What is a portable app?

portable - carried or moved with ease
app - a computer program like a web browser or word processor

A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.

No Special Hardware - Use any USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod/MP3 player, etc

No Additional Software - Just download the portable app, extract it and go

CS 195 A Project: Complete!

The Many Happy Returns - Boomerang Portal launched earlier this week, and is complete.

Many Happy Returns - Boomerang Portal
"What is a boomerang? How does one find a quality boomerang? What can you do with a boomerang? Are they collectible? You will find real answers to that AND MORE in this Boomerang Portal to some of the finest boomerangs from around the world."






Technically, I did get the forms page to function with the college form-mail, yet only works with the Firefox browser. JusTheFacts.Firefox.html

(Actually, the web form isn't fully functional with the college form-mail system, but that requirement has been lifted.)

CS 195 A Web Site Update

It's been a while, and the Many Happy Returns - Boomerang Portal website is next thing to being done.

Had to comb over and add "™" all over the place; added favicons from a boomerang I made myself™, debating on whether to change one photo for a new picture of one sent to me today; spell checking completed; hover and a few other minor styles added; most outside URLs sent to their own windows now - saves focus on the Many Happy Returns portal; added photos to the How To Throw page; Max Max™ photo snippet snuck in that I took using a Sony™ camera; brief descriptions of the contests were decided upon, due to possible changes in the rules by the governing™ committees™; and other small changes.

The forms page however is not functioning due to technical issues™. This is the last issue (that I am aware of) stopping the project from being completed.

Website Update

Lots of pictures are appearing, placeholder text has been created, the site is coming together!
