This is a version of Cheap Bots, Done Quick! that runs as a single bot.

Basic instructions for usage:

• clone this repo to a Linux server
• get it set up as a Node app (install Node, if needed, then run npm install)
• create a Twitter app on the developer site, register a Twitter account, do that OAuth dance (maybe using http://v21.io/iwilldancetheoauthdanceforyou/ ?)
• put the values you get from that into a file called .env (as in .env_EXAMPLE)
• add your Tracery code into the rawGrammar variable within bot.js
• call run_bot.sh whenever you want the bot to tweet (ie via cron)
