There's a few things: The name of it is Dia, not PortableDIA - I first  
thought somebody had made a version for handheld computers. The  
original author is indeed Alexander Larsson, but he hasn't been active  
on Dia for several years. The current main developer is Hans Breuer.  
The version you have up is several years old now, the most recent one  
being 0.96.1 (which itself is over a year old now, shame on me).

Thank you, though given that the sources are out there, I don't think  
this will come a much of a surprise to anybody:)
