know of a portable Livejournal client? My blogging software is about the only major hole I have on my USB stick's portable apps setup now - I'm currently using Livejournal For Windows but this one can't be portable because I'm not sure where it's storing the login data for LJ after digging around in the install folder on my desktop machine for it.

It also doesn't help that this app hasn't been updated since 2003, it's a rather decrepit client. Blum So, anyone any ideas...?

Hello,

For my work, i'm very often on hotel... I want to work from there on a project, but i cannot install any software. So i'm looking for portable appications...

I found firefox and others for saving my setting locally, so i don't have to set up the VPN to my compagny...

Now i'm looking for the folowing programs:
- a portable cvs client.
- a portable winmerge (or related) (I found it by WinPenPack. is this trustable?)

Does it already exists or can i create one?
I absolutely cannot install any software on my laptop and there may not be settings saved to the harddisk...

KQ (console-style RPG)

Submitted by paladin225 on May 8, 2007 - 1:35pm

KQ is a "console-style role playing game," according to the website, which I just discovered in Ubuntu's Add/Remove programs. It's crossplatform, and I believe these are the two things that need taking care of:

  • The "working directory" has to be passed to the executable, so it knows where to find data. To get it to run after you install it, you have to modify the launcher shortcut so that the "Start in" field points to the folder the executable is in; if you don't, it squawks and claims that a required file doesn't exist.

Trillian Now Portable

Its been requested and discussed, thought folks would appreciate an update.
A new version of Trillian was just released, and it appears to now be portable.
Just run the "standard" installer, click on the "More Options" button on the path selection screen. Uncheck the Add Desktop Shortcut, Add QuickLaunch Shortcut, and Add Uninstall Information boxes. Point the path to \PortableApps. Complete the install.

I tried this with a new install as well as "upgrading" my U3 hacked version.
