Solipsus

Today is going to drag on, I can just tell, but I will get onto telling you why later on in the post. I just felt that I needed to post to get my head out of the pillow.

For months now, I have always wondered how Rikkye from Nuwen was able to take a screenshot of her new layout for the full length of the webpage. Out of lazyness, I took that as being taking 2 seperate screenshots and then merging the two in Photoshop… until now. I have been motivated to start work on a hard-copy portfolio with full sketches, notes and final designs and yesterday I looked into screenshotting software for mac called Paparazzi!. This software actually allows you to input any URL, your minimum pixel details and it will create a full length webpage screenshot for you! I love it.

For all of you who know (or don’t know), I use Reinvigorate to track all my visitor hits, IP’s, details and page hits. But now - I can do that all from my desktop and with a startling tone, know when a new visitor is on my website! With what? You may ask, well the other day Reinvigorate released a new desktop application called Snoop. I think it is very handy for when you are on your computer and wish to know instantly when someone posts on/visits/leaves your website, but I find it doesn’t really go into great detail as much as the reinvigorate pages do. It may not mean to, but it would be nice. Reinvigorate really makes me want to purchase Mint, but I seem to be broke at the moment. :mad:

As I said earlier, this day is going to drag on - and as I said this morning is getting worse. On the way to school this morning, in my new car, I had a car accident. A car went into me/I went into him - when I was coming off the roundabout. I now have dents and scratches all the way down my passenger door and by the quote which I am getting done now, it is going to be expensive to fix. <.<

I felt so bad when I rang up my Dad to say about the accident because I swore to myself when I got the car I would be extra careful and not have an accident because I do not want to be without a car, after what happened last time.

Details are a bit wishy wasy at the moment, but I find the driver of the other guy quite suspicious. He was foreign, didn’t want to go through insurance but just wanted to have £100 from me on the spot. A 17 year old boy on the way to school, having £100 on him? I think not. He made me think that the accident was my fault, and I thought I was because I thought I was in the inner lane when I shouldn’t have been - but since coming home and talking to my parents I had the right of way and can use the lane I was in. Grr.

5 minutes of going into school, everyone knew about it and I was being asked 100&1 questions, someone even said that they heard that my car hadn’t been seriously damaged and was written-off. I think I proved them wrong when I pulled in it. Oh well, I just hope to get it fixed and I hope I never have another accident simply because I hate the feeling it gives you.
