It is linked at the end of the article:

some how the link to http://aem1k.com/aurebesh.js/ is missing, where he takes this one step further.

Oh dear...

this would obviously be a fun thing to do, but I wonder how much larger the code will get via this means of obfuscating.

Maybe space isn't a concern in your use case though...

I imagine it could be largely mitigated by compression

I have a "compression" feature for my jsfuck fork: http://centime.org/jsfsck/

only worth it for long enough code, but then the browser is having a lot of trouble parsing the obfuscated version...

Still: "The js code of this page has been encoded (see source). Compression reduced it from 288k to 37k characters."

With some code you don't need to run it though an obfuscator for it to be obfuscated
