Inspired by the storms that have been around here, and by a Palm application that performs the same function, I wrote a little application to calculate how far away lightning is.

It's simple, really: tap the big button once when you see the lightning, tap it again when you hear the lightning, and it will approximate how far away the lightning strike was. However, I wanted to add a bit of a personal touch to it, so I added something: the ability to calculate the speed of sound based on temperature. You can also switch units on the speed of sound, and the distance displayed will be based on whatever units you choose.

Just a silly little utility, really. It's available in diablo extras, and the current version is 1.0.0-3. Screenshot:


Known bugs:

• Calculating speed of sound when "mph" is selected doesn't seem to work correctly
• Icon in menu is too small until cache refreshes. Then, it's too big.

Post any other bugs you find/features you'd like to see.
