 + Saves your sanity when the wifi sucks
 + Doesn't clutter up your screen with ping windows
 + Lets you know when pings fail instead of silently failing
+
+Usage (in Ubuntu):
+
+Open the Terminal program and enter the following commands:
+  cd ~
+  git clone https://github.com/zyphlar/pinger.git
+
+Open the Startup Applications program and click Add
+
+Name: Pinger
+Command: python ~/pinger/pinger.py
+
+Click Save, and Close. Pinger should now start automatically in your system tray when you login next. (It just says "xx.x ms"). You can test it manually by typing python ~/pinger/pinger.py in your terminal and pressing enter.
