I stumbled on this today while looking for something else… It’s actually pretty cool. Upon taking a quick glance at the list, there’s a number of apps that sound pretty useful to me. I’m suprised at how many things are being developed specifically with the purpose of running off a memory stick. There’s even a task launcher that is specifically designed to run programs off a usb stick.

I’ve used Snapfiles to find good freeware/shareware since they were called WebAttack. I still like that name better.

I just noticed that PuttySSH is conspicuously missing. Putty supports running from a usb stick, and an SSH client is definately a must for a traveling application suite.

I really like this one from Boing Boing today:

Here, Bullet
If a body is what you want,
then here is bone and gristle and flesh.
Here is the clavicle-snapped wish,
the aorta's opened valves, the leap
thought makes at the synaptic gap.
Here is the adrenaline rush you crave,
that inexorable flight, that insane puncture
into heat and blood. And I dare you to finish
what you've started. Because here, Bullet,
here is where I complete the word you bring
hissing through the air, here is where I moan
the barrel's cold esophagus, triggering
my tongue's explosives for the rifling I have
inside of me, each twist of the round
spun deeper, because here, Bullet,
here is where the world ends, every time.
