Use ThingamaBlog with PortableApps

If you want to use ThingamaBlog with PortableApps it is a bit difficult. Here i will show a simple way.

Make a folder 'Tamb' in your Portable Drive HDD. Let use say it is G:, you can always set it to G: before you start.

How To Change Drive Letter - Be Careful Here

My Computer Right Click - Manage or Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Storage - Disk Management.

Drives and Partitions - right-click the USB drive you have installed, then select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." Change..." select your drive letter G: OK. warning message "Yes" Close this dialog.

(If you change your C: or D: your computer may Fail and may become difficult to Repair. Never Ever change C: - This is the place of the Operating System.)

Unplug USB drive, and put back it will have G: a drive letter as you set.

Batch Executable for Tamb

Make a Batch File - Empty Text File - Called 'tamb.bat' or 'run.bat' plain text use TextPad, NoteTab or NotePad++. This file must be in the new tamb folder you created. Make a shortcut for this and paste the shortcut on desktop. Change icon to something nice and set shortcut properties to Run Minimized.

Add this Line

G:\Portable\main\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java\bin\java.exe -jar thingamablog.jar

Where G: is the Drive Letter of the Portable Apps and Full Path as per your Installation. Use xplorer to do the file management and view paths. The path to Java.exe must be correct and you must have "Portable Java" from Portable Apps installed already.

Now just use the Icon Tamb on desktop to start blogging. (do not close the minimized dos/shell java window). Save your blog profile in some folder on the Portable Drive G:.

Get a real HardDisk like a External Portable Seagate or iOmega to get speed. In case you need it faster, Install Gizmodrive in the Computer where you are working for some time, example .. while you are on a Tour. With Gizmo create an Encrypted Virtual Drive with G: letter. In this G: copy your portable apps files and it will run faster. Remember password do not set auto-mount. When you are moving again from that place, say after your tour ends, make a backup from the Gizmodrive to your external drive; Delete Virtual drive and uninstall gizmo. Keep data safe in your External drive or ColudDrive like Drop Box. Never leave any app logged in.

Your Data and Settings is your very own Soul and Intellectual Property IP....never let it get in others hands.

I now have a Cloud Journal - In the Cloud, For the Cloud, From the Cloud - I would like to call it a Thing-a-ma DropBlog. It is made of ThingamaBlog and DropBox.

This is an amazing tool, i still use it. I feel updating can be incremental, only the post and navigation. A way of verifying if the files that have gone up on ftp are correct size, unix-windows text formats.
