New portable Digsby version available
Carsten Knobloch - who previously put together the first portable version of Google Chrome - had created a portable version of Digsby several months ago. Updates, however, caused it to stop functioning, but it looks like he's managed to solve the problem with some help from a friend.
On Monday, he posted an updated version of the popular multi-protocol instant messaging app (for which he thanks Stephan) that you can take with you on your flash drive. Better yet, he's been testing Digsby's update feature on the portable version and it's now applying them without issue.

If only digsby had a built in IRC client, it would be perfect (atleast for me). Too bad, not switching form pidgin anytime soon. Good to see it's heading in the portable direction though. Thanks again DLS!

It looks like Digsby already offers a portable version here: http://www.digsby.com/download.php?os=win. "Installing to a USB drive or secondary hard drive? Having trouble with the above installer? Click Here."

That extra link on the Digsby page actually leads you to a normal Digsby installer - it's not a portable version, it's a way to avoid the "InstallQ" installer.

Well, whatever version this is, it's not working, at least on my machine.
The Digsby PreUpdater.exe crashes on my Windows XP every time.
