Okay, so I'm one of those guys who always skips ahead and reads the last chapter before I've gotten very far into the book!
This is "Book 9", the last chapter of the "Tao of Programming" series. This time I decided to do an obfu instead of "perl poetry", as I'm still sharpening my skills in this area as well. Hopefully I've gotten a little better at making these things less readable. ;)

update: corrected windows problem, with thanks to BrowserUk
