tweet your appreciation of the gr-r-reatest cereal of all time

Frosted Flakes is the greatest cereal of all time

I usually like my frosted flakes dry, but sometimes I have it with lactose free milk.

Share the love

You will need a twitter account and app.

Store your consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token and access_token_secret in credentials.py.

Install the python dependencies (I installed mine to a conda environment):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Change the last line of frosty.sh to use your default python if you're not using an environment, or else to use your environment of choice.

Setup a crob job ($ crontab -e) to run frosty.py as frequently as you'd like. I'm going to run it everyday at 10am, appending the output to a log file.
