Ok, here it is at last, my XDA Developers “BASH Obsfucation Contest” entry, gee I hope Blogger doesn’t chew up my formatting or escape chars… oh well here goes nothing… and let me know in the comments if you work it out :D

Here is the link to the XDA thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31053651#post31053651

And another to the YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=y-XSjjgQV80#t=151s

Checkout the script file here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3380589/bash%20scripts/santa.sh (the blog format exposes some of my Obsfucation… and also seems to chew up the odd character… doh, too tired to fix now).

Spoiler alert… I tell you what it does at the end… now on with the code:
