Lebih Produktif di Lab

April 22nd, 2011 § Leave a Comment

Sudah pukul 8.48 malam. Dalam 12 minit sahaja lagi mesyuarat di Skype akan bermula, tetapi anda masih lagi di lab, belum pulang ke rumah. Mesyuarat hanya akan berlangsung selama sejam sahaja, dan anda hendak teruskan kerja-kerja anda di lab kembali selepas itu. Namun, ada satu masalah besar – Skype tidak dipasang pada komputer lab anda dan anda tidak pula boleh memasang  sebarang perisian sesuka hati. Anda terpaksa memilih sama ada pulang ke rumah untuk menghadiri mesyuarat dan berulang -alik 10 minit sehala ke lab pada malam yang sejuk ke tulang sumsum dengan basikal, turun-naik bukit setinggi bangunan 6 tingkat,  atau  pun anda tidak menghadirkan diri ke mesyuarat… tidak pada kali ini. Pernahkah anda menghadapi situasi begini? Adakah anda mengharung dengan tabahnya kegelapan malam pekat untuk sampai ke rumah, atau memerah otak dalam kebingungan meneka-neka perjalanan mesyuarat ketika membaca minit mesyuarat yang secara tidak sengaja ‘agak ringkas’ keesokan harinya? Apakah penyelesaian anda?

PortableApps.com mengemukakan perisian Skype mudah alih (portable) yang boleh dibawa dalam USB ke mana sahaja. Hanya sambungkan USB anda ke mana-mana komputer dan kini anda boleh menggunakan Skype seakan ianya sudah dipasang pada komputer itu.

Apakah perisian mudah alih?

Portable apps tidak meninggalkan data di luar USB atau medium mudah alih yang anda guna dan tidak merubah registry komputer anda. Semuanya dalam USB anda dan boleh digunakan di mana sahaja komputer Windows. Semua data-data dalam folder-folder dalam USB anda dan jika anda alihkan folder-folder tersebut, perisian itu turut beralih ke tempat yang sama, ke USB anda yang lain, ke hard disk drive, ke iPod, MP3 player, dan lain-lain simpanan data, dan  perisian anda boleh berjalan dari situ.

Consider the Possibilities…

  • Your favorite web browser with all your bookmarks close at hand
  • Your presentation AND the required software ready to go for that big meeting
  • Your important passwords and account information securely encrypted and always with you
  • Your antivirus program and other utilities ready to fix PC problems
  • Your calendar with all your appointments
  • Your own email client with all your contacts and settings
  • Your instant messenger and your buddy list
  • Your whole office suite along with all your documents

Mengapa menggunakan format dan suite PortableApps.com?

Ia adalah format dan platform yang memudahkan proses memindahkan folder-folder yang sedia ada dan  membuat folder-folder yang perlu ada untuk maklumat-maklumat tetapan dan sebagainya melalui perisian yang akan memandu anda dalam proses-proses tersebut. Kalau anda sudah sedia ada munggunakan  perisian portable, anda hanya perlu mengalih foldernya ke dalam folder PortableApps dan “voila!” ianya akan muncul pada menu  launcher.  Salah satu kelebihannya ialah ia memudahkan anda untuk upgrade perisian-perisian sambil mengekalkan data pengguna seperti tetapan(settings/preferences) peribadi, bookmarks dan sebagainya. Ia juga adalah open source, maksudnya pembangunan platform ini diusahakan oleh pelbagai lapisan masyarakat developers dengan sukarela, membawakan kepada anda pelbagai kebaikan open source tanpa apa-apa bahagian yang tidak perlu kepada pengguna seperti perisian-perisian komersial lain.

Dan banyak lagi kelebihannya yang lain seperti yang terdapat pada laman web Why PortableApps.com Format and a PortableApps.com Installer?

  • Simple Portable Installer Wizard - The installer uses an easy-to-use, familiar wizard to handle the actual installation, guiding the user through the process. But unlike a standard software installer, it doesn’t overwhelm the user with choices, nor does it install to or make changes to the local PC.
  • Faster Downloads - PortableApps.com Installers use advanced compression techniques resulting in a 20-30% savings or more in file size over standard zip files; which makes for faster downloads.
  • Better Upgrading - The PA.c Installer automatically handles upgrading application files while leaving the user’s data intact. It can even move files around and update configuration settings when necessary. Many users used to have issues with upgrades. Once we switched to PortableApps.com Installers, upgrades got much easier.
  • Easier Backups - All PortableApps.com apps have their data in the same location, AppNamePortable\Data. This lets tools like our integrated backup utility provide users with easy access to backup just their personal information quickly without needing to backup all their applications each time. As a result, users are more likely to backup more often.
  • Easy Platform Installs - The installer automatically detects an existing PortableApps.com Platform installation on any drive connected to the PC and install to it, which makes life much easier on less-experienced users.
  • Tamper Prevention and Digital Signatures - Most installers are digitally signed to ensure that they haven’t been tampered with and will display the digital signature on launch. The launchers also automatically detect if they have been tampered with and will alert you if they have.
  • Licensing - Many apps require EULAs to be shown during installation. The PA.c Installer handles this automatically. This is especially true of some freeware and upcoming commercial releases. Some applications simply can’t be legally redistributed in ZIP files.
  • Self Contained - The installer doesn’t require any outside files or utilities like unzip software. Different PCs may have different unzip utilities installed. Some PCs running Windows 2000 may not even have unzip utilities available. With the PA.c Installer, no additional software is required and the experience is consistent for the user.
  • Fully Portable - Unlike most zipped ‘portable’ software, all PA.c releases handle things like drive letter changes with ease ensuring that the entire app, not just parts of it, continue to work as you move PCs. Without the included PA.c launcher in each app, many semi-portable apps would have things like most recently opened files and settings break as you move PCs.
  • “No Code” Portablization - The PortableApps.com Launcher and Installer require no coding or manual compilation to use. You just need to follow the prescribed PA.c Format specification and fill out some simple text files and most software can be portablized without requiring any coding changes to the base application.
  • Open, Standardized Format - PortableApps.com Format is the most widely used format for portable software. It’s open source, under an open license and open to all!
