My blog is running on octopress + github pages, so at first I had in my blog repo two branches:

• master
• source

The source branch is a place where I make changes, edit posts, add images etc. The master branch is generated and deployed by rake. This branch is acting like a hosting for gh-pages.

I wanted to split the repo so I used these following commands:

$ git remote add blog https://github.com/johnnykernel/blog.git

$ git push -u blog source

$ git push origin --delete source

Thus the master branch stays in johnnykernel.github.io repo. But the source branch moved to newly created repo called blog

script

little script written in python that sort an image array by column:

image_processing.py
import numpy as np
import scipy.misc

image = "/Users/username/image.jpg"

image_array = scipy.misc.imread(image)
a = np.sort(image_array, axis=0)

scipy.misc.imsave('outimage.jpg', a)

film itself

When death comes to a young boy in the prime of his life, he refuses to accept it and decides to escape this tragic fate by running away from place to place, trying to stay alive a little longer, holding himself to the memories of his family among other things. But running away from death can be a helpful solution? This marked Tengai Amano’s directorial debut short film, earning him several prizes.

source code

Don’t forget:

1. Install tweepy
2. Register your app

twitterImageBot.py:

import tweepy
import glob
import random
import os
import shutil

api_key = "api_key"
api_secret = "api_secret"
oauth_token = "access_token"
oauth_token_secret = "access_token_secret"
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(api_key, api_secret)
auth.set_access_token(oauth_token, oauth_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

abspath = os.path.abspath(__file__)
dname = os.path.dirname(abspath)
os.chdir(dname)

def randomimagetwitt(folder):
    images = glob.glob(folder + "*")
    image_open = images[random.randint(0,len(images))-1]
    api.update_with_media(image_open)
    shutil.copy(image_open, "copied_images/")
    os.remove(image_open)

randomimagetwitt("images_to_post/")

if you want your bot to simply post images every N minutes/hours/days, this bot would be perfect for you. it just takes a random image from the folder images_to_post/, post it using tweepy library, copy the image to the folder copied_images/ and finally removes it. so there will never be repeated images.

crontab scheduling

this is how my crontab schedule looks like (the bot posts a picture every 30 minutes):

0,30 * * * * python /Users/johnny/some_bots/ImageBotTwitter/image_bot.py
