Another way to make yours unique is to cause the program to execute a 
dump out of an unused pin. I
store the message containing my name in program memory but with a bit 
shifted left so it is not readable
in any form.

The dump I used was a "Manchester-like" code, sent from any digital pin. 
It is slow but is quite reliable.
A '1' is a case where, between two rising edges, the falling edge occurs 
AFTER the bit's midpoint; a '0',
the falling edge occurs BEFORE the bit's midpoint. I had it repeat my 
name repeatedly, with a 1-second
gap between passes.
