sort\_of\_face
==============
A Twitter Gibberish Bot
by [Scott Smitelli](mailto:scott@smitelli.com)
Installation and Requirements
-----------------------------
sort\_of\_face is developed and tested on PHP 5.3 machines. I am almost positive
it will not run on 5.2 or lower. I never tested it on anything higher, either.
The `curl` extension is required for the various things that do HTTP requests,
and the `mbstring` extension is required because of some JavaScript scraping
shenanigans.
### To install:
1. Dump all the files somewhere. It really doesn't matter where.
2. `cp config.ini-sample config.ini`
3. Edit `config.ini` to suit your fancy. You'll have to put your own Twitter
OAuth keys in there, unless you don't want any tweeting to take place.
4. `./sort_of_face.sh`
That's it. The shell script is designed to never output anything, so you can add
it in a cron job without worrying about spamming root's inbox with junk. A file
called `debug.log` will be created (and appended) by the shell script, which can
tell you more than you ever cared to know about how the gibberish is built.

This package includes Abraham Williams' `twitteroauth` library.
Doesn't This Violate YouTube's Terms Of Service?

It most certainly does.
