My students are always asking me about my thumb and are amazed at what I can do with it. I am, of course, talking about my 8GB thumb drive. With every utility, tool, documents, slides, etc. that I could ever need and most of them run directly from the drive and never need installing, I am finally going to reveal my secrets. I am a huge fan of John Haller and PortableApps.com. John just recently added another must have tool to the portable lineup. WinWGet Portable is a very smooth download manager and having it portable on my thumb is perfect. If you are looking at building a portable tool chest, start at John's site and then make your way to SysInternals. Mark Russinovich is so knowledgeable and most importantly, willing to share. Last stop for great tools is The Network Toolkit by Cace Technologies, another source of brilliance in the form of Gerald Combs and company. Those are the building blocks of what you need and will get you started thinking about the possibilities.
Until next time....Good Day, Good News and Goodnight!
