suggestion: metric/imperial conversion shortcuts

asiliat · 06-17-2004, 2:15 AM

Hey Conq,

How about a quick link/javascript that has some main conversions handy?

km <-> miles
litres <-> gallons
ml <-> quarts

Some simple ones, nothing fancy. Just nice to have when you're posting a msg, and you want everyone to understand just how slow you were going....

it would be a quick pop up, convert, click OK, boom, cut-paste to msg.

If you go to google and type in "60mph in kph" guess what it does

It works for most of the common conversions you might want to do.

Another thing which would be good is a Strine/Murrican translation utility

I have a program called Unit Converter Pro that will convert anything. May be use to any of you Engineering types out there. Anyone who wants it, please let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. It's less than a meg and is zipped.

but all the above wouldn't be as fast as if we had a quick pop up within the .org menus....
