What will they think of next?
When I'm having an out-of-apartment experience like visiting fam or friends and such, sometimes I get the urge to check for email or do the other Internet things. Sometimes I just might need to do some other computer stuff with apps that maybe my hosts computer don't have installed. Google Docs takes care of most stuff. Anyway, the idea got me playing around with portable Firefox and it is very cool. Running it from a USB stick makes it a little slow but that's not a big deal to me. I like having the history and such from those sessions, with me when I get home. It doesn't leave a mess on my hosts computers. I can even blog and stuff from the portable browser like I'm doing right now to test the FF 3.0.1 version upgrade I just installed. Now I'm going to sniff some of the other portable apps. Hmmmm, maybe KeePass will help me get rid of that huge list of password stuff I have to keep up with. Then there is TrueCrypt to encrypt and password protect the whole schtick in case I lose it or something. And it's all free like I wish food, water, shampoo, shelter, carz, gas, electricity, doctors and a way to keep the stick syhcronized with an online encryted version of itself that I could zap onto a new drive from any computer in case I lose this one.
