My Portable Apps

Published by Toronto Mike on March 24, 2006 @ 07:41 in Technology

I picked up this 1GB USB 2.0 flash drive last week. I then went to PortableApps.com and downloaded the following:

• Portable Firefox - my browser with my profile
• Portable Gaim - my IM client for YIM, MSN, Gtalk & work Jabber
• Portable Thunderbird - my email client for work
• Portable FileZilla - my FTP client
• Portable NVU - my HTML/CSS editor
• Portable Sunbird - my calendar

Residing on my USB flash drive, these apps leave no footprint on the PC and go with me wherever I go. If I'm in the office, I'm working off this portable drive. When I'm at home, same deal. I can pop this sucker into any Windows PC and use these tools. I've been doing this for over a week now and it's damn slick.

I was using all six apps anyways, so there was a seamless transition to the portable versions. I highly recommend these six apps for their intended purposes. It's a sweet suite.
