Today I will present a new utility made by me: RSVP reader.

This program use the RSVP(Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) approach to read a text. It can help you read any text 300% faster than your reading time. To read a text just select it and press ALT+R on your keyboard.

If you press the Options button you can change various options like reading speed or characters per reading step.

Like many of the utilities made by me, also this software is portable.

If you want to know more on RSVP:

Just double click on a program to execute it. If you right click on a program, its folder will be opened.

This is a simple crawling multithread library I developed(consider this a beta version, but should work fine).
If you need the source-code, let me know.
If you want to send feedback, feel free to post a comment.

This is an example on how to use the library:
1) the library dispatches an event when a new document is loaded, so make a listener for this event;

2) set the maximum number of concurrent threads;

3) start crawling.

MultiThreadCrawler crawler = new MultiThreadCrawler(); 
crawler.addDocumentCrawledEventListener( 
	new DocumentCrawledListener() 
	{ 
		public void documentCrawled(DocumentCrawledEvent e) 		
		{ 
			System.out.println("" + 
			e.getDocument().getUrl());
			//System.out.println("" + 
			//(MultiThreadCrawler)e.getSource())
			//.getRemainingUrlsCount()); 
		} 
	}); 
try 
{ 
	crawler.setMaxConcurrentThreads(48); 	
	crawler.startCrawling(new URL("FULL_URL_OF_THE_SITE" +
	+ "(WITH_HTTP)")); 
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) { //DO SOMETHING } 

And finally you can download the library here:

Just a simple tip to draw curves in java using Piccolo2D(download the jar file from: piccolo2D) and the curve api (download the jar file from: Curve API):

List<Point2D> points = new ArrayList<Point2D>(); 
// Collect points 
Shape shape = new CurveCreator().getShape(points); 
PPath p = new PPath(); 
p.setPathTo(shape);
