I am still here, just dont post as often as I used to. MyBlaster 1.4.1 
is the latest script and it does include the ability to learn new codes. 
You should be able to pick this up at sourceforge.net. I have not 
personally used the learning feature however others report it does work

I am not currently updating this script since the product line has been 
discontinued however if someone else comes up with a good update I would 
be happy to post it to sourceforge as well.
