Have you limited the number of seconds that can be specificed? I'm hoping not - I can think of some that would have VERY long timeouts (eg I'd like one that tells me if it's light or dark outside, which could theoretically be months long if you lived above the artic circle but realistically would need about 18 hours at the lattitude I live at). And the longer the timeout the less push we have to put on the machine to calculate stuff :) r Is that duration in seconds?
