# First install 't', the Twitter command line client: https://github.com/sferik/t#readme  
# This is a Ruby gem and if you are on Mac OS X or any flavour of *nix you're probably got Ruby.

# Next ensure you have 'curl' installed (on Mac OS X you probably do)

# Given these two prerequisites then... 

# Step 1: Grab the latest #ygk fluff filter from Gist #4297661 in raw form
EXCL="`curl https://gist.github.com/raw/4297661`"

# Default to 50 tweets but you can pass-in some other number
Q=${1:-50}

# Step 2: Fetch the last 100 #ygk tweets, cleansed of fluff
t search all "$EXCL" -l -n ${Q}
