Trillian To Go
With the growth and popularity of the flash drive, portable apps seem to be everywhere. Now you can add chatting online to the portable application phenomenon. Originally, IMers had to make do with the online versions of AIM and Yahoo IM which were limited in their scope or were blocked by schools. A later alternative was to go to http://www.meebo.com and login and chat that way. Today, we have one of the grails of Instant Messaging that you can run right from your flash drive: Portable Trillian.
For those that don’t know what Trillian is, it is an all-in-wonder IM service. It combines AIM, YIM, MSN IM, IRC, and ICQ in one neat little app as well as plugin and custom skin support. The team at Trillian Anywhere (http://www.trilliananywhere.com/) have provided step by step instructions on how to make the application portable. I’ve used this myself and it works like a charm. The total amount of space needed is only the amount of space Trillian uses. The site gives instructions on how to perform this with both the Pro and Basic versions.
Still here? Wait are you waiting for? Go and chat on the go.

In the past, there have been times when I wished that I could create or recreate a document in PDF format. Sometimes I wanted to send a document in a format that Mac and Linux users could read and sometimes I wanted to simply protect the data so that it could not be changed or altered. In the past, PDF creation tools were either expensive or hard to find (or both).
