While developing the next version of ‘Cloud Puppy-2.0‘ (Cloud Puppy-1.0 is already available in the derivatives section) I was thinking about how nice it could be if everyone could use their favorite version of Puppy and still be able to dabble with Cloud Computing and besides, I would not have to go through all that work and the headaches developing a new Cloud Puppy that many might not like to change over to, hey... after all, if most Puppy users are like me... they pretty much already have a favorite version of Puppy setup that already involved a lot of work, why bother to start over again right?
Well, thanks to a small program developed by ‘Puppymartin’ called AppStarter... it was the perfect solution to have the best of two-worlds on one’s present system.
What this little .pet does is create a file in ‘UTILITY - GENERAL UTILITIES - called: CloudApps. When you click on that, a small pop-up window appears on your desktop.
In this window are already some Cloud Applications for you to check out (kind of like your own Cloud Desktop). There is also room to install nine (9) more of your own Cloud Apps that you may find on the Internet as well as an icon that says: ‘More Apps’ that brings up all the applications that are presently on your system (nice way to easily get to some of your standard apps.)
Remember... you use your present Puppy system without any changes (except the Cloud Apps menu entry). You use your current favorite default browser and... if Cloud is not for you, just go to your Puppy Package Manager and delete the .pet which I hope you won’t do without giving Cloud a fair shake! It is really nice and has many advantages over software-installed programs and there is little doubt Cloud is going to be the way we compute in the future besides, this little .pet will extend the life of your present Puppy version for many years!
Soooo.... I guess you can just call this ‘Cloud Puppy-2.0‘ If you like... Jump on your Puppy and explore uncharted territory... Hmmm... seems I’ve heard that before somewhere?
‘Enjoy and have fun!’
