http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/ News about Portable Apps for Linux. en Daniil Kulchenko 2007-06-04T17:06:59Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/danger <p>Portable Apps for Linux is at risk of being shut down! I am having trouble maintaining the project. The shutdown date is scheduled for August. This date will be removed, though, if we get more people going to this site. Do you know anybody who uses Linux? Tell them about PAFL! <br /> <br /> Please don't let it die!</p> 2007-06-04T17:06:59Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/iproto <p>Sorry for the delay in developing apps. My computer is in a very fragile state right now. It will not start up at all. This happened after trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 which was unsuccessful. In fact, I am typing right now under the Ubuntu Live CD which ironically, does work. My system will be back up and running with the release of Fedora 7 (Rawhide) on May 31st. <br /> <br /> I am also developing an application parallel to PAFL, iProto, which will be a simple and powerful prototyping application available for download at PorTools.com in about a month. <br /> <br /> By the way, did I ever tell you how the domain name came to be? PorTools was intentionally meant to stand for Portal Tools(PorTools), but that did not come around. Then I developed PAFL and recently realized that PorTools can be Portable Tools as well! What a strange coincidence!</p> 2007-05-21T20:06:05Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/testers <p>I am back to PAFL and we have unrolled two new tools: The Bug Reporting Tool, and the Testers tool. <br /> If you have problems with the apps or if the site won't render, please enter the problem into the Bug Reporting tool. If you have time, and if you have tested any of the apps or the site on your platform. please report the results on the Testers tool. <br /> <br /> Both will much benefit the development of PAFL. <br /> <br /> We are also adding features to the site that might not work in some browsers. If this happens, please report it on the new Testers tool. <br /> <br /> Both tools can be found at the tiny Problem? link in the menu. <br /> <br /> Thank you very much for benefiting PAFL and enjoy!</p> 2007-05-12T21:04:42Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/gone <p>I will not be able to do anything on PAFL for a week as I will be gone on a week-long camp trip with my school. (Remember my age. :) Sorry for any inconvienence this may cause. You may still continue posting on the forums and I will answer all questions when I get back on Friday,</p> 2007-05-06T16:40:05Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/install <p>Having trouble installing the apps? <br /> <br /> Well, we have a solution for you! At the Applications page you will now find the Portable Apps for Linux Easy App Installer. It s a small Perl script that installs the Portable Apps that you want for you! To get it, go to the Applications page and click on the link before the list of apps. <br /> <br /> Enjoy!</p> 2007-05-04T16:58:01Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/troublesweek <p>Comcast is acting up again. I have not had any internet connectivity at home this week and Comcast is coming today to see what is going on. I am also in the progress of upgrading to Ubuntu from Fedora, so expect some small delays in the release of apps. I hope to have 2 new apps released by the end of next week. <br /> <br /> Sorry for the inconviniece! <br /> <br /> Update: <br /> <br /> Well, they came. Verizon is performing phone-line service and they half-cut the cord to my internet. My speed is very slow, but at least it exists. Comcast says it will be fixed in 2 weeks at the most. I hope that will happen sooner. <br /> <br /> Also, I thought Ubuntu was going to be great, but it did not want to install using LVM so I'm still on Fedora. The apps will be coming!</p> 2007-04-29T15:19:37Z http://pafl.portools.com/blooki/visitstore <p>Portable Apps for Linux now has an Amazon Associares site running called Fast Drive.
