IRC Log from 2010-11-20
00:01:52 <Paul__> thanks for checking that out, Chris
00:02:44 <Paul__> most likely it's something on my end, which is what I wanted to confirm, before spending a lot of time troubleshooting a problem known on the other end
00:03:08 <Paul__> ... and, yes, just on http://portableapps.com/
00:03:44 <Paul__> if I fetch a sub-page, from my history (like the Opera page), no issues
00:04:07 <Paul__> but when I go to the home page, it wants to download the file portableapps_com (note the underscore)
00:05:14 <ChrisMorgan> No idea what could be happening. It shouldn't.
00:05:23 <Paul__> yup!
00:05:58 <Paul__> I'm fairly sure it's not malware-related...
00:06:34 <Paul__> ... I have an updated, commercial AV installed, and a whack of other security measures (I'm a security professional myself), so I dunno
00:07:18 <Paul__> mebbe I'll just use Chrome, or FF, or Opera to access PA :P
00:07:44 <alyx> (The real question here, why would you be using IE in the first place? :P)
00:07:58 <Paul__> lol
00:08:02 <Paul__> it's a corp thing
00:08:22 <Paul__> ... and, an "oscar meyers" thing
00:08:53 <Paul__> "fresher, 'coz more people eat them... more people eat them, 'coz they're fresher!"
00:09:55 <Paul__> though IE rates low on Acid3, webmasters make ammends for its shortcomings, and more things actually work better on IE... just... because :X
00:11:01 <Paul__> ... but, not here - dem's da breaks!
00:11:11 <ChrisMorgan> But the browser itself is horrid!
00:11:47 <Paul__> hey, I'm not here to defend or defamate anyone's browser... each has its strengths and weaknesses
00:12:05 <Paul__> I use several. myself, on an ongoing basis
00:12:45 <Paul__> they all aggravate me, in one way or another
00:13:43 <Paul__> Unfortunately (some might say), our corporate standard is IE... everything's written for it, and we are, officially, prohibited from installing anything else
00:14:06 <ChrisMorgan> The old, old story... take the worst and only support it.
00:14:08 <Paul__> (that's why I don't install anything else... I just keep 'em on my USB! ;) )
00:15:09 <Paul__> note, of course, that there is NO Portable version of IE - ya gotta install, and ingrain that sucka :(
00:16:11 <ChrisMorgan> All the more reason not to use it ;-)]
00:16:24 <Paul__> ya, well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do
00:18:26 <Paul__> so, by virtue of corporate obligation, I "live" in IE most of my browsing time. However, Chrome is my second choice, these days, and FF my backup. Thanks to PA, I easily added Opera to my menu, and will play with that a bit, too
00:19:53 <Paul__> when you've been in IT (and business) as long as I have, you learn to choose your battles... and fight some of them slightly sneakily :)
00:21:20 <Paul__> well, now that I know that there is no [known] issue with the site, I can concentrate on addressing the probable local issue.
00:21:38 <Paul__> thanks for your help, and (sincerely!) for the interesting chat!
00:25:18 <Paul__> gtg afk, but will stay on the channel and check back, in case there's anything else... Cheers!
00:26:15 <Paul__> hmmm... I type /aay, and it says: [19:25] == You are no longer marked as being away
00:26:20 <Paul__> owell...

05:39:30 <Mark_> help
05:40:53 <Mark_> how do I upload one of the softwares I have made portable?
06:11:35 <Mark_> helo
06:14:00 <Bensawsome> Mark_ you need to make a post in beta testing: http://portableapps.com/forums/development/beta_testing . It takes a while to become an official app though. and while in beta you need to find your own host for the files.
06:24:44 <Mark_> ok
06:24:53 <Mark_> so if i get an app
06:25:13 <Mark_> for instance firefox
06:25:24 <Mark_> and want to make it portable
06:25:31 <Mark_> what are the steps
06:29:58 <Bensawsome> how to make it portable or how to make it an offical app?
06:30:35 <Mark_> how would I do both?
06:30:38 <Mark_> I am a beginner
