Another useful tool

Thanks to ff.net and its thankfully short crash yesterday, I found this site, WebsiteDown.info, which seems to work very well. I'll keep it in mind.

Colour!

While trying to change the settings of my portable Sumatra (which has proved fruitless up til now - portable, right!), specially that hideous yellow background, I found this three online colour picker sites, better keep them at hand:

ColorPicker.com - Quick Online Color Picker Tool - Quick Online Color Picker Tool - simple, with clear instructions and links to a colour chart
Sphere: Color Theory Visualizer - a bit more complicated, with more options but no clear instrucctions, so probably not for the uninitiated (like me)
Color Scheme Designer 3 - as the name indicates, this one helps generate a whole colour scheme, and has plenty of options; no instruccions, but rather easy to crack.

Obviously, after finding my colour with the first site, I didn't dig deeper into the other two. Also, I was pretty sure I had some similar addresses here, but couldn't find them. I will have to check my search feature.
