Ok for the past like month I have been going nuts on the Portable Applications and this is an update to what I know have accumalated over the past month. Here is the list:
7-zip (compression tool)
Defygo (encryption/password vault)
EasyPHP (apache/php/mysql on a THUMBDRIVE)
FoxitReader (pdf reader/editor)
Mplayer (kickace standalone mediaplayer)
Portable Abiword (word processor)
Portable Filezilla (ftp client)
Portable Firefox 1.5 (web browser) -- I have placed extension on to my Portable Firefox 1.5 and now firefox officially kicks major but the new extensions are crazy nuts like the IE view tab, FoxyTunes, WebDeveloper, FasterFox, Gspace, and more.
Protable GAIM (IM client)
Portable NVU (html editor)
PsPad (text editor)
Router emulator (router simulation)
VCD (virtual Cd rom utitlity)
Xplorer (different type of file viewer)
Portable OpenOffice (office suite)
Uniform Server
SWI
Portable Opera
This is all on a 512 MB drive with around 117 MB left to spare which isn't bad for how many programs I am packing.
Probably some of my favorites would have to be Defygo, 7-zip, EasyPHP, UniForm Server, Portable GAIM, Portable Firefox, PsPad, VCd, Xplorer, Portable OpenOffice. Theses apps are just like the real thing.
7-zip
As stated above 7-zip is a compression utitlty that has some pretty cool features for the archives that you make. It is a different compression format 7z but it does beat the standard .zip in compressoin ratios. The options are pretty nice you can choose how much to compress the archive, set whether you want to only allow updates and new files, or anything of the sort. It has easy navigation and doesn't take up to much space.
Defygo
This is an application devolped by some friends that will be coming out soon after they work out the bugs and get it going with all the features and looks they want. The website is e-liberty.org you should definatley check it out. Anyway Defygo is a password manager and file encryptiong tool that is portable runs off a Thumb drive. It works well and the encryption works great with AES and Triple DES you can encrypt files so no one can get in. Another cool option to Defygo is the working with the forum portion of the website in order to use Public and Private key style encryption.
Easy PHP
Like it says its PHP, better yet its alos Apache and MySQL on a Thumbdrive that can be run from any Windows computer without being installed on the computer. Straight off the Thubdrive. PHPEasy runs all services from the Thumbdrive. NOw you can work on your projects on any server anywhere. Awesome program.
FoxitReader
This is a standalone pdf reader and allows you to edit the pdf file either by copying and typing extra text onto the pdf file directly. Lightweight and very easy to use. A great deal lighter than Adobe Reader. The best part no installs its just a standalone executible.
Mplayer
Standalone exectible that plays all realplayer files. It also plays other types and most mp3 and music and video files. Cool application.
Portable Firefox 1.5
Probably one of the best applications I have ever used. It works very well. Probably the best thing for Portable Firefox 1.5 is the addons. I can't say enough about the addons right now as I type this I am running Foxytunes, Fasterfox, IE tab, IE view, Web Developer tools, Gspace, Download them all. Foxy tunes allows you to control your default player from Firefox. Fasterfox is a configuration addon that makes Firefox perform and gather pages faster. IE tab allows you to view pages running the IE engine inside of Firefox as a new tab. IE view allows you to set the options that a site may be loaded every time in a IE tab inside of firefox. The web dev tools is a toolbar that checks all scripts on the page can tell you what forms go where. The Get and Post variables on the page. You can edit the CSS of the page and see the changes. Gspace which links with GMAIL and allows you to upload files under 10 MB to GMAIL to use like a extra drive. Download them all is really neat it allows you to make faster downloads from sites by opening up more bandwidth and calling files faster and allowing faster downloads.
Portable GAIM
The messenger client on a thumb stick carrying several different messengers on a thumbdrive. All of them works perfectly and smoothley.
PsPad
A really cool portable text editor with multiple syntax highlighting capabilities.
Portable OpenOffice.org
An entire office suite with almost the same amount of features of Microsoft Office. Some of the features are even better like diretly exporting to a pdf instead of handing it to another application. Open Office has several different mini programs much like Microsoft Office. Writer = Word, Calc = Excel, Impress = PowerPoint, Base = Access, Draw = MS Paint, Math = no equivalent. Open Office is one of the best office suites plus its free if you want to spend the money for $70 dollars you can buy StarOffice which is Open Offices cousin except is directly supported and maintained by SUN.
Xplorer
A exploer.exe replacement type app this allows you to instantly go to where you want on the system with a command prompt with one click. It gives you better file size and tons of information about the files and where they are.
UniServer
Is a WAMP on the go. It fits on a Thumbdrive and can make any Windows machine an instant WAMP. meaning you can code and test anywhere there is a Windows machine and a USB port. Simple files allow for quick startup and shutdown.
SWI
This is an information gathering exe. Fits on a thumbdrive and is a standalone executible. The cool thing about this exe though is that can extract the keys used for products like Microsoft products and it tells all kinds of information about your machine. Just like system information except it gives better detail with more complete findings.
Portable Opera
This is Opera on a thumbdrive. makes life easier because any windows machine with a USB drive can have Opera running on it. great for testing WEb applications across multiple browsers.

