PC less Portable life
The scene is : We were having our final engg project demo. There were two hings we need to show to the exernal professor. First is the presentation and Secon is our Project demo. What i did is, i went the day before the D day, and installed all my required software for my project. Also i stored a copy of my presentation. This was aroun 11:oo am. I was relaxed that i completed the installation beforehand, coz most of the time it creates problem at the final movement. After returning from college, all of a sudden i got a thought, what if there some crisis during the DEMO. So what i did is i made a copy on my CD, made backup on my Pen drive, and finally uploaded the content on the internet on my email account. Again i was relaxed, that i had done my backup considering all possible worst case.
Next morning i went to college, and fortunately i got the first chance to Demo the project. So here i was at the PC alloted to me, and were i had done my installations the previous day. But suddenly he sky was falling on my head. To my surprise nothing was there in that PC. I tried the CD, but it didnt work. I tried to download i from the internet, as there was no USB slot for the pen drive on that PC. But The files were too large to be downloaded in that span of time. I was like, I AM DEAD. The efforts being put were blasted. But suddenly our network admin recollected that the PC had a USB slot at the rear end of the cabinet. To my relief i copied all the content on the PC.
Now all the prblem started. I had to setup all the applications on the PC from the scratch. Fotunately again, before the external came, i was done with all this and i completed my DEMO with no more hiccups.
Sign of releif ins't it. I was really lucky, but you people may not be.
So here is the Best possible solution to such a crisis. With onlly one condition that the PC should have a USB slot, which currently all cabinets have. Here is the list of all apllication that can run on your Pen Drive, without the help of your computer. These all applications directly execute on your pen drive. It only needs a PC for the drive purpose.
