May be away at the moment. 01:20:55 :( 01:20:58 I meant more testing other people's apps 01:21:44 oh, I don't know. I'm just one of those testers that downloads and only gives feedback if the app doesn't work or something. I don't do like regshots and stuff 01:22:05 And most of the apps I have have been in the beta forums for years now 01:22:31 Such as RegShot Portable or HM NIS Edit Portable 01:22:33 You mean you used to. Since then you've started being a developer yourself. I think you could be a better tester now than you could before. 01:22:57 Scribus, Speccy, Fyre, Maxima and wxDev-C++ are the ones I've got on my list to do at the moment. 01:23:14 I haven't tried any of em 01:23:35 How about Game Booster? 01:24:13 That's the one I'm feelin really good about 01:24:57 oh and SuperTuxCart 01:26:54 Game Booster sounds like it could be interesting. Wonder how safe it is. 01:27:00 SuperTuxKart would be a good one. 01:27:44 You mean like safe as in damaging your computer or like malware? 01:28:19 I think it does something similar to hibernating ("Live hibernation" for the lack of a good term) 01:29:02 I mean safe as in breaking things - in particular, what happens in corner cases like putting the system in standby, or crashing the program, or if the disk it's on is removed from underneath it. 01:29:34 O_o good question 01:30:04 It sounds like it just stops the processes and that sort of thing, so restarting the system would fix it. But still... that would not be friendly. 01:30:42 I have accidentally hibernated my computer while it was still running and I was able to go "back to normal mode" 01:31:32 but removing the flash drive... I'll try that with my 256 MB 01:31:39 *at home 01:31:58 I've put it on my list though, so I'll see how well it behaves. 01:33:15 Ok, thanks 01:34:37 There is a new 2.0 Beta 2 which I should be releasing Sunday 01:35:09 I don't expect I'll get to it before then. I confess, all the others are higher on my list at the moment. 01:35:35 And I've got exams to do as well, so I probably won't get to doing all of those for a month or so. 01:35:42 I'll reshuffle things as I have time though. 01:37:28 oh, don't worry... I have a question for you... Since your summer is at a different time of year, does that mean school is almost out for summer vacation for you? 01:38:46 Public schools (except year 12) finish approximately a week before Christmas. Year 12 has started final exams, they finish almost now. Uni has finished except exams (which start on Friday). 01:45:21 well, I gotta go. 01:46:07 *** Pyromaniac has quit (Quit: Page closed) 02:10:12 back 02:16:45 sry, been offline more than planned and unable to get the new releases out today. long day of vet and unexpected stuff. new releases will resume tomorrow with Geany, Mixx, and more 02:17:15 JohnTHaller: Have you heard anything on Spicebird? I had completely forgotten about it then I saw the post in the forums... Is it dead or just half developing? 02:17:56 Dunno. They did one release back in June. I'm unsure if they are keeping pace with TB security patches, though. And I believe they were thinking 1.0 for an official portable release. 02:18:47 Seems like it has promise...

what was the problem? 19:01:52 afterall they added that popup for a reason 19:02:10 i can't find that reason, since profiles are kept separate 19:02:22 settings are also kept separate 19:02:39 for the desktop version, the way we make the portable version only handles 1 profile at a time, it's just a limitation to the scripting language for the firefox portable launcher 19:03:57 i see 19:05:10 my working scenario is a bit different.....i don't use them on a flashdrive...i just have a few PFF apps installed on my hdd, each one with it's own folder....and I'd really benefit from running some of them in parallel sometimes 19:05:38 is there anything that i could do?
