Awkward.

The human condition as a one-liner.

tig, 5.8.2011

Copy and paste this one-liner into your OSX terminal window:

echo "Please enter your twitter username:"; read u; echo "And your Twitter password:"; read p; echo "Give it some time... Remember you can stop all the awkwardness by typing: kill - and then the following pid number:"; curl -d "track=awkward" http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json -u$u:$p 2>&1 | perl -pe 's|.*?,"text":"([^\"]*?)".*?$|\1\n|g' | while read line ; do echo $line | say ; done &

Then press enter.

When prompted, enter your Twitter credentials. (These will not be sent so anyone but Twitter!)

Have awkward fun!
