But yesterday i came across Ady’s blog (where i downloaded the New Blogger Plugins) and guess what? Ady managed to make a portable pidgin! Though he was planning just to use it personally but now he’d like to share with us. That’s cool, pal.

What is Pidgin, you may ask?

Pidgin (formerly named Gaim) is a popular multi-platform instant messaging client that supports many commonly used instant messaging protocols. Pidgin is free software available under the GNU General Public License. (source : WikiPedia)

Pidgin Instant Messenger Sreenshot

It’s a freeware where you can run multiple Instant Messenger (Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Gtalk etc) at once.

In case of emergency, it is quite troublesome to download these applications and install them in every machine i want to use. Plus, i do not have any permission to install softwares/freewares inside my office’s pc, heh.. the saddest thing.

Now i don’t have to worry about FTP client and that few applications anymore for I’ve found portable apps site :

Portable Applications Suite

Here, you can download few freewares (which i believe more to be added soon). Currently, i’m using the portable version of Mozilla Thunderbird, Firefox, Gaim and Filezilla. These are the applications i use most of the time. All you need to do: download, install in your USB drive and run. That’s it.

Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving any personal data behind.

Yeah.

Note : Actually I also need a portable notepad++ . I hope it will be available soon:)
