This Is Great. Can you do this in real time? Well, at least update every 15 minutes?

woops, I forgot to rate....hmmmmm... OK I can't give it 5 stars, cos then you have nothing to aspire to. I'll do 4

Hi Andy its Cath. How did you do this? Its very clever. You should make an easy listening CD for meditation or something. Also have you thought about putting some subtle storm sounds in the background?
