Windows Live Writer : Portable
Jun 22nd
Since the only source of Internet in Delhi for me is my Office, I needed a portable application for blogging because installing my own applications is not allowed in Office. This is the reason I use portable version of Firefox, Pidgin, 7-Zip etc for my work but so far I wasn’t able to find a proper & good Portable Blogging application. I use Windows Live Writer for posting my blogs which is a boon to all Windows Users who blog. This is an awesome application which even Microsoft haters agree that it is a good application. While looking for a portable replacement I came across something interesting. Windows Live Writer is already available in Portable format.
Presenting Windows Live Writer : Portable by Scott Kingery. It requires Administrative rights to run. The following text is taken from his blog.
Download Windows Live Writer : Portable
The zip file does NOT contain everything you need to run Windows Live Writer. This is simply a launcher which will run Windows Live Writer in a self contained environment so you can take everything with you between computers via your USB memory stick or other portable device.
To get this portable app to work you need to follow these steps closely:
1. Unzip this file to your USB or other portable drive
2. Download Windows Live Writer from: http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com
3. Install Windows Live Write as usual. You don’t even have to run it, just so long as it is installed.
4. Copy ALL of the files FROM c:\program files\windows live writer TO the new structure on your USB drive that looks like the graphic below \WindowsLiveWriterPortable\App\WindowsLiveWriter
5. You can now uninstall Windows Live Writer if you want
To use Windows Live Writer from your USB drive simply double click on WindowsLiveWriterPortable.exe and it will take care of the necessary registry settings and document paths. If you have used WLW on your computer before, the launcher will copy all your settings and files to the USB drive.
Why do they always think she is my girlfriend?????

Phew! Back to home after so many days & had to meet so many friends. I was busy since 12 PM yesterday & came home at 9 PM. First I went to give my bike for repair then met Divy & Kumar in Fun republic for lunch then I was supposed to meet Priya in Wave but she got late so I just did some window shopping & then planned to go to Pooja’s home with Divy, although he was again late so I decided to meet Priya first & then go to Pooja’s home as we can go there even in night. Pooja’s home was nice, Aunty gave us lots to eat.
I have had it with the mentality of people in Lucknow & Delhi. Yesterday I met Priya in the evening in Ritz after her work in office. She has earned some good amount of money by doing part time jobs this month, at least now she can buy a Reliance phone. Anyway, we met & since I was short on time we went to Ritz. Now, she was having a throat infection so she said she won’t have anything cold & I ordered one ice cream for me but alas, the service guys always think we are a couple & he gave me one ice cream with 2 Spoons
….WTH, If I am with a Girl in a hotel does that means she is my GF only & can’t be something else. To tease the service people I went back to the receptionist & gave him one spoon back & ordered a Hot Coffee & said "Bro, she isn’t my GF" 
.
Same thing was in Delhi. I met Amita in 3Cs few days back & same thing. We were standing outside in the smoking zone. Now, we were standing close to each other & talking all sort of things like her BFs, my friends etc etc & everyone who was passing by was looking at us in strange way. Even couples were looking at us like we were aliens & boys specially at Amita. She said this happens in Delhi & she is used to it. Maybe it was because Amita has a mind blowing figure & looks 200% sexy, people must be thinking what a jerk guy like me doing with a goddess like her. Oh well, this isn’t much different then it was in Lucknow when I used to go out with Priya or Ashya or anyone. There was one time when while waiting for Ashya I started talking to some other girls in wave & when she came she was furious that why I am talking to that other gal.
This makes me wonder, people don’t mind when they are roaming around with there GF or friends but when some other guy is somewhere with a girl, the first thing which comes in there mind is "They must be a couple". I mean WTH…isn’t there any other relationship left???
