Being portable

October 21, 2008 · Filed Under Blog · Comment 

From time to time I need to work onsite at a clients office. This can be problematic to say the least. Not only because I have to eschew my traditional bunny slippers but because I have to leave my command center. Like most people that make their living using a computer, I have a certain setup that I like. All my tools are there and configured just how I like them so when I have to leave, I get a little grumpy about it. Portableapps helps soften the blow. What are portableapps you ask? Well, it’s basically software that turns your USB stick into an operating system that can run certain applications in a portable version. It’s great. Visit portableapps.com and you can download the software and then pick the applications you want to add. I have a two-gig stick that hangs around my neck that has a ton of documents I need as well as OpenOffice, Firefox, a bunch of useful utilities, and, of course, my Texas Holdem game. Good times. Check it out and let me know if it proves useful.
