haha, thats partly why i made it.
i kept looking at the whiz wheel in the sticky thread.. and was telling myself "One day i'll get off my lazy bum and make me a really good one.. with plastic and sticky back printing paper. The whole nine yards!" just like the OP of that thread did.
but i realized i was just a lazy bastard, so i downloaded his printable template and fired up Visual Studio 2008. In about an hour of C# coding I had a working software whiz wheel.
Initially i was just going to leave it at that, but that same night while having a smoke.. it dawned on me that if i made the dials aware of their orientation to each other... i could do all sorts of neat things. And it ballooned from there.
