Free Online Speed Reading Software (Spreed)

Another "free" entry for you guys out there~






Sometimes I get frustated when I can't quite master the art of speed reading because my eyes can only scan through the words in an article but isn't able to pick up the words or digest what the article is all about. Well now I've found a solution to the answer. I stumbled upon this website when I was reading one of my all time favourite IsuHangat (I would categorize it under Gossip Blog even though it's not). It's an online speed reading software that is FREE to use.







The link is here. They provide you the basic version where you can just simply copy-paste an article be it online journals, notes or even e-books that you would like to finish quickly.







Just click on the pictures to enlarge.

All you need to do is just:
1- copy-paste the article in the space provided.
2- click on spreed, and then it will take you to the next page

A- Basicly tells you how many words you're reading and at what speed you're reading it.
B- Is the short cut keyboard function that has been set.

So if you're ready to spreed just click on:
1- To play
but if it's going a little bit too fast, just click on:
2- To edit the settings such as font size, font colour, background colour and words per minute.

Under the settings function there's also the advanced settings where you can choose to:
1- slow down on big chunks of word (i.e: encyclopedia)
2- start new chunks at end of sentences and paragraphs
3- slight pause at end of sentences or paragrpahs
4- skip over stopwords which add no additional meaning (i.e: an, the)





By the way, make sure you scan through the artice first to make sure that you're reading the right material before you spreed it so that you won't waste time figuring what the article is all about. Remember, spreeding is used to get the "meat" out of the article.


Happy Spreeding peeps :)

Tutorial on how to use FGS

First of all, make sure that you have logged-in to your Facebook account. If you haven't, the FGS icon will have an X right next to it. It looks something like this.

Make sure you have logged-in to your Facebook account.

If you haven't logged-in, there's no harm to it. Just click on the logo and it will direct you to the Facebook log-in page. This is because FGS will need to access all your posts and also your friends post for any bonuses.

REMINDER:  If you don't feel secured about logging-in via FGS link, make sure that you are already logged-in to your Facebook account prior to opening FGS.

Second, click on the FGS button. It is on the upper right hand corner of your Google Chrome.

Click here.

FGS will open in a new tab as shown below.

Click on each individual game to enable bonus collection from your Facebook as so.

Then tick on the box besides "Game enabled". Do the same for the rest of the game that you play. Then click refresh and wait for it to collect bonuses. This is how FGS will look like after collecting bonuses and requests on walls.

For Frontier Ville, I have one pending request from a friend who needs a measuring tape.

How to receive bonuses or send request

Bonuses/requests are the ones collected from your friends wall. Click on the "Receive all bonuses" button to receive bonuses shown and/or send things requested by friends. A tick will be shown when the request is fulfilled.

Request sent.

How to receive pending gifts

To receive gifts, click on the "Show pending gifts" button in any game you choose just like shown below.

I have one gifts given to me from a kind neighbour.

Click on the receive all gifts to accept gifts.

The gift has been collected.

How to send gifts (only for Frontier Ville and Farm Ville)

You can also send gifts to your neighbours in Frontier Ville and Farm Ville. Sending gifts to other games have not been added yet. So just hope that flies, the developer of FGS will make that option available for all games. Here is how to send gifts:

a) Sending gifts individually

Click on the "Send free gifts" button, then choose the gift that you want to send.

In the neighbours list choose one/few neighbours that you want to send gifts to.

I have selected one recepient.

Click "Send free gifts" button.

Wait for three to five seconds (depending on how many gifts you're sending). When its done, you can see that the persons name on the Neighbours list is gone (as you can only gift once per day).

To see gifts that you have already sent, click the "Show free gifts history" button

Gift sent.

How to send gifts to favourite friends

If you have a list of neighbours of more than 30 friends, you can select a few friends (as there is a quota on how much gifts you can send to per day) to be included in your favourites list. This option enables you to send gifts to them without having to choose everyday. Their names will appear automatically in the favourites list thus sending gifts to them is a breeze. I really love this option as I would love to give gifts to friends who have helped me in sending gifts, bonuses or helped me with my request. Here is how:

Click on the star next to your neighbours name in the Neighbours list and their names will appear in the Favourites send to list.

Friends name included in the favourites send to list.

Click on the "Select favourites" button first before you click on the "Send free gifts". Wait for a few seconds before the list disappear (to show that you've sent them).

There you go. That's just the basic tutorial on how to use FGS. If you need to know more or have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to leave me comment(s) and I will try my best to answer them or better, post another tutorial. Happy FGS-ing guys! :)

p/s: I'm not the developer for FGS so if there's any problem with FGS I'm afraid I can't help but I know very well that flies is working hard trying to fix it and improving it. Thus any donations for flies in improving FGS is very much encouraged and welcome :D To donate, click on the donate button on the upper-left hand corner of FGS tab.

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

In my previous post here I talked about the bonus collector. So here goes the tutorial for installing it.





First of all you need a Google Chrome. If you don't have one, here's the link to download Google Chrome and download as shown below.

Click Download Google Chrome.

IMPORTANT: Install it and wait for it to open. The second step requires you to open the chrome extension in Chrome, otherwise it won't work.





Second, go to the Google Chrome extension called Facebook Games Simplifier here and install the extension as shown below.

Click install.

A pop-up will prompt you to install the FGS as shown below:

Choose to install.

After successfully installing FGS, a notification will pop-up on the upper right of your Chrome as shown here.

As shown, I have seven pending bonuses/requests.

That's all for this post. Catch me in the next post on how to use the FGS.

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.

Tying Neat Bows on Pressies

Thought I might share you this entry on gift-wrapping. I just love to give pressies to my buddies and loved ones. Some are small, some expensive. Nevertheless, I really do like to pay much attention on the presentation of the pressies. I'll make sure that they come in boxes and not just wrapped in any wrapping paper and the most particular thing is the bow that sits on top.

I like my bows to be big and fluffy just like the one on top. See, isn't it just stunning? Instead I find myself splurging money on useless things just coz I can't manage to make an exclusive bow. Yeah, it irritates me alot coz the price of the ribbon itself is expensive and the bow won't make it through long journeys on buses.





So I best thought that I should google up on how to make one myself. Pretty hard stuff finding it coz what is on the net are just basic bows that you tie on shoe laces.

The search took me to How to Tie a Tiffany Bow tutorial. Pretty~ but not what I was searching for.





Next was the How to Perfectly Wrap a Present for dummies. This link might help you guys who can't get the hang of wrapping the present. It's got lots of step-by-step instruction but only aided by one picture on each page so I don't know if it helps. Oh, but it does give you steps on how to wrap odd shaped presseies.





Lo-and-behold...


I eventually found the step by step instruction on how to tie the beautiful bow. It's in pdf format so all you need to do is just to download the link here on Gorgeous Gift Presentation. Like usual it links to the 4shared website. And yeah, it's easy to follow and it has other forms of bows and not just the ones I showed. This tutorial was taken from the Container~Stores website.





Happy gift-wrapping guys! :)
