Step 4The Disk of Destiny
This is where you can unleash your creative talents. Mine are minimal, so I used the CDROM printing software which came with my Canon printer and a bit of clipart.
The important thing here is dividing the disk into the right number of segments. You can either eyeball it like I did, or use a protractor to get the exact angle for the lines. Divide the number of names into 360 to get the angle (e.g. 5 people is 360/5 = 72 degrees).
We are using a blank writeable CD so that the drive is aware that there is a disk in there, but can't make sense of it. It spins and spins, and eventually gives up, leaving the disk in a random position.
Note : Canon Pixma printers sold in the USA have the CDROM printing function disabled and do not include a tray, but you can enable the CD printing with the help of THIS instructable, and get a tray from eBay, or make one like THIS . (I'm in the UK, so mine was already enabled ;¬)
