content: Gratz Apex.I want to see the source code of the wobulator, I'm curiousAnd next time I wanna see something electronics related instead of the dice. I don't know like the least digit of the resistance of a resistor drawn at random from a boxCheers

content: Why did Dave call it the wobulator?I see no relation between that and this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobulator

content: I thought he said 'wombulator', and I recognized it a generic 'doohickey' sort of term. I've heard it used in the context of an imaginary device, the sort that the new guy gets sent looking for (like left handed screwdriver or brick stretcher, et. al.).Also, congratulations Apex.

content: Cheers mate, like I said I was just curious. You can tell a few things from how people write codeMore than anything I wanted to see what language you used.Glad you liked the resistor idea

content: Make a circuit with a 555 and a decade counter as an electronic die.And don't stick a bloody micro controller into the circuit even if it is $0.50 PIC10F!
