Portable Applications

The PC I was using last night at uni crashed during the practical exercise. As the environment at uni cleans the state of the computer with every re-boot I lost the extensions I'd added to firefox and the files I'd downloaded to the desktop.

This made me think: dang!... and then hmmm... I should get some applications onto a usb pen so that don't have to add extensions to Firefox every time I'm in the labs at uni.

I just thought I'd post a quick link to PortableApps.com
which is a site that has applications suitable for use straight from your usb stick / pen / device.

I plan on downloading some of the applications there. At the moment I think I'll get copies of Firefox, Filezilla, Putty, and Notepad ++, so that if my PC crashes again it won't cost me so much time.