Etown is going swell!!!
I thought I would throw an update on the old blog. Right now I am at work and doing pretty well it took just a day and I am back into the swing of things once again. The best apart about this visit is I am doing a bunch of cool stuff. For instance, I changed my alternator in my truck in one hour and 30 mins. Which might be really long but when you are very non car savy. I think its pretty good.
I got the grades back:
ART 121 -- A
MGT 350 -- A
CIS 304 -- A
TSM 343 -- B
TSM 340 -- B FIN 330 -- C
For the term GPA: 3.33
Cumalative as of now: 3.45
(not to shabby dropped 4 points from a 3.49)
If I am not mistaken I think I called this one from day one. Which is sweet ASS, I must be Nostradamus or something.

Portable Apps -- Virtual CDrom portability
Oh yeah once again I am all in to portable Apps. Tonight I was kinda playing around and discovered two things one is PStart (a portable application control panel) which will search your thumb drive then once you install the application portable to your thumb drive it will create a tray icon which you can then run and have the control panel show all portable apps on your thumb drive.
The other thing I found that was really pretty neat is the Virtual Cd rom tool that I use can be used portably, if of cource the sys file that comes with it is placed in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers folder of the machine your trying to use it on. the cool part is once that sys file is dropped you can then use the virtual Cd-rom to load iso images from network drives and therefore never use a cd if you don't want to. This tool is very useful especially if you don't have the CDs or DVDs to burn to. Oh yeah, the tool also loads DVD iso images.
Check it out!!!!

Portable Applications
Ok I love stand alone executables, I also enjoy apps that may have a folder but can work portably off a USB thumb drive. These portable programs bring functionality and make life a little easier. Some Portable apps that I am currently trying are:
All these programs are free and all run off of the USB thumb drive they are nothing to new but they are new to me and pretty kick ass. I mean GAIM on my thumb drive is pretty huge. Another program I am currently working with off my thumb drive that isn't accessible except for a few people is Defygo, a portable password manager and file encrypter. A few of my friends are developing this program and its still in its infancy but looks to be pretty huge. Anyway I will be trying to put up my thoughts on these programs as well as all the other programs I am working with to keep who ever passes by up to date.

Nice Weekend
Even though that next week is finals I decided that a small get away was a neccessasity. This weekend Amber and I went to Buca di beppo, a really nice Italian restuarant that is family style so the portions are huge. Then we went to The Cheesecake Factory, which is probably the best cheesecake I have ever had in my entire life. The food was good Amber looked hot and all and all I had a good time.
Also during the weekend we stayed at my cousin's house (where I stay at during the summer) in Elizabethtown. Next weekend, I go back up to Elizabethtown to begin work over the Christmas break. I am pretty excited about that.
This week is closing down because of finals. It has been a decent semester and it looks like I will be decent grades. Hopefully my grades will look like this:
MGT 350 --- A
ART 121 --- A
CIS 304 --- B
TSM 343 --- A
TSM 340 --- B
FIN 330 --- C
