Putty (file config) 0.3.2

Submitted by KyosukeAoki on June 23, 2008 - 12:12am

A while back, I stumbled upon a version of PuTTY that used file configurations instead of registry configurations (http://jakub.kotrla.net/putty/). I've been using this configuration for a while for local use, but now that I'm getting on the road, I'm loading up my flash drive with Portable Apps, including PuTTY Portable. I've noticed that Putty Portable uses registry keys to store info, and I was wondering if it was possible to store it in separate files for ease of editing, and to reduce fragmentation and corruption.

Pidgin > Miranda

Submitted by statement on June 6, 2008 - 1:37pm

I used to be a fan to miranda, ironic as it may i'm hardly on any chats as it is, i was just testing out miranda and it has tons of configurable options, and seems to be more advanced but it's downfall is that it's difficult and it's rather awkward to use. i remember playing with gaim (before pidgin) and found it way too simple for my tastes, and bulky. i've just tried out the latest version of pidgin and on first load it ask for a username/protocal i chose irc, right off the bat i was connected, and checking out irc channels, again, great test run.
