+.SYNOPSIS
+	Watch pinging a host
+.DESCRIPTION
+	This PowerShell script pings the given host continously and shows the roundtrip times in a horizontal chart.
+.PARAMETER hostname
+	Specifies the hostname or IP address to ping (windows.com by default)
+.PARAMETER timeInterval
+	Specifies the time interval in milliseconds between two pings (1000 by default)
+.EXAMPLE
+	PS> ./watch-ping.ps1
+
+	   PING ROUNDTRIP TIMES TO: windows.com
+	#1 ██████████████ 136ms
+	#2 ████████████████ 154ms
+	#3 █████████████████████████ 234ms
