As you should know by now if you've visited this site before, I love to introduce new projects that I may never follow up on. I've found a solution, however - planned obsolescence!

I like to keep a portable workspace on my thumb drive. While, say, Firefox Portable from PortableApps goes a long way, I still needed a secure way to store passwords, etc.

I had been using FSekrit, but it was hard to organize. One big bland text file. I then saw a link on LifeHacker for ZuluPad, a lightweight personal wiki. Looked great, except for a couple of small issues:

1. It stored settings in the registry.
2. No encryption.

After porting in the author's forum, I realized he had a huge list of improvements and that it may be a while. What's a geek to do? Hack in solutions for both issues.

Introducing PortableZuluPad v0.1. It simply adds encryption and restores/cleans up registry settings. It wraps around the ZuluPad executable using Windows Scripting Host. It's easy to use, and works!

I don't have a page up for it yet, so in the meantime you can read about it in my Zulupad Forum Post, or just download it here.
