Hi Anonymous ;-)
Cutting open the USB connector is fairly easy, nowhere near as small as Garrett's PCB version but works fine. I used the DIP8 AVR package which doesn't quite fit inside the metal shield of the salvaged USB connector but using SMD resistors pinched form other PCB's... makes it fit inside the plastic. I haven't made PCB's for years.
It has still been easy to 'hide' in USB ports on the back of PC's and still heaps of laughs.
