Simple Tricks / Windows Power Toys

You guys have got to check this out! They first came out with it in Vista then killed it in the next Windows version.  >:(

Now, there's a TON of features. The one I like the most is Color Picker. The default key presses are Win+Shift+C. You can see the color code which scrolling over the page. In the settings, it has 3 default color codes, Hex, RGB, HSL. The best thing is that you can set it to HSL as the default and see it as you move the cursor over the screen! Then, a popup shows you the color information in all 3 formats, when you click on the color of your choice, which allows you to pick any format you want. The HSL format is what SMF will be changing to in SMF 3.0. A lot of other apps already use this like Wordpress, etc.

Before this, I used an external website and had to switch back and forth, copying and pasting the code I needed. Now, I no longer need to do that.  8)

Yes, I'm glad of that.

You can see the announcement on their homepage about their paid and free versions.

An Apache web access log entry is usually a space-delimited row of text.  Text enclosures are usually double quotes ", with an alternate enclosure of square brackets [] that seem to be used for datetimes.  Blank fields are represented as a hyphen -.  An example:
52.173.235.85 - - [09/Sep/2025:00:00:47 -0400] "GET /smf/index.php?topic=30136.0 HTTP/2.0" 403 285 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko); compatible; ChatGPT-User/1.0; +https://openai.com/bot" 0 0 "on:TLSv1.3:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384" 332 18454 194.255.155.15 wwwvoogerfoogercom - - 52.173.235.85
Breaking down this entry:

Field 1, IP: 52.173.235.85
Field 2, Client, usually a blank: -
Field 3, Requester, usually a blank: -
Field 4, Datetime: [09/Sep/2025:00:00:47 -0400]
Field 5, Request: "GET /smf/index.php?topic=30136.0 HTTP/2.0"
Field 6, HTTP status: 403
Field 7, Size of response: 285
Field 8, Referrer: -
Field 9, Useragent: "Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko); compatible; ChatGPT-User/1.0; +https://openai.com/bot"
Field 10+, Vary per host, in this example, it appears to be connection cypher info: 0 0 "on:TLSv1.3:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384" 332 18454 194.255.155.15 wwwvoogerfoogercom - - 52.173.235.85

WALA only uses the first nine columns, the rest are not loaded.

Apparently it's free/Open Source now (at least the free version of CSF - I don't know what features the premium version added that the free version didn't have). https://github.com/centminmod/configserver-scripts/blob/main/README-gpl-csf.md
