Bonus Collector for Cafe World, Treasure Isle, Frontier Ville, Farm Ville and Mafia Wars (Part I)

I just love to play with Zynga's game like Cafe World, FrontierVille and Treasure Isle. But I always end up with  so little time to collect bonuses and send gifts to friends each day since I spend the whole time playing three games. At first I thought the Bonus Checker was the solution to my problems as it collects bonuses published on my friends wall but it turns out to be time consuming as I have to I've got accept the gifts one-by-one manually.





However, recently I stumbled upon one of (I say) the best application ever for collecting bonuses AUTOMATICALLY plus I get to send gifts too! I can also send any (I call them) construction tools to my friends for frontierville and not just limited to two construction tools such as nails and bricks.






As I have been promoting all this while in my blog, the application is FREE peeps :) However, donations for the developer are most welcome. Besides that, the application also support Mafia Wars and Farm Ville besides Cafe World, FrontierVille and Treasure Isle. The application deserves two thumbs up from me.

What application is it, you ask?? No, it's not Zynga's toolbar.






You just have to wait and stick to my next post to find out ;)




*sorry guys, can't blog about the application yet coz I have problems with the computer. Can't print screen to post pictures for tutorials on how to install and use the application. Will post up the next entry within this week.

Fixing Executable File / Program

Have you ever had times when you accidently changed the property of the file and set it to open to another program? Well, I've had my fair share and it is just devastating. It was all because of a virus that attacked all my word documents.





The .doc files were unable to open as the virus changed it into an executable file instead of a document. So I stupidly enough thought it was a clever thing to change the files extension from .exe to .doc. but it was the biggest mistake that I did.







I end up messing the files all together. All the .exe programs started to open in Office Word which was pretty awful as nothing literally opened except for Word of course. As for the file that got devoured, well, I never managed to open it either.







 Things got panicky but fortunately I had my browser opened all that while. I started to google-up ways to fix it and after quite somewhile I stumbled upon this website that typically explains how to repair it. I forgot the URL. I was suspicious at first (Well, who isn't? I could've downloaded more virus and trojans instead) but gave it a try, otherwise I wuldn't be able to submit my report despite having to redo it all over again *sigh*.







And voila! To my astonishment, after I downloaded the file and ran it, it works. I mean a click of a button is all I had to do. There was a small popup prompting whether we want to open a website afterwards but that was really it. The size of the file is only 11Kb and click here for the link. Like always, it is linked to my 4shared account. If you're not sure how to download it, look up in MiniLyrics, Karaoke Lyrics for instructions.






All you need to do is download it, then run it and that is all. Good luck in fixing the problem ;)

Mozilla Firefox Add-Ons

For todays post, I will show you a few of my favourite add-ons that I have been using on Mozilla Firefox and it has truly served me well in terms of its functions as well as nice UI to it. To top it all off, it is simple to add on and to use.

 

 My Firefox with vista-aero themes and other add-ons.

I like this Vista-Aero theme because it has the same function as Internet Explorer would have.

Like these buttons on the top-right hand corner of my Firefox.

For the Vista-Aero themes that I used on Firefox, just click here and click on the "Add-on to Firefox" button.






As for all the other add-ons (extensions) that I used on Firefox are:

- Download Statusbar
- Search Preview
- Tab Scope
- Smart Bookmarks Bar


I have linked each of the add-ons to its respective add-on links. So just click on the above add-ons except for the Smart Bookmarks Bar.

Download Statusbar

It lets you view and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar; without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing. So there is less clutter of having multiple windows opened. I truly truly truly like this extension as it is neat and tidy, stating the amount of speed it downloads per second and on the bottom is the estimated time left for it to complete.

Search Preview

With Search Preview, all of the results will be displayed with an image (thumbnail) of the website to the left of the search results. So to those who forgot about a website they recently visited then have no fear as. The coolest part is there's also a hits bar next to the address indicating of how many users have clicked on to that page a.k.a popularity ranks of that website according to Google, Yahoo and Bing search results pages.

Tab Scope

 

Tab Scope lets you preview and navigate tab contents through popup. As seen in the picture above, I placed my cursor on top of the tab that I am not on it to preview the webpage to know whether it has already finished loading without having to click on it. Besides that, I also use the buttons that's on the tab scope to refresh, go forward or back one page or just to close it without the need to even look at the tab.

Smart Bookmarks Bar

 

 

The smart bookmarks bar (SBB) is my all time fav. I like it ever sooooo much that I just can't seem to live without it. Whenever I use someone elses laptop, my hands are so gatal that I want to download the SBB on theirs. Its so handy as all the bookmarks are visible and whats great about it is that it has the icon of the webpage on it as well making it easier for us to remember the website besides the name and the URL of the website on mouse over. Actually this add-on came with the Vista-Aero theme (that explains the no link above). All you need to do is just click on the star with a green thingy on top of it to add your prefered website to your list of SBB's.

That's it for today. I hope that with the help of my tips and advice will make your surfing experience more pleasureable and easier. Any queries please do not hesitate to ask me. Happy surfing ;)

MiniLyrics, Karaoke Lyrics

Have you ever wanted to read the lyrics to a song while you're listening to it?
Perhaps you wanted to sing-a-long to a song you really like.
Or you just wanted to karaoke in your room without going to any karaoke box.
And you're just too busy or even too lazy to google up the lyric to the song that you're listening to.








Well search no more fellas, I have found the best possible solution there is!! Better than any lyrics viewer I've ever seen.





The best thing is that it's absolutely FREE!!!


No sign-ups, no adware, no spyware and nothing of that sort.





I found this software online. It's called MiniLyrics. All you need to do is just download it, install it, and it pops up whenever you listen to music. It practically opens up to any of the players that you have and that you have chosen for it to work with.









Here are all the players that MiniLyrics supports:








Winamp
Windows Media Player
Apple iTunes
RealPlayer
Yahoo! Music Engine
VLC Media Player
The KMPlayer
Foobar2000
Zune software
MediaMonkey
Spotify
Quintessential Player
Songbird
J. River Media Jukebox
J. River Media Center
JetAudio
BSPlayer
AlbumPlayer
Helium Music Manager
AIMP2
Silverjuke
XMPlay





Here are a few previews...






The lyrics (in yellow) scrolls on top as the song plays.






This is the boundary for MiniLyrics where you can widen it according to your preference.






And this is the MiniLyrics on "click-thru" mode. The boundaries will be invisible and you will be able to do your work while the MiniLyrics scrolls on top of all your desktop without accidently clicking on the MiniLyrics.







It also comes in different striking colours besides orange and blue such as lime green and purple, pink and green and also red and khaki. I'll show you how to change the settings in my future posts.




The software will search for the lyrics online in its archive by itself (unless it can't match the title or artist to the song) each time it plays a song with no lyrics to it. (No, I'm not being paid by anyone to do this.)






So all you need to do is just click here for the MiniLyrics download and it will link you to my 4shared account.



Next, click on the blue button which says "Download Now" and wait for it to load (around 6 seconds) until you can see this:



..and just click on "Click here to download this file"..




Take my word, its the best software in terms of innovation and also freeware and you will never go wrong. Don't hesitate to ask me anything regarding MiniLyrics.
