Final DiscHub Codes: RFG987 FIG398 2587RT RE58TH

Plus two that were hidden that you guys didn't find, which means I'm awesome: ITU48G CZJSB5

Also, if any one is especially good hacking together homebrew gadgets, not afraid to get the ol' iron soldery or whatever, I've got an idea for a cool low-dollar USB device that's beyond my ability hardware-wise to cobble together (although I can probably manage the software interface to it). If you're interested send me a ping with like "GADGET SOLDER MASTER" or something as the subject and we can talk about it. If I don't get back to you soon it's because I'm busy and possibly deluged with offers of assistance (I hope).

Thanks!
