Ah, a steganobfuscation, akin to my japh's japh II. In yours, J, A, P, and H are hidden in the number of non-whitespace characters tucked between the endpoints and the 3 spaces embedded in the code. You then add a constant and convert to ascii.

Don't be too bummed .. I thought I was original too, but this method has literally been in use for centuries.

As far as making the code smaller, I had to pad my code with filler because it was too efficient to house the amount of data I wanted to hide in it.
