Okay, I know I cheated by going directly from 2.0.1 to 2.1.0 - I just have not enough time when 2.0.2 was released. Pidgin 2.1.0 has finally been released with lots of improvements. For my Portable Pidgin users, you’ll be happy to know that it’s ready. Please let me know if you find any problem.

I am feeling a little bit slow today, because my notebook is slow. LOL. I think this relates directly to the fact that everyday at work I am using a new Lenovo T60 notebook which is much faster than my 2 years old personal notebook. I used to dual-boot the notebook with Debian where the [...]

In my previous post about passwords, I wrote about why you should not use shared passwords. One thing after another, in the comments section password storage became a topic and I suggested KeePass and at all cost avoid online password managers. I had a reason in mind, and you have guessed it right - security.

Latest Update click here.
I am a curious programmer, and was all the way wondering on how apps on PortableApps were made. Since Pidgin, the replacement for Gaim was released I was waiting for a while for Portable Apps but I guess they must be busy with the number off apps they have to handle.

A funny story. I just bought myself a 4GB flash drive to substitute my old 128MB Imation flash drive. So I was trying to format the Imation drive when I found a big loophole to the software.
The Imation flash drive comes with a firmware that automatically creates an executable to run the Imation Disk Manager [...]

Not everything that you dream of can become reality. But one of my oldest dream has come true. I really wanted that my frequently used applications can be brought along anywhere I need them, and be used in any computer I want to.
I found PortableApps. It can be used as a suite, and can be [...]

I spent like half an hour on this, got tired, went out to The Curve Damansara, and tonight when I came back, tried a simple trick and it all worked.
I had a code similar to this (shortened for understanding):
1
2
3
4
5
<select id="distDst">
<option value="1">Name of the option</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="getSelected" onClick="getData()"/>
The JavaScript:
1

5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
<script type="text/javascript">
< ![CDATA[
function getData()
{
distDst = document.getElementById(’distDst’);
