Domino style menu to show approximate ping times at a glance

Hey Antirez, big fan of yours, we use Redis a ton in RapidPro and it is a lifesaver, always been impressed by your pragmatism and creation of useful tools.

Anyways, I spend a lot of time abroad on flakey connections and like having something like iconping running all the time. Not sure if you still use it, but the icon kind of drove me nuts so I made some small tweaks to change the icon to be a domino, between 1-9 representing the ping time. That tells me at a quick glance whether my ping times are ~<100ms or ~300ms or ~700ms or something greater (in which case it shows an exclamation mark)

Anyways, all pretty self explanatory from the code changes and icon files below. I made them at both resolutions so it looks good on retina displays.

Made these changes and been using it for six months or so and kinda forgot about it, but thought you might like it if you still use this in your daily life.

Either way, cheers!

Thanks @nicpottier! Yes I still use iconping regularly, the change looks very useful, I'll install XCode in order to try it and merge. Thanks.

Great, ya, feel free to refactor it, was mostly just a toy thing for me, so lots of copy/paste in there instead of figuring out the right way to do it in ObjC etc..
